I figured, now that I'm finally developing a proper style of my own, that it was time I gave a try at what any fan of the trilogy who is an artist should do at some point. Here is my fanart sketch of Frodo Baggins.
While I admit to using movie pics as references, that's all they were, references. Mainly for the hair and cloak pin - I'm horrible at curly hair. This is meant more as a portrayal of my mental image of the character, from reading the books, though admittedly that mental image got skewed some by the movies.
Eventually, I intend to turn this into a digital painting, and do the rest of the fellowship (as well as a few other main characters - such as Elrond, Eowyn, Arwen, you get the idea).
Done in GIMP with my tablet, took approx an hour-1.5 hours.
