Note to all the Tolkien fans out there: please, take your time when commenting on Tolkien "fanart".
Consider - even if it does not fit your mental picture - whether it does or does not justice to the original as the author devised it. Make comments and suggestions as you see fit. The "Tolkien illustrator" (so to speak) will surely benefit from this kind of feedback and thank you for it
