Description
Finally done (and oh look, a I gave it a better name too!).

This drawing is for Cataclysm-X 's Couples, Pairs and Duos contest news.deviantart.com/article/84…
It's meant to show the two (main?) different personalities of Gollum. I used Sauron's eye, and his ring to seperate the two Gollums because the ring seemed sort of responisble for the split personality. Frodo and Sam are where they are because Frodo - as 'Master' - gave the friendly side of Gollum a chance. Sam because in my mind his suspisions are linked with the other Gollum.

Origenally, the concept I came up with about a year ago, after havign just watched lotr for the first time (or was it second? or third? they were so close together...) Just had the two gollums and the ring hanging down. When I read about the contest, I decided that I finally had an excuse to make me sit down and actually draw this drawing. The first thing I realised, was that just having the ring hanging there wasn't enough to seperate the two halves of the image. So I added the eye. I had to invent most of the top of the tower, because all the screenshots I had were so dark.
Then, I decided that actually the top of the page was far too boring. So I added Frodo and Sam. I'm actually very happy wit how Sam's face turned out, since in the past I've never managed to get him looking, well, like Sam. Not so happy with frodo, but then those faces are rather tiny, so not easy to draw at all.
Finally, after messing about drawing clouds I added another little creature, because some time ago I told ninjapengui I would See if you can spot it.

So the Main 'pair' in this drawing is, of course the two Gollums. However there are several others: Sauron and the ring; Sam and Frodo - 'his bodyguard?' 'no, I'm his gardener'; Frodo and friendly gollum (smeagle) - 'Master looks after us now... we don't need you;' Gollum (both of him) and the ring - 'my precccioussssssssssss!' and many more.

Drawn over a period of time, using pencils - mainly HB, with a B used for the ring, eyes and hair, and also 2B for the tower. I also made heavy use of cotton buds for blending, and a kneadable eraser and blutack for earsing and stuff.
