Bilbo Baggins doesn't know it yet, but as he gazes across his beloved Hobbiton and breathes the chill morning air, his life is about to change. Drastically.
An adventurous spirit is not a quality prized among Hobbit folk, so the formerly respectable Bilbo’s sudden departure comes as much as a surprise to him as it is to his neighbours. He blames it on the Tookish blood in his veins. That side of the family was always the most odd and taken to unhobbity impulses of curiosity. And indeed Bilbo will come to count on every ounce of Took in him to save himself and his companions once the journey begins.
The moment has been expertly captured by Gus Hunter – long time Weta conceptual designer who started on The Lord Of The Rings trilogy alongside Jeremy Bennett and was an early adopter of the digital painting techniques Weta uses today.
