Description
...the third illustration in the series for my school project. I decided to illustrate the infamous introduction of Gollum and the 'finding of the ring' for the promotional poster. This scene is obviously committed to "The Hobbit" but recounts the popularity of the motion picture.

Thanks for the comments!

gotta love one w/ bilbo and gollum.
This one, while good is a bit off story wise. As I recall, Bilbo was more afraid than anything else during that sequence with Gollum. He did have Sting and even tried threatening Gollum with it but I think his face would be giving away more fear than anger as you've portrayed it at this point in the story. The art itself is excellent as always though.
Thanks Teyon. I agree, I drew Bilbo as too much of an action figure when he's more of a hesitant hero by chance. I think it could be remedied by making his eyebrows less angry/intimidating. Thanks again!
Bilbo with a vengeance, yippy ki ay gollum :)
The artwork by itself is very nice, but I almost expect Bilbo to start growing Adamantium claws from his knuckles. First look reminded me of Wolverine...
keep them coming. I am really impressed so far.
Excellent image!!
Picture looks great but I agree with Teyon and Tsetem. Would be a cool scene from "To live and die in the Misty Mountains" or "Hobbit Extreme".
Excellent artwork!!
