Hobbit Art

Any sort of Middle Earth legendarium artwork is ok. It doesn't need to be made by or about hobbits.

Please give attribution to the original artist when possible.

It is not required, but if you know, please talk a bit about the scene in the image. What's going on? Who is in it? Why is it happening? Do you like it? Why?

Don't forget about the other hobbit forums here: !hobbits@hobbit.world !hobbit_games@hobbit.world

I love any picture that shows a sense of scale like this. Not sure who the soldier is likely to be. Probably a random Gondorian who didn't sign up for this type of combat?

You are not the first one to notice :).

My reply was:

Indeed! The style looked familiar and I was not able to identify it.

Most of the ilustrations of Lorenzo Colangeli are in a very similar style. Example:
