Saw the Hobbit the other day. I'm a big fan of the book and so was really
curious about the movie. Overall I thought it was very good. Visually it was
beautiful. I drew this doodle in early 2012. The pose is bad and the inking is
pretty awkward but a fun doodle nonetheless. It was drawn from memory so its
not exactly accurate (I don't think hobbits have pointed ears).

J.R.R. Tolkein was a Christian and though his writings are not a direct allegory
like C. S. Lewis it is loaded with Christian themes. One of them is that God is
glorified using small or weak things. So the Hobbit is a small humble creature
yet is the hero of the story. Jesus Christ came as a baby laid in an animal's
feed trough, from a poor family, despised and rejected, a man of sorrows and
acquainted with grief, and finally crucified. Yet the great plan of God to
restore a people to Himself was enacted this way. Christ's humility and
weakness in the world's eyes is our great victory and salvation. In this way
God is most glorified. He uses what is small and weak to show His great
wisdom and power.
