"He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf over which his long white beard hung down below his waist, and immense black boots".
Really pleased with how the shading has worked out on this one, particularly getting a bit of a distinction between the two greys. I used a lot of drybrushing, gradually a lightly building up the layers, to give a bit of a rough texture to the cloth. Bottom of the cloak got successive drybrushes with GW Zandri Dust to make it look travel-worn.
Feather is based on a pheasant - yes I know it was a species technically introduced to England as a game bird, rather than native, but if Tolkien can include tobacco I say 'why not'!
