Three is company: Sam, Pippin, Frodo (Patreon)

There's one thing I owe to the Peter Jackson movies: They made me appreciate that the Hobbits could look different. I grew up with the cartoony Bakshi version, of which I mercifully managed to forget almost everything, except that Sam's nose was as big as his feet, and that the other three were completely indistinguishable. Through my early years, I drew them accordingly. I still barely see them very differently when I read the book, but at least I can make an effort now! 

A Patreon-related note: It seems a new feature was rolled out to creators that allows us to see not just our patrons, but also our followers. I didn't even know you could follow Patreon Creators. And wow - literally hundreds of you have been following my stuff here! A welcome is in order, then! 

If any of you who have been enjoying my posts would consider joining my actual Patrons, that would be pretty cool. Just sayin'. Seems fair, right? =)
