It's ten-year redraw time!

I'm actually doing two redraws this year, because ironically, ten years ago I was in another Lord of the Rings spiral, and I have several pieces I wanted to revisit. First up is this unfinished piece, which wasn't even all that good by 2013 standards:

The redraw:

"Merry and Pippin in the middle boat were ill at ease, for Boromir sat muttering to himself, sometimes biting his nails, as if some restlessness or doubt consumed him, sometimes seizing a paddle and driving the boat close behind Aragorn's. Then Pippin, who sat in the bow looking back, caught a queer gleam in his eye, as he peered forward gazing at Frodo." -The Fellowship of the Ring

Redrawing this piece reminded me of the stint in high school where I drew Dom and Billy so much that I had a shorthand for their faces, just like now I have a shorthand for Sean's face after this ridiculous year.
