The 2 areas that really stick out to me in this piece are his eyelashes and the cut on the bridge of his nose. The cut just seems like its an actual open wound, as small as it may be. And there's hardly any work put into it compared to the other areas, but in all its simplicity, it does feel like I could take a pair of tweezers and pull back the skin. :) The amount of individual hair lines just astounds me. I've said it before, but I wouldn't have the patience to do hair in the way that you do. Its a very commendable & praiseworthy talent you have. At first I was going to ask about the blank white background, cuz I dont remember from the movie (this is when the Eagle is carrying him, right?) but on second thought, the blank white background really works in its favor. Any other Thorin plans? :)

Oh, you have no idea how much time I spent on drawing his eyelashes :D I don't know why, but I really wanted to capture them. As for the cut - it was soooo hard. I didn't knew what I was doing most of the time, just tried my best. You know, I struggeled with the background. I usually do the background as it is on the reference photo and in this case I should've drawn rock (you're completely right, it's after the Eagles). I felt like withe background would be more suitable. As his lost.. I don't know :D I can't explain it but I'm glad you like it :huggle:

Well, your time on the eyelashes was definitely well spent. :) And also on the cut, I was surprised to read that it took so much of out of you, because it looks great!
