IF ...jungle/robot/travel

Bilbo Baggins traveled from the comfort of his globular existence to confront the wilds and bizarros of the not-so-urban jungle  ~encountering trolls, wolves, giant spiders, changelings and Gollum all on the road to defeating a dragon.  Such a dose of adventure can lead to habitual wanderlust.
~likely a hard hobbit to break...

    I love the atmosphere in this piece, and his expression. I think I'd be like any other good hobbit when the adventures are done and stay home!

    Thank you for posting your process, Richard. I find it interesting that you abandoned your first composition ... and how much stronger the final became as a result. Your subtle background creates a quiet, yet tense, feeling. Just looking at it, I can hear crickets and feel the hairs standing up on the back of my neck. Bilbo, being foreshortened and spotlighted, is a wonderful and dynamic contrast. I love his toes!

    Great job portraying the heroism of such a diminutive figure. I love the mood and the foreignness of the world that you created. poor Bilbo is far from the comforts of the hobbit hole.

    I can feel this drawing...it reminded me of the feelings I had as a kid reading the Hobbit (it was one of my first books)...Its not an easy subject like one could imagine, I expect, however you have made it easy on the eye with this brilliant study in perspective. A Master in composition.
