It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

In The Annotated Hobbit, Tolkien’s description of Gollum was compiled from multiple sources as follows: "a slimy little creature, not larger than Bilbo: thin, with a large head for his size; large, protuberant eyes; a long, skinny neck; and thin, lank hair. His skin was very white, and evidently he work black garments [with pockets]. (He was never naked). His hands were long and his feet were webby, with prehensile toes."

I had it brighter at one point, with more of a shiny glow, but it didn't look right to me...Thanks though! I'll keep it in mind.

The style reminds me of the art I saw in Heavy Metal mags as a kid. Truly epic work, mike!
