Dan Nelson has started a series of Hobbit illustrations based on Tolkien's book, beginning with a character design of Bilbo Baggins and the opening scene of Gandalf's visit to Bag End. The illustrations feature Dan's characteristic use of warm colors and expressive linework, bringing a contemporary feel to the classic story. He's planning to expand this into a full set of illustrations from the book, demonstrating his approach to literary adaptation and fantasy storytelling.
