"I should like to save the Shire, if I could - though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them. But I don't feel like that now. I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again."

"I see no hope of it now. But I've got to do the best I can."

“Frodo undertook his quest out of love—to save the world he knew from disaster at his own expense, if he could"  - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

A tribute to Frodo Baggins in watercolors because my love for this character in infinite. "Bronwe athan Harthad” which translates as “Endurance beyond Hope” was a name given to Frodo by Gandalf in an earlier version of LotR.  I sort of kept the same design for him as last time since I rather like it. Also sometimes (most times) I draw hobbits as tiny little babies because it’s what they are and you can’t convince me otherwise.
