Pallando is one of the two Blue Wizards(Istari) sent by Iluvatar and the Vallar to guide and help Men in there struggle against Sauron.Pallando Originally went to the Far-East of Middle-Earth along with his friend Alatar and Saruman(leader of the Istari).Later Saruman went west to Issengard and Alatar went South to the lands of Far-Harad(the far southern lands of Middle-Earth).During the War Of The Ring Pallando played the same role in Far-Eastern Middle-Earth as Gandalf played in the West of Middle-Earth.Here's my take on Pallando the Blue Wizard Of The East.His head is a resin casting of an original Yokai-John Head sculpt(I altered the hair with some clay and gave him a beard with white pompom fur).His Body is a CTVT body with Doc Mego hands.I carved his Staff from a wooden chopstick(I added some detail with the clay).I sculpted his hat from Clay.For his blue robe I used a jedi style robe(I got from a friend)which I dyed teal blue with Rit Fabric dye and his dark blue shirt and pants are from Castaway Toys.I sculpted his slippers from sculpey. His head and all sculpted parts were painted with acrylics and sealed with Mod-Podge.
