"Meeting with the Elves" by Peter Xavier Price

Peter, you've really out done yourself. I love the expression of the Elf thats looking at Frodo...he's listening so intently, and yet he's sitting stock still so you kind of have to trust he's listening, and of course you don't want to bluntly say, "hey? are you listening?!" I mean, respect for the Elven race goes a long way. Its kind of unnatural the way these Elven peeps act, no? Its almost TOO immaculate...but I do adore them, nonetheless. Though, personally i think that humans have a certain inner spirit that is repeatedly overlooked by all other races, and that, we could seriously wipe the floor with Elves and other races as well.
I love the name Peter...most likely has to do with my crush on Peter Parker...*ahem* Why did i JUST say that? *embarrassed beyond belief that her fave living artist after her sister knows this now* We can still be friends, right? I still love you and your art!!!!Again, thank you for such a wonderful comment, and for one that sparks debate. I agree, humans do have an almost indomitable spirit. But one must remember that the Elves are inherently 'more good' than Men, and less susceptible to evil. I don't recall any Elf being willingly or openly seduced by either Morgoth or Sauron (as opposed to most of mankind), and the only reason that the Men of the West are so noble is because of Elvish influence, and even their own Elvish ancestry. Having said this, it's warming to read that many Elves hold Men akin to them, and as equals. Take note of ATHRABETH FINROD AH ANDRETH' from the 'HoM-e' series. As for your 'revelation'? Well, we'll just let that one quietly slip by, shall we?

yay!! It's Gildor! I like how you did the fire! The colors are amazing, keep up the great work!!Thanks a lot, I'll try my best

Oh i love this pic! It's soo cute! Ditto on the fire and color man...Woohoo! (and gildor too! He offers some valuable advice to frodo...!)Indeed, he does. Thanks, again, for the great comment.

Yet another good part left out of the movies.I totally agree with this.

Only 1 thing I find wrong with the picture and I'm extremely sorry if you've heard this from others b/c I didn't read the other comments. It looks like Frodo is in the fire to me, I dunno if it's just the way I look at it, but I thought"AHHH WHAT'S HE DOING!?!!"
other than that, it's b-e-a-utiful!I have indeed heard this before, but I don't begrudge you the right to say it again. Thanks for the comment.

this is so great but one thing i noticed it's a bit like a picture by Alan Lee. not complaining its a compliment its really good.Thanks a lot. Alan Lee is an inspiration for me. I don't shy away from that fact.

I like the way you draw hobbits (Frodo is CUTE!) and the feet (though I can only s a bit of them, are perfect. I didn'y think they got the feet right in the films, and it was a bit disappointing, seeing as I read the books first. I'm rambling again aren't I? Anyhoos, *claps*

Woooohooo! This part in the book was fascinating and I'm disapointed how they skipped that in the movies (along with countless other stuff). You excite me with your artwork. I like the feeling in this.

hate to say it, but ditto to the whole Alan Lee-likeness - it’s a good representation of the original watercolour, though - you captured the glowing heat of the fire well, and the expressions are also well done!

wow, i love this picture! the elf is drawn wonderfully, and don’t take this like an insult, I just feel they should have some leggings on. After all, they are travelling. Don’t take that personally or anything, cause i adore this picture. Keep up the amazing work!
