I just found out that Tove Jansson did illustrations for The Hobbit back in 1960. Some more info and pictures:

Interesting that she drew Gollum as so large. The page above notes that Tolkien added a note about Gollum's size in later editions of the book because she wasn't the only one that did that.

Gollum is a Groke, confirmed.
