Smeagol, Deagol, & their race of beings

[Wormtongue]

Hail all! I've read all there really is to read about these interesting braches of Hobbit, and was wondering about the vastly numerous portrayals of these creatures. I've seen him (Gollum) pictured as almost a quasi-amphibian with green skin and bulbous eyes to an emaciated little naked halfling with long hands and feet. I opt for the latter, but he doesn't seem as devilish and slimey as the pitiful halfling type would make him out to be. A number of pictures I've seen float in between frog-man and gnome. I'm curious as to your general mental image (is it the same as the movie?) of these people and if you've any more information than what Gandalf reveals in Fellowship, feel free to enlighten my rogueish countenance!
