Hobbit Art

Any sort of Middle Earth legendarium artwork is ok. It doesn't need to be made by or about hobbits.

Please give attribution to the original artist when possible.

It is not required, but if you know, please talk a bit about the scene in the image. What's going on? Who is in it? Why is it happening? Do you like it? Why?

I like art styles that stand out. The faces in this image are so expressive! Grima looks really upset, presumably because Saruman just told them all that Grima had murdered and possibly eaten Lotho.

I'm not sure if that weird bowl haircut guy is supposed to be Frodo or not.

This image is apparently by Denis Gordeev, a Russian artist born in 1964. I got the impression he was famous, but he doesn't have a wikipedia page, so I'm not sure.

Here's another picture which I believe is from the same author. This appears to be Frodo and Sam, so that means the bowl cut guy in the above picture is Frodo and Sam is the angry guy right above Grima. The two armored hobbits must be Merry and Pippin.
