Hi, I'm currently designing a few custom (fan) cards for use in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. I think this is a really nice image (and I'd love to use a slightly modified (to make it fit) version of it on one of the cards. Would that be OK?

Obviously I'd give you full credit and provide a link back to this webpage in the accompanying text.

As a side note - thankyou for being a rarity on Deviant, in that you paint Tolkien's characters as you understand them from the books. Browsing Tolkien-inspired art here has been a not entirely pleasant surprise!

Heh, cool. I Love these two.

They look a little like the Fili and Kili from the Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit.

Wow.....this is the first canonical bit of art I've seen regarding those two. Nice job!

I like this really much! While I was reading The Hobbit, in my mind they looked nearly exactly like your drawing. Fili and Kili in the movie were serious surprise to me, but not bad at all...Actually I love them, but classical Tolkien version is very nice to see I admire your style!

The Hobbit movie - I could forgive the changes in the plot, I could forgive the way they extended it way too much.... But I couldn't forgive the fact that Fili and Kili (and most of the other dwarfs) had pathetic beards.

Well done!

This is what I wanted to see in te movie! Fili and Kili (PJ's version) are adorable but... they're supposed to look like this.

YES! Fili's nose is big, as in the book!
And they are bearded! And blonde!
And they have blue hoods!
Peter Jackson - you rich bastard, why didn't you make them look like this?!

Bah! When you type ''Fili and Kili'' in DA search, this picture is pretty low on the list!
And it's a darn shame because this is an excellent and original picture, and everything before it are only copy/paste drawings of the movie versions of Fili and Kili...
This pic should be one of the first in the search results!

I love this so much! it's very well done, and I'm glad they are both blonde. This is the first drawing I've seen where they didn't look like the actors from the movie. It's a nice change.

Thank you for your effort to show that dwarves could look quite differently than how they are shown in the movie.

Babylon2260 [2012-12-29 00:43:25 +0000 UTC]

This is how I've always envisioned Fili and Kili. Both blond-haired, full-bearded, and in matching blue hooded cloaks. Nicely done!
