The Hobbit Study "FINAL" ContestYour Favorite Scene in The Hobbit (must have a Hobbit in it!) The final Hobbit Art “Challenge” will also be a contest with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd to be voted on by members of TR... ... AND you will also receive participation points to add with your study points. (I now know what the surprises for the end of The Hobbit are and you WILL WANT to have one…trust me? All media can be used and your work can be rendered by hand or by any other means as long as it is original…no digital altering of “borrowed” Tolkien images! (You must send a written consent form with your artwork.)Please place your entries into the Hobbit Art Challenge Album in Photobucket (Password: tolkienrules) and then post to this thread.We encourage you to share a little how you did the work. I will have a member’s voting poll at the end of the contest (as Fang as been doing in the Poetry Contests). After the voting is finished, the results will be posted to Awards threads. The contest begins NOW and all entries are due before midnight on October 31, 2004. Once submitted, the artwork will be considered 'final' and no further modifications should be made. (You must send a written email consent letter with a copy of your artwork attached to MajahTR@aol.com) If you have any questions, just email me! Thanks and Have Fun! Majah

Good Morning By Desi Baggins I had drawn this hobbit with pencil a while ago. So I made the hobbit hole in paint shop and gave it a grain filter. Then I colored my hobbit in paint shop and gave it a shadow. I put the two together added some smoke rings!

Weeeeeellllllll...tonight was to be the deadline for the art contest and thanks to Desi we do have an entry!
i am wondering what has happened to our artists...myself included this month?
perhaps the fact that our Hobbit study has ground to a wee bit of a halt slowed down the enthusiasm for the art and poetry contests?
So congratulations to you Desi...you deserve a very special award for being so ready and willing to participate in TR and make it a better place to be.
Thanks for all the heart and soul you put into everything that you do! Let's give her a HUGE hand!
and a note to everyone else...i still would like to see any of your work for this contest posted when you finish it... i will finish mine, i promise!
Majah

Three Cheers for Desi! She does deserve a loud round of applause!
The topic is really a great one and does deserve all of our artists consideration.
This month was just too hectic for me and given my very slow progress on doing anything artistic, I just decided not to attempt it. There is a scene that I had pictured in my mind that would be a good one for this topic, so perhaps I can settle down with paper, pencil, and brush and work something out eventually!
Anyway! Three Cheers for Desi!

Congratulations, Desi!!! Loved your entry! Especially the smoke rings! Last month was hell for me regarding work (and it's still not over). I had actually started painting a third dragon (for the Smaug art challenge, so it must be a while back) and it is still waiting for me to finish it...

Majah: Wow! I like the sketch already and when you finally do get around to painting it, I know it will be colorful, lively, funny and excellent! * * * In the spirit of unfinished work, I decided to join you in posting my unfinished Hobbit art. It is coming along nicely, but the holidays are getting in the way big time. I still have much to add to this and only put the background in to give it a sense of brightness on top and darkness on bottom for now. I have leaves and butterflies to add yet and more gloom the further down into Mirkwood it goes.
