The Emyn Muil

Description

"The hobbits stood now on the brink of a tall cliff, bare and bleak, its feet wrapped in mist; and behind them rose the broken highlands crowned with drifting cloud. A chill wind blew from the East. Night was gathering over the shapeless lands before them; the sickly green of them was fading to a sullen brown. Far away to the right the Anduin, that had gleamed fitfully in sun-breaks during the day, was now hidden in shadow. But their eyes did not look beyond the River, back to Gondor, to their friends, to the lands of Men. South and East they stared to where, at the edge of the oncoming night, a dark line hung, like distant mountains of motionless smoke. Every now and again a tiny red gleam far away flickered upwards on the rim of earth and sky."

(c) J.R.R. Tolkien -- Excerpt from 'The Two Towers'

A LOTR fanart of Frodo and Sam crossing the Emyn Muil after the breaking of the fellowship. I wanted to show the focus and pain of the burden that the ring is on Frodo, as well as show the concern of Sam as he accompnies his friend. I dont know if my style can pull off a piece like this at this time. I dont know if I captured the tone enough. however, I am very happy with the end result overall. Let me know what I can do to improve.. C&C gratefully appreciated.
