"End? No, the journey doesn't end here."

Faramir, captain of Gondor, has showed his quality. And you can, too

Just a place for me to spew my thoughts as I reread some Tolkien. And reblog all sorts of posts too. My apologies for the inevitable grave-robbing of posts that are a decade old and more. Spoilers will not be tagged, these books are old enough as is

Not really a "ask", buuuut, I find your job FREAKING AMAZING, for real, I'm also an artist (a really lazy one, btw), and I love your trace! Keep going, aim for the stars! (Kay, I'll ask for it: Ungoliant and Melkor being cute, maybe? *-*)

Thank you! That’s so nice to hear, and I’ll try :>

..they don’t do cute very well ._.

my favorite thing about sauron is that it is impossible to draw him wrong

Hi! I came across your blog after following the trail of your wonderful Sitcomarillion comics (the tons of morbid hand puns won my heart, along with sassy Gurthang). I ADORE your Sauron though he looks more like a fox than a bat to me. The black-reddish hair, the tooth, and above all the hands and forearms that look like a fox's cute paws with their black 'gloves'... all those details make him utterly precious. Sorry, /murderously/ precious. *cuddles with your art*

Sorry, did I forget mentioning the ears? Because Sauron’s ears are so fucking precious. Make me want to ruffle his hair and pat his head (I’d die, but it’d be SO worth it, it all looks so flooffie :3 )

Aww thank you! I suppose fox is a good compromise between prince of cats and lord of werewolves.. I could go on about my design choices but I’ll spare yall. Instead, headpats

I think you have offically made me like sauron. Can you do sauron with a cookie, or a pet? Something so utterly adorable that you actually want him to be real? Please?

thank you :> I don’t think I can manage that cute but I tried
