Description
"Those were the stories that meant
something, even if you were to small
to understand why, but I think, Mr.
Frodo, I do understand...folks in those
stories had lots of chances of turning
back, only they didn't. They kept
going because they were holding onto
something..."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there is some good in this world,
Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
I think Sam is arguably the hero among
heros in the LOTR Trilogy. He certainly
captured my heart, as I know he has
for so many others. He exemplified
what true friendship is...staying even
when times get rough...when he was no
longer wanted...keeping his oath to the
covenant he made with Frodo from the
very begining of the first movie. In
a day and age where selfishness gains
more and more prominence, we need to see
more and more people like this, whether
it be in the movies or in real life!
The painting done with my wacom tablet
and PSP8 were the tools I used for this
piece. The referenced wallpaper is from
The Lord of The Rings website.
I am always grateful for the time that
you spend here! Thank you for stopping by...and
thank you for being the kind of friends I can count on everyday in my life! Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day!...Cheryl

This again is wonderful Cheryl.. One point the left eye as we look looks out to me..Maybe too much white or too big perhaps despite the fact he is looking across..It does not detract from the overall superb painting..

Wonderful work Cheryl!!He is one of my favorite characters! I loved how he and Gollum would argue. And he was a true friend to Froddo too. Excellent as always and you always manage to put a soul in your work.

Outstanding portrait, amazing depth and lighting! This character is the very definition of "a friend that sticks closer than a brother" from the Pslams!
