Description
Legolas in the scene: "The Breaking of the Fellowship" in The Fellowship of the Ring.They drew up the last boat and carried it to the trees. They laid beneath it such of their goods as they did not need and could not carry away. Then they left Parth Galen. The afternoon was fading as they came back to the glade where Boromir had fallen. There they picked up the trail of the Orcs. It needed little skill to find.
'No other folk make such a trampling.' said Legolas. 'It seems their delight to slash and beat down growing things that are not even in their way.'
'But they go with a great speed for all that.' said Aragorn, 'and they do not tire. And later we may have to search for our path in hard bare lands.'
'Well, after them!' said Gimli. 'Dwarves too can go swiftly, and they do not tire sooner than Orcs. But it will be a long chase: they have a long start.
'Yes,' said Aragorn, 'we shall all need the endurance of Dwarves. But come! With hope or without hope we will follow the trail of our enemies. And woe to them, if we prove the swifter! We will make such a chase as shall be accounted a marvel among the Three Kindreds: Elves, Dwarves, and Men. Forth the Three Hunters!'
And with that, my Fellowship Portrait Series is complete. It has taken me eight months, has been fun, frustrating, and at times challenging. But now it is time to lay this project to rest and move on to the next one. I can assure you there will not be as long of a wait for my next piece.

Yes, I suppose my portraits do have a rather photographic quality to them. Thank you!

Thanks! The expression was really the strongest factor in my choice for this shot.

Wow! I had to go back and look at the rest of them. Unbelievable that they were done on the DS. Your eye for portraiture is fantastic. Any chance you'll do the dwarves and Bilbo from The Hobbit trilogy?

Thank you very much.
Regarding the dwarves...that sure would be a tall order, especially considering that Gimli took the longest of all the Nine. But to tell you the truth, none of them seem to stand out to me. I may eventually do a portrait of Bilbo, though I'd likely do one of Ian Holmes' Bilbo before Freeman's, simply as a matter of propriety. For now though, I would like to try my hand at a few characters from a different franchise.

Great series! I hope I can be as good at painting someday, even if only on the Art Academy games ^-^

Thank you. It has taken years of practice to acquire such skill, and one of the most important lessons I've learned is to never underestimate the value of plain old pencil and paper.
