Description
Crossover Asterix / The Hobbit

Exactly what's said in the title.

I finally saw the Hobbit recently and I just loved, it was even better than I expected and...

Ok, ok, I'll stop right now and I'll explain this instead.

I had the idea of this weird crossover right after seeing the movie because Bombur strongly reminded me of Obelix. Let's see, both are fat (er, I mean they're not fat, no, just... well wrapped), really big eaters, red-headed, have a moustache (albeit a very long braided one in Bombur's case) and even braids. Come on, I can't be the only one who thought of this, right ?

Moreover, I think the dwarfs from the movie would get along quite well with the Gauls from the comic: both groups are brave, love to fight and eat, value friendship and loyalty very highly and are cheerful and likeable despite having quite rude manners, especially at table. As for the Gauls, they would just love Middle Earth, especially the dwarfs, and probably the hobbits too, most likely the Took I guess. As for Obelix, there's a lot of “Romans” to fight who are really different from those they have at home: orcs and goblins (seriously, he thought Indians were just “strange Romans” in Asterix and the Great Crossing, so he would definitely think the same of the orcs). I think that it would be the first time someone would be happy to see these creatures and run towards them.

Anyway, that's how I got the idea for that rough sketch where you can see Obelix as Bombur eating a wild boar and Asterix as Bofur with a smoking pipe. I choose to represent Asterix as this dwarf because he's the closest to Bombur, apparently the smart one from what we've seen so far and he has a cool hat just like Asterix has a cool helmet. I did the drawing without any reference and rather quickly so there must be some mistakes, plus adapting the clothes and hairstyle of The Hobbit in Asterix's style ain't easy, and, worst of all, I'm not happy with their hands and feet, the parts of human anatomy I have the most difficulty to draw without references, so I'll try to correct it if I do a clean version of this.

Disclaimer: The Hobbit belongs to JRR Tolkien and Peter Jackson for the movie, Asterix and Obelix belong to Goscinny and Uderzo and of course I'm not paid for this.
