The Sumiciu is a peculiar house-spirit from Asturias. These ravenous creatures are often blamed for the disappearance of household items and are known to swallow and disappear whatever they get their hands on. With an all-consuming void for a mouth they eat and eat and are never sated. Their true, ghostly form remains a mystery as they are never seen by mortal eyes.

The Lord of the Rings J R R Tolkien Illustrations by Ingahild Grathmer, drawn by Eric Fraser.

London The Folio Society 1977 /90

This binding features the “Seven (Silver) Rings for the Dwarf-lords”, within “Three (Gold) Rings for the Elven-kings”, surrounded by “Nine (Red) Rings for Mortal Men”, encompassed by the “One Ring” (Gold) “to rule them all”. Wonderful symbology, and beautiful execution to form the gilt design for the front boards of each book. Top edges of the pages stained in a dark ‘blood red’ color.

Drawing is fun

[nattousan]

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)
