This is a work commissioned for Inquest Magazine in 1999 in an article on the movies. They had no references to images and actors were not cast, but they heard about the infamous "Xenarwen" idea of having Arwen in the Fellowship, so voila! Actually, the actors had been cast when this one was painted. The Bros. didn't have any photos of them in make-up and costume yet, but they had pictures of the actors themselves. Their Gandalf here is clearly McKellen-influenced. The Arwen looks like a fairly generic pretty girl to me, and I don't see much of Elijah Wood in that Frodo -- but his eyes are blue, and their previous Frodos generally had brown eyes. Here's one more Hildebrandt Tolkien pic, just to round things off. If this works properly, clicking on this small image should link to a bigger one (yes, I am testing the new board software):
