I love the top of the doorframe, but I think bilbo looks like ben franklin
apart from the hobbit, it’s a wonderfull picture.
Ben Franklin in a monk’s robe.
Good pic minus they Hobbit. Biblo DOES look like Ben Franklin!
Ben Franklin was a good man…….;)
yeah, but he was not a Hobbit was he? nice drawing though
I think this changes history. Ben Franklin was a Hobbit!
Who’s Benjamin Franklin?
Did I get the name right?
geez, he looks old….and odd…but its good!
… I am reminded of Jabba the Hutt. :B
i knew this was from Rivendell, Bilbo looks aged very old..
very good except he’s SUPER old, although that really fits. very good. I like it
Franklin was a president of the U.S., right?
Ben Franklin…….Bilbo Baggins……Ben Franklin…….Bilbo Baggins…..
Umm….seeing Jabba here….
Bilbo looks like my grandmother!!
Figwit, Franklin was a founding father, but never became president. 😉
Poor Bilbo! but remember, I reckon this was painted before the film so it wouldn’t look like Ian or anyone…
I knew hobbits were fat, but I thought they had short, curly hair… at least male ones…
Valar, it does look like Ben Franklin! Heeheehee…
i didn’t know ben franklin was a monk? lol.
I agree it looks like Bennie, but after he flew the kite in the storm and got struck a couple of times.
That was Ben, right? Anyway, Bilbo looks v. interesting, and I hope Ben never finds out we think he’s a Hobbit
…..he reminds me of Salieri from Amadeus (that movie about Mozart)
hmmmmm… he looks kinda like a monk… he’s kinda ALBINO too… maybe he’s Silas…
Salieri? AI! Not Bilbo! 🙂 I rather like this representation. Lee’s vision of Middle-earth is just to my taste
Ben Frankiln lived in Rivendell? Who knew?
News Flash: Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest American heroes, apparantly became a hobbit in his old age
and started wearing a monk’s robe, he is also a hero of Middle earth.
hee. Bilbo the aging hippy
wow!! Bilbo is very old.
Not so sure about Bilbo, but I love the rest of it…
“It seems my age has finally caught-up with me.” – Bilbo Baggins
Hm..lol. Looks a bit too 18th century though…
my history book:Benjamin Franklin was one of the greatest heroes. He was acutually a hobbit.
(the last sentence was added by me)
bilbo looks like a right old lump; he does!
Nice hair…
Valar! Bilbo is looking very old here….Almost like Benjamin Franklin. Almost, almost.
Looks like that chair is going to give way….
Bilbo looks to old if you ask me
Bilbo looks bit like YODA there, don’t he? 🙂
Ben Franklin was too a president! lol! And Celebrian, that’s exactly what I thought when I first saw this pic!
oops, nevermind. He WASN’T a president, lol
Bilbo was very sad when he found out the boat for everlasting life had just left and was never to return.
or he could just swim
Eh… he looks like a monk with long hair.
Woah…. this is way different than I imagined Bilbo. Errr……
I see an egg in a brown robe with a very nice background.
Now who in all of Arda said Bilbo could have MY room??!!!!
Just because I went vacationing in the Shire doesn’t mean he can have my quarters!!!!
…..ok…right…it looks like Bilbo got struck by lightning and had a couple thousand strokes
It looks slightly like Ben Franklin, but you know, I’m glad to see an imagination interpretation of Bilbo.
that chair DOES look like it’s going to give way! LOL
I like how Bilbo kind of looks less hobbity and more elvish now, what with the un-hobbitish long hair..
He also sort of looks like an old scholar type in the mould of Tolkien himself. Lee is a genious.
I love the background, it’s beautiful, but Bilbo doesn’t work so much for me I’m afraid
Except for Bilbo, wonderful it is.
I didn’t know Bilbo was a monk!
I didn’t know Bilbo was Ben Franklin
looks like a combo of ben franklin and danny devito in batman returns
That’s a different picture. Bilbo does look really old in this picture.
I’m not sure why but this pic scares me. it’s realy good.but it scare me.
The Ben Franklin comments are cracking me up!
He also looks just a little like Gregor Mendel (genetics)…kind of creepy.
alright, everyone, for the artist’s sake, i think it looks beautiful and stunning.
We love you, Bilbo!!! (:
I love the window and everything else, but there’s something about Bilbo that bugs me. But I still love you Bilbo! For I would have never discovered LotR without you and your foolish, epic trip to the Lonely Mountain!
