This is WhyThis is why.
Why you cried
and did not cry.
You cried.
Tears from your eyes.
Shrieking so very so.
That day you cried
when you couldn't watch a tv show.
So.
When you confessed your crime,
sick wreckage that twisted our lives,
that day, did you cry?
Not a tear from either eye.
Casually did the words flow. 
With a small smile.  A prideful glow.
And this is why.
This is why.
Because you cried.
And then did not cry.

Pippin, Sam, Frodo, Merry

Just started rereading Fellowship of the Ring, and I love chapters 3-5 (Three is Company, A Shortcut to Mushrooms, A Conspiracy Unmasked). The four hobbits are so enjoyable to read that I was inspired to draw them, and in a manner that'd be fun for me to imagine as I continued progressing through the book. I'm especially happy with Merry, my favorite character, who I always imagined looking very jolly.


To fill you in on this illustration: to disguise his leaving the Shire, Frodo sells Bag End to the Sackville-Baggins and tells everyone he's moving to Crickhollow (in Buckland, where Merry lives). Merry arranges carriages to move his things, while Sam and Pippin accompany him on the trek by foot. A few days later they meet Merry on the road on his pony (who they fearfully mistake for a Black Rider at first) and they walk the rest of the way together. Hope you like it!

What I like the most about this illustration is that the color scheme is really vibrant, and it looks really awesome!

Hey thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it =) I know most Lord of the Rings illustrations are earth-tone, but I wanted this to look really cheery!

Oh! Is this how they were described in the books? Interesting -- they seem very different from how they looked in the movies. Maybe I should give them a read; the movies never really seemed to capture me and the books seem to have this... magic feel to the words from what I have read.

Still loving your way with colors and your art style. <3 Makes this come alive and lift off the background!

Guh, I meant I prefer the books because the movies went in the wrong direction, in my opinion.
I'm typoing all over the place tonight.

Not at all actually :XD: There's incredibly scant character description, especially on the hobbits. The most Tolkien reveals is that Frodo has a cleft chin, and that he and Sam have brown hair--I believe it's also mentioned in some other book that Pippin has almost golden hair, but he removed that later. So how they look here is mostly my imagination~ (and movie influence of course)

I do prefer the books only because they went the wrong direction, in my opinion of course. You should give them a try if you're interested!

Thanks!
