3. “Good Morning!” said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat. “What do you mean?” he said.

#why does everyone sleep on tolkiens paintings and drawings#they slay so much

I don't know! Every time I see his work I go 'that's rad, I've never seen that before. Why have I never seen that berore???' Here's a (no doubt incomplete) gallery of his work on Tolkien Gateway

https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Category:Images_by_J.R.R._Tolkien

It contains a lot of great stuff, a lot of art I've never seen and I don't know why I've never seen it, and also some art I've seen but never knew was by Tolkien, such as this book cover

Look!!!!

Trolls!!!!!

The Three Trolls are turned to Stone!!!!

Look!

SMAUG!!!!

[general-illyrin]

Wait, we have a drawing from the author of what Dunharrow looks like?!

And an aerial view of Helm's Deep?!

And another view!

We have images of Nargothrond?!?!

These are so helpful for even getting an inkling of an idea of what these places looked like!

My family has a copy of The Hobbit with that Smaug painting on the cover, I didn’t know Tolkien himself drew it, that’s awesome.

There's recordings of him singing some of the songs he wrote for the books too.

I genuinely think people don't know about them, I've never seen an edition that actually included anything other than the maps and the special text bits

[sweetcardamom]

Some of these are in Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien, which I am so fortunate to have (found it years ago at used bookstore).

Smaug the dragon from the 1977 animated film The Hobbit.

I wonder if the new gen knows how big these memes were back then. They transcended language and culture, which was way harder back then.
