I've mentioned this before, but among my favourite images are Laima Eglïte's shimmering illustrations for the 1991 Latvian translation. Here's four to savour - Bilbo watches the sunset by the thrush's stone, Beorn's house, Lake-town arrival and here be spiders...#Tolkien,

This is Charles Darty, a Halfling Champion Fighter. I based a lot of him off of a similar idea to the Tooks from Tolkien, an oddball Halfling who wanted adventure not tea. He's a mercenary with a lot of luck so he's often called "Lucky charm Darty".
