Frodo’s face looks extremely similar to how I imagined
nope, not my Boromir 🙁 but a very nice piece of work!
If I could, I’d ask Howe why his boromirs (the ones we have, at least) are so different in appearance…
yeah, and why none of them look like ow *I* pictured im 🙁
howe: “I rememebr being incredibly disgruntled that I was not allowed to put a beard on Boromir”
Look at the birds hovering in the background. Its just perfect.
what’s with him and the beard anyway? Tolkien never says Boromir had a beard… okay, granted, I don’t think
he specifically said he *didn’t* have a beard… whatever, Frodo’s nice
figgy id love to know how you do picture borormir..
wow.. it’s a great picture, i myself can hardly draw a rose.
it’s a great pic. the faces have so many emotions.
I personally love this pic.
I like him better without a beard.
Frodo looks so young. It fits in with the hobbits seeming child like I spose
Wow. I love this pic. It’s wonderful… the expressions on their faces are awesome. 😀 Beautiful.
I finally understand what Tolkien meant by an “elvish beauty” in Frodo’s face…looks almost fairy-like.
Can anyone tell me where that quote is from that describes Frodo? The one mentioning ‘elvish beauty.’
theDWARF i got it from the book, the very end of TTT, when sam has taken the ring from frodo. page 716 of the
harper collins paperback one volume edition. any help?
excellent illustration. Boromir is a torn man.
mirfaen: cross Karl Urban with his long dark hair but minas the beard and moustache, with Chmiels Boromir (who
is in the Invited Artists Gallery), clean him up and make him look a bit older and voilà : that’s *my* Boromir
Thats exactly what popped into my heas when I saw this picture, Ancu. “Elvish Beauty”.
That’s *head*.
This is a beautiful picture, but I like Boromir better with a beard and moustache. I guess I said
that because I really like men with beards and mustaches.
This is how I imagine Boromir would look. Beardless seems a bit more steward-ish!
This is definitly one of the better Boromirs i have seen
I LOVE THIS PIC!!! I just found a new favorite Boromir!
I like how Boromir looks. Frodo is pretty… much like book desc. of being fair, elven, rosey, etc.
VERY nicely drawn! I love it!
Okay, one more comment: I *love* the drab colors and the birds circling in the background. There, done! :^)
What is wonderful about this picture is that the characters in the picture look like Boromir and Frodo without
looking like Sean Bean or Elijah Wood: this is merely John Howe’s impression of the characters. Don’t get me
That is o so perfect! (‘cept Frodo needs redder hair, i pictured him with redder hair)
Hmmm i think Broromir looks better with Sean Bean playing him! (manly because he’s better looking!)
^_^ my new background
It looks kinda like how i imagined it, but i do think boromir with the beard is better.
Frodo looks… Weird. Like he’s plotting. Boromir… I like it, but I prefer Sean Bean’s version.
Frodo looks rather shifty-eyed….
i love this! boromir looks rather creepy & un-trustworthy here and frodo looks like he knows it.
i agree
frodo’s hir is really…off. i don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s weird.
Hmm.. Frodo looks more like Sam just waking up on a bad morning… nice pic though! Coolio coloring! ^_^
hmmm…boromir looks a bit like aragorn…
This is a great one of Boromir! The picture is really intriguing. Once again Howe doesn’t disapoint!
Frodo looks a little too Peter-Panish for my taste though
Thats how I imagined Boromir:)
I like that painting alot, captures the characters essence.
Frodo looks different…but nice…
dont like that boromir that much…
I’ve seen Frodo’s head in the small box on the left of the screen, and I always thought that it was while he
was travelling to Rivendell after Weathertop. Ooops!
uhm… Is it only me… Or is Boromir a little… Angry?
No, he looks angry to me, too, TheElfofDk. Very nice picture of both, although not quite how I imagined them.
This Boromir looks different than the other picture when he died. I look Frodo’s expression though.
*Like, sorry that bugged me
It looks to me like Frodo’s got a wig on; he needs sideburns of some sort to keep it from being a fluffy hat.
It looks like a fight is about to break out. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!!
Boromir’s hand looks funny to me, like it’s coming out of his stomach.
this is very nice .. i prefer Boromir without beard .. 🙂 and Frodo, he’s so .. yeah “elvish beauty” .. 😉
I like the background on this-I know there’s not much there, but it fits well.
Well, it’s a lot better than the one in the Bshkir version…
Boromir looks cool… Frodo looks kinda mad… I didn’t like the Bakshi version of Boromir. Pants are a must.
Nice picture, but Frodo looks really weird, not like a hobbit I imagined. I like Boromir, though!
I LOVE Boromir in this pic a very strong and powerfull expression… The face of Frodo is a little wierd but
i still thinks the way of making boromir is awesome… so very great..my respect to Howe
I love the colours… the sky and such reminds me where I live. I love how frodo is portrayed.
Niiice! Boromir looks a bit old, though
This is kind of how I imagined Frodo…although I never actually properly imagined him…
frodo looks weird for me..but boromir is great.
Very nice! But alas! Nothing can replace Sean Bean’s face. Howe’s work is superb.
……Who else thinks Boromir looks a bit like Kwazzy Moto in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame?
facial wise i mean
It’s spelled Quasimodo TPAM. 😉
very cool picture but frodo looks way to evil
is that the seen were boromir tries to take the ring from frodo?
I love how howe’s frodo is young looking, i love alan lee but he makes frodo too old.
Frodo looks like a kid and way too elvish for my taste, nice backround though
Wow I like it. Looks like Frodo and Boromir aren’t too fond of eachother at that particular moment…
Boromir’s cool.
great frodo!
thats a SWEET boromir but i dont like frodo
his face somehow fits his fate, so it seems to me…
frodo seems angry… or something
Boromir is before all very proud an that’s really expressed in this pic I think.
NOT really, I mean, apologies.
This is a great piece. Well done!
Hmm Frodo looks angsty and Boromir looks like a Boromir with that strong temptation going on through his mind
and also with that fog… mist … birds = catharsis= I heart this pic!
I think Boromir is perfect in this.
Not my Boromir I’m afraid and Frodo is less ‘boyish’ for me, but its a nice picture
I like Boromir w/o a beard, but Frodo looks…strange.
Ooh I like the Bortomir, not so sure aout the Frodo tho…
I really do like the faces… but i feel like the cloaks are a bit… muffling.
I think the drab colors are because Frodo is running away from Boromir with the Ring on. Boromir looks like he
is coming to the part where he yells “Curse you! And all the Halflings!” as Frodo runs away up Amon Hen.
Well, that’s my interpretation.
I don’t like this Frodo at all
but he is so….. cute….
I like this Frodo a lot better than the movie’s version.
wow frodo sure has a pointy chin! but boromir looks mean as always
Frodo looks like someone from an old Narnia movie…can’t place him…man what happened? A big fight? hm…
Like a fair few other commenters, I prefer Howe’s Boromir beardless. He looks so… intense here, I love it!
I miss the beard…XD
