Tolkien once again dropping the sickest shit

[ach-sss-no]

#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?!?!

2nd

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

[blueboxbeagle]

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.

[beardedmrbean]

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

[system-a-naturae]

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).

[geekgirles]

Me:

[cocogum]

Well guys...

LET'S GO AGAIN

[gnomgnomovich]

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!

[gnomgnomovich]

I almost missed the chance to make a mini-greeting for February 14th :D I didn't have much time, but I managed to draw something.

Love from Joris to everyone!

[oko-buri]

we are stonemen

[gnomgnomovich]

A little late, but Happy New Year everyone!

A quick, lazy picture with Joris (whose birthday, by the way, was yesterday!) I got sick, so I didn't have the energy to finish it properly… Let's hope 2026 will be a normal year.

[contact-guy]

Did you know that JRR Tolkien wrote an unpublished epilogue to Lord of the Rings? It's achingly, beautifully wistful in the way that only Lord of the Rings is. I revisited it recently because I'm guesting on my friends' LOTR podcast, and THAT reminded me that I drew a comic of the epilogue back in 2021 (all text is entirely canon). Anyway I thought folks on this website might enjoy it!
