![]() Still images of these things are still rather difficult to find: They redeemed them and actually got their discount.īelow is a picture of the spongmonkeys that I found on someone else's blog. Michael's solution was to take a napkin, rip it in half, and scrawl a legend on each half: 'One dollar off grenades,' one said 'One dollar off foot replacement,' said the other. Last night, while I was doing my radio show, the two of them went into Cedar Rapids to have Quizno's for dinner, but forgot to bring in random coupons to get a dollar off of their sandwhiches. Monica loathes them Michael and I delight in occasionally abusing her by singing like them. Quizno's.I've made a number of comments about their new commercials in the past month, and I continue to enjoy the spongmonkeys when they make their appearances on television. I'm making it available for download here. It has Natalie Portman on it, and is exceptionally well done. There's also a really cool Winamp skin that I found last night (in fact, I'm using it now). I would love to have this poster on my wall at home, and I can hardly wait until the DVD comes out so I can bawl my eyes out over the movie without worrying about other people. This scene had me stifling back sobs in the crowded movie theatre on opening day when I saw it, and I haven't been able to forget it since. Sam makes his heart-wrenching plea to Frodo, which is on the poster: Frodo has been weighed down by the Ring for so long that now, in the face of finally being free of it, he cannot go on under his own strength any longer. Doom on the last stage of their quest to destroy the Ring. As you'll be able to see below, it's an image of Sam carrying Frodo up Mt. That's unfortunate, because it's the best of the whole series of posters. First, there's a JPEG of the last of the 'Return of the King' theatrical posters, this one available only on the NewLine online store. So, that’s all for my semi-request Lord of the Rings sketch! I have no clue what’s next, but the weekend is here, so I’m sure something will come up.Had a couple of new items I wanted to put up on the blog this morning. Here’s the only progression image I have, which was just after laying down some shadows, but prior to any blending: I think this is mostly because I moved sort of quickly on this one. Here’s the unedited one:Īlso, this time I only remembered to take one progression photo. (Update: I cleaned up the photo with a reshoot, but unfortunately I’m a bit too lazy to go back and add the speech bubbles). Clearly, it loses some “umph” without some commentary on Frodo’s laziness. My Gollum doesn’t look much like the Andy Serkis CJI Smeagol from the actual movie, but I’m actually okay with that I think it’s still obvious who that’s supposed to be.Īlthough the Gollum speech bubble version is top billing in this post, I also wanted to include the original drawing without the comic relief. The angle didn’t really leave much room to show Frodo’s face, so we can just assume that he does look like Elijah Wood. I think it does actually look like him for the most part. At first, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to capture Sean Astin’s Samwise accurately. I’m going to post this ridiculousness to Instagram as the “ fulfilled request.”įor what started as a joke drawing, this one really did work out well. I added good ol’ Gollum/Smeagol peeking out from behind a rock, and reserved some space for a digitally-added speech bubble for whatever lame joke I wanted to add. ![]() ![]() ![]() I modified the caption plan as the sketch proceeded, because I liked how it was turning out and didn’t want to mess it up with a speech bubble. I even planned to draw in a caption about Frodo being a slacker. In fact, as I was drawing this scene, I approached it at first mostly as a joke. Once I realized this wasn’t a real request, it definitely loosened me up a bit. And so that’s exactly what I decided to draw! I responded by saying that I would do a sketch featuring the true hero of Lord of the Rings, Samwise, carrying that lazy hobbit Frodo up a volcano. In the comments of an Instagram post I made on my last sketch (Fezzik and Inigo from the Princess Bride), one of my longtime friends responded with “ Sam and Frodo.” This comment was pretty exciting, because I thought it was a request for another sketch! As it turns out, he was joking (which should have been obvious in hindsight), but I already had in my mind to move forward with it. ![]()
