Description This is an old homework assignment from my Kubie days. We had to create a book cover in full color and 3 interior monochromatic images (might post those later). I love the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books (who doesn't?) so that's what I did.

Funny story with this pic is that it wasn't until we were all done and giving the class critiques that I noticed that I had totally forgotten to give Smaug wings! No one else seemed to notice so I kept my mouth shut.

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are (c) J.R.R. Tolkien. This was produced by myself free hand with no outside references.

Thank you! Yes I took more after the books and the original animated movie in the style for this. I love the movies, but this is how I will always picture Bilbo.

You're welcome!
This actually looks like a 51 year old Hobbit.
I think Sam was the only one who looked like a Hobbit in the movie series.

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night,
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.
The bells were ringing in the dale
And men looked up with faces pale;
The dragon's ire more fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail.

Wow! Thanks! It is still a painting that I like when I look at it, even after all of the years and that is saying something! Glad you like it!
