Description

though i have done a few tolkein-esque works, this is my first overt portrayal of one of his characters. the little fellow is one of my favorite fiction characters of all time, in no small part because he has his priorities straight. this illustration, done in 30-35 hours in painter 8, shows the diminuitive adventurer in the middle of an afternoon break. soup on the boil, favorite treats galore, and warm sunshine to boot. hope he puts a smile on your face.

The execution is quite skillful, and lighting is good, and texture too. I could criticize the proportions of the figure, though... and I don't agree with characterization. But that's subjective.

Oooh, very nice!

I like the lovely colours and all the little details. I agree his proportions don't look very Hobbit-y, he's rather slim and his arms are short-ish thus making his legs look long. He sure looks cozy though.
Another thing, imho the light from the fire could be a bit warmer/ more orange and less pink.

this is excellent! I want you to become elite!!

I've been trying to find faults, but haven't found anything yet ^_^ The thing I love the most with this painting must be the smile on his face.

I feel like giving you a +10

Schaal!

Hmm.. If I may... the fill light coming from the fireplace, would that not illuminate the face a little more? Something in the lighting that I just can't put my finger on.

* I like it..

Although, if you squint.. it looks like David Letterman in a Star Trek convention. (hobbit/vulcan ears)
