Description An other challenging drawing, the third with characters of Middle-earth as subject. I guess now I will take a holiday from Tolkien and Jackson and I will devote myself to other subject.

Thorin, with Gandalf, is undoubtedly the most charismatic carachter of The Hobbit. This drawing is dedicated to the famous dwarf and to the actor who managed the great dignity, the infinite courage and generosity. The reference images are different, but I hope you like the resault

Your critique is quite valid, but Thorin Oakenshield had absolutely nothing to do with the Fellowship or the Ring. */nerd

Non posso che restare a bocca aperta.
Quando ho visto questo tuo lavoro ho seriamente pensato fosse una foto scannerizzata.
Data la mia scarsa capacità con il disegno, probabilmente l'impatto è ancora maggiore.
Io amo seriamente questo lavoro.
Sei riuscito a cogliere in pieno lo sguardo di Thorin, il suo orgoglio, il suo cipiglio severo ma al contempo gentile. Ogni cosa è studiata con minuzia, mi piace in particolarmente vedere la compagnia avviarsi, che si gira a guardarci come a renderci partecipe di quanto sta avvenendo, come se noi fossimo in viaggio con loro. Il bianco e nero poi da una sensazione quasi ultraterrena, fantastica, il cui lo spirito e il mondo di Tolkien prende vita.
Da fan, posso solo complimentarmi per questo spettacolo visivo.
Da artista (anche se non mi reputo tale) l'uso del chiaro/scuro mi affascina tantissimo, e quella luna lì, che si erge e illumina i nostri protagonisti, è un tocco di classe.
Bravo, bravissimo! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

Comme à vôtre habitude, vous avez atteint des sommets.
L'ambiance générale est réussis, on se croirait bien en Terre du Milieu au clair de lune.
Le relief des cheveux sur le grand portrait est très bien, les poils de barbe sont super (merci l'indentation).
Les deux portraits sont tellement proche de l'originale que l'ont dirait un imprimé de la photo.
Le pommeau de l'épée parait réel, la matière (acier) est très bien faite.
Je n'ai pas de critique négative, j'ai trouvé en vous mon maître.

Félicitation mon cher, j'ai envie de partir avec Thorin & Cie grâce à vous et vôtre talent, merci !

I don't usually do critiques, but I found myself in awe of this piece. Originally I expected this to be digital when I saw the thumbnail, but I was most pleased to find that I was not correct.
Your vision of putting these 3 scenes together is unique, and your attention to details and proportions is most exquisite! This is absolutely beautiful and your focus to detail on everything rather than the subject is well executed. The metal of Thorin's armor I think is my favorite part.
Technique was in everything I felt, from the mist in the background to the fur of Thorin's coat. Your vision is obvious and I only dream of making something like this. So that ought to explain impact as well.
Still in awe of it being in traditional.
Thank you so much for posting this!

Of all the characters in Tolkien's stories, Thorin  Oakenshield is my favorite character and when I read the books back in the 1970s I was devastated when his character died. 

I have not seen the 3rd movie of The Hobbit series yet.  I am going to have to watch it one of these days.  As someone who does not draw, it seems miraculous that a person can take a pencil and paper and create a likeness of another living being.  I don't see how that is possible.  It seems like magic to me. 

Your work is wonderful, I love it!

E' spettacolare!
Non riesco a staccare gli occhi da questo disegno.
Ho apprezzato la cura meticolosa dei dettagli. E la scelta delle espressioni del soggetto che trasmettono i pensieri di Thorin attraverso un solo sguardo. Inoltre ritengo che nel complesso sia una composizione perfetta ed equilibrata.
Non voglio ripetermi, ma è davvero spettacolare. Complimenti!
