Absolutely gorgeous! And your explanation was totally fascinating. I loved this so much!

*hugs*

Why, thank you, Rakshi, and welcome!

I'm just blown away. Your manips are amazing.

Frodoholic, thank you. And your icon shepherd (the Gayton) is doing the perfect pose for your comment. You are so droll!

With no offence for the artist, but I think that your manip is much better than the original painting.

You did wonder in manipulating Frodo, but Frodo's face is so perfect that it fits well in classic paintings.

Thanks a lot, dearest, hugs you!

Melyanna, thank you so much. I am hoping Girodet would not be offended, even though I sort of implied his proportions were off. I really do prefer it with Frodo in it. But, what's new in that? ;)

This is lovely! :)

Thank you, Ellin!

I agree with the comments above: your manip is much better than the original painting!:) It's beautiful, and pictures young Frodo fascinated by maps and strange lands wonderfully. Thank you!

Thank you, Bagma. I am glad you got to see this. I am truly pleased with it. It may be my last manip in while, too, so I am glad it's a "winner".
