Fire & Water

After a long time, another finished illustration from J.R.R. Tolkien's books. I experimented a bit with the composition. I wanted to achieve a dramatic moment and contrast between water and fire. But at the same time I tried to capture the atmosphere and lore of the book.

Bard the Bowman is depicted as a true archer captain (not as a smuggler), and there is also an old thrush. I was inspired by Tolkien's original illustrations of Lake town. The Big Dipper constellation is also shown here, because at the beginning of this chapter it is written that a few people from Lake Town were walking around and looking at the stars (typical of Tolkien...😊), as they liked, shortly before the dragon arrived. The highest star of this constellation also symbolically points to the dragon's weakness.

The Big Dipper constellation is mentioned a few chapters earlier, when Bilbo was traveling with raft-elves along the Forest River towards the Long Lake...

I started painting this illustration about a year ago, but... for a long time I didn't make any progress because I didn't know how to continue. Long expected-illustration!😅

This illustration is painted with acrylic paints on paper in size 210x297mm.
