I'm not entirely happy with this, but then I'm not really willing to put in thousands if lights to make the city look really real. Yup, I'm lazy...which part of Hobbit didn't you get? (LOL!) On a solemn note I wish to state that's Hobbits are a industrious and hard working people!
Even without the highlights of the city here. This is still a great render. Maybe let it go for now and pick it up again later here. Would love to see the full rendered effect here. But none the less very well done! I'll give a nine as well here. :)
I agree with your statement about the lighting...all those lights must take a lot of time. I also agree about hobbits; I first read Tolkien in the 6th grade.
The wrinkles on the leg are well placed...the underlighting on Her face is first-rate...as well as the cape.
This picture shows a lot of work put into it...gotta give it a '9'
