Aww! They are SO cute! The style is really neat, and the background is really well done, nicely detailed. The sepia tone also gives it the same middle ages feel that the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy has. Great!

:-) Liliane Grenier replies: "Yes, that's why I use this kind of colors, somehow it wouldn't be the same with a darker or black ink.Thanks for the comment!"

Hey Liliane me again (I bet I'm getting annoying now.) ): I never took a chance to look at this picture before its so sweet. They look so happy and derserving of one another so it leads me to ask and perharps beg if I can borrow this picture for my tour as it symbolises what I wish to show. Well done on a splendid picture. Gen*

This is so charming, you have a real gift for line-work and a wonderfully subtle sense for colour. Gorgeous.

Tolkien's own drawings tried for a more realistic style, but both Tolkien and C S Lewis worked with an illustrator called Pauline Baynes. Her style is, like yours here, reminiscent of early woodcuts. (See Farmer Giles of Ham and Smith of Wootton Major) What I'm saying is Tolkien would have loved this - and so do I.

I love it! but i think samwise kind of looks like a teenager and so does rose! but they are the cutest of all couples in middle earth and i think they are the people who were the most able to become one! great work!

Aw! This is my favorite. I think this should be a stain-glass window or something. So much detail in it, wow.

It looks like a wedding poster/invite that would be put up around Hobbiton!
