Did you read about Gandalf before seeing an image of him (either as an illustration or on screen)?

If you read about Gandalf first did the image of him created by someone else match what you had in mind when reading?

If you saw an image of Gandalf first did that influence what you saw in your mind when you read about him (ie did your mind automatically call up the image you had seen whenever you saw his name)?

These questions could easily be applied to other characters, if you have a specific recolection of a character matching or not matching what you expected please let me know.

Cheers!

Now we’ve experimented and know some of the pitfalls we’ll try something else, maybe next time though we’ll need someone who can do voice overs (as it’s not something I’d want to do much of!)

It was fun creating a couple of John Howe illustrations in three dimension (though there were a few little differences).

Original Gandalf illustration

And our version…

Then there was Bilbo’s front hall by John Howe, and here is our version…

More to follow when we’ve time.
