Description The hobbits lost in the Barrow-Downs... Pippin is closest to the camera but it should be Merry I forgot which one was coming last... Oh well, Pippin thinks he hears something...lets pretend they've already gotten turned around at this point and Merry's managed to go past Pippin without realising

Merry is in front of him, the Sam then Frodo up on top of the hill there...


Just HAD to take a night to do a quick 2hr painting. I was dying under all the uni work. Tuppence my dog stepped on the bottom when it was still wet (down near Pippin's pony's feet) so thats why you can see paper wrinkles there...

This has a great dreamy and foggy feel to it. Pippin and the pony are both very cute.

This is being featured here:

The wrinkled paper actually adds a really cool effect XD I'm not sure how to explain it but in my weird twisted mind it fits totally in with the Barrow-Downs.

Awesome. I really like how you handled the water color. If I attempted anything like that it would turn into a soggy mess. And a little LOTR art is always nice. You should make a piece with sexy Boromir in it.

really good picture!
But being a rider myself there are a few things that bother me Reins are not held like that. Frodo\'s feet (I assume it\'s Frodo) slid to deep in the stirrups and with his knees drawn up like that he\'d fall over from the slightest jump the pony makes.
but as I said: it\'s a really good picture. I\'ve added it to my LotR-collection.

I know I used to ride too Im wanting Pippin (in the Artist's Comments it says its Pippin) to fall off soon otherwise I dont know how the BallowWights would have gotten him. In my head after this the horse hears what he's hearing and bolts and off he goes onto the grownd
