| 15 Mar 2002 | Icedragon | Loading...great pic! very close to the word. but I don't think I like Bilbo's face, little crooked. | |
| 27 Mar 2002 | Abby | Loading...Another great work! I shall repeat the words of others and say that Bilbo's face does look a little off, but that is beside the point. I love it, keep it coming! | |
| 3 Apr 2002 | Professor eblay from the academy of art (london) | Loading...I think this painting does not capture the mood at all. The hobbit was more scared then angry. You have made the darwfs too tall and the hobbit to thin. The hobbit shoud be plumper and more hairy. I am a mere critic so if you like yor painting so be it. I do not! | |
| 8 Apr 2002 | Anonymous | Loading...Hey prof hobbits have hairy feet they doo not have hairy bodys you are very picky mabey the dwarfs were on weight watchers !!! Lol he he! | |
| 25 Aug 2002 | Cliff | Loading...I never thought about it, but yes, Bilbo was probably just a bit razzed by having to serve 13 dwarves on such short notice. (Okay, no notice.) Very nice overall feel to the painting. Really enjoyable. | |
| 19 Aug 2003 | Lisa Samuelsson | Loading...Let me guess, this pic took some time, eh? The result is very, very good however. | |
| 20 Feb 2004 | Jerry McGinnis | Loading...Thank you, one of my favorite 'scenes' of the whole of Tolkien's works, and I think you are the first to do it, or at least to do it right. | |
| 12 Nov 2006 | Marie | Loading...The whole thing made me laugh because i remember reading this scene and picturing it. This picture is just so fantastic and although everyone thinks differently, i do actually like the way Bilbos face is potrayed. The commenter called professor is a bit too critical. But you can't please some so dont bother trying' just please yourself. And the pic may have taken a lot of time but 'YOU CANT RUSH ART' If you rush it, it will not be your best and you will not feel as good about it as you normally would. Brill work Christiaan. | |
| 17 Jan 2007 | Katerina A. Romanova | Loading...This is amazing, I love how you pictured it. Bilbo looks appropriately thin-skinned and annoyed, and Gandalf and the dwarf leader are lost in (probably) serious conversation before the fire, while all the others are just having fun.  Brilliant illustration. I'll be back to comment on more of your works, if I don't, poke me. Right now I have to sleep.  | |
| 26 Jan 2009 | Heidi Hecht | Loading...Nice job capturing Bilbo’s mood here. Yeah, sheesh, you invite a wizard over to tea and he brings all his friends, LOL. The dwarfs look awesome, too. | |
