Here is a lovely interpretation:


On the Steps of Mount Doom - Donato Giancola


His work is often not what most people think of when they think of Tolkien (tends to make his Gondorians look like ancient Romans), but this one of particularly beautiful.

I do wonder, though, why so many artists don't seem to understand what hobbit feet are supposed to look like. It's not as if Tolkien never described them!

That's a remarkably sensuous-looking Frodo, even injured. And he's very clean.

Yep. He does fantasy and science fiction illustrations. His colors are very vivid, and his people are mostly very beautiful. And clean, even in the battle scenes.
