Poor Fat Bomburby ~fresco-child

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

"In the darkness floundering in the cold water they had a difficult and very nasty job finding which were the right barrels. Knocking outside and calling only discovered about six dwarves could answer. These were unpacked and helped ashore where they sat or lay muttering and moaning; they were so soaked and bruised and cramped that they could hardly yet realise their release or be properly thankful for it.

Dwalin and Balin were two of the most unhappy, and it was no good asking them to help. Bifur and Bofur were less knocked about and drier, but they lay down and would do nothing...Poor fat Bombur was asleep or senseless..they all had to be carried out one by one and laid helpless on the shore"
-J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973); The Hobbit: A Warm Welcome, pg. 181

{Pictured: Bifur and Bofur helping a senseless and annoyed Bombur climb out from his water-logged, hay-packed vessel}

Perfect balance between movie and book vision of the characters. Btw. how did you "fix" the problem with that piece of scrap metal in Bifur's head?
You totally should do Fili and Kili, because even though Fili in the movies looks nearly perfect (except for too little facial hair) I can't stand PJ's version of Kili. I don't think it would be trouble for audience to distinguish them if they both have beards and blonde hair.

Bombur must be one of the most adorable characters that I've ever read in my entire life. Nice work here, you portrayed him just as I imagined him while reading. Good work!
