Tolkieniados will probably remember Frodo Baggins trip down the river Anduin, with Gollum following him as an nearly unvisible but unpleasant shadow. Background to this scene was made with Terragen (I'm getting better..) and the foreground and details were drawn over it in Dabbler.

I like his hairstyle MUCH better than Elijah Wood's. This is definitely Frodo--by the way, Elijah Woods looks to me much more like Legolas or Pippin

If Gollum is in any more images, I will have a heart attack.

Looks just as i imagined Frodo and I love how you added golum/smeagal. Some people forget him in the fellowship.

Very nice my preciousss 2 Frodos face is nice - he is not as so many hobbits on illustrations which are horrible as little trolls or something ueeehhh 8 and imo it is also at the exact boo kversion's age and is not overly film-stylish which is good. But I think that the head of Frodo is slightly too big it should be maybe 2/3 of actual size.
I also think the river is very good as it is - even big rivers are'nt at the same speed of flow in every corner or even the tha centre of it. Where the river is wider the speed is slower. And I know that at the dusk with the mists setting the exact speed of the flow could'nt be seen very well, even when you are sailing on the current. Anduin is wide so there would be places where the flow is slow and there would be nothing like foam or white currents.
I also like this kind of colours - the colours of dusk over the water. I'm sorry for my strict and simple language - english is not my native language 2

This picture is somewhat sneaky. Couse Gollum is in the centre of it but we, at first cannot see him couse the attention is drawn - understandably - to Frodo so even if he is at the centre he is mostly invicible.
