The Hobbit

One of my favorite stories and some of my favorite movies. :)

something a little different than usual.

Aragorn studies

I was painting some LOTR fanart of Éowyn and the Witch-King of Angmar for fun when my brain drifted off and my pen slipped... Yes, that's a little Mouth of Sauron being shushed by Sauron on the steps over there, and yes, the Witch-King is chilling with Théoden and Denethor now. Additional notes and the different versions of Gríma's hair that I was considering under the cut!

Note #1: Something called to me to title this A Court of Towers and Rings although I haven’t actually read ACOTAR (yet?!) nor know much beyond “romantasy,” “fae” and “Tamlin” (but I’m curious to learn more, I think!? My TBR is bit of a mess tbh!) so I apologize if this is sacrilegious in some way… (⸝⸝> ω <⸝⸝)

Note #2: I went through several iterations of Gríma’s hair. At first, I aimed for a shorter hairstyle (Version #1) but it felt too different from the movie version (although I’m going for a blend between that, the book descriptions and my own chaotic energy for these, hence black-haired Faramir with a flower ornament!) In the end, I picked the more ‘slick’ option (see above). It felt more oily and 'snake-like.’ However, I kind of like the curlier option too (Version #3)… Let’s say it’s how it ‘naturally’ looks before he works his magic...?

Note #3: The book Faramir is holding is a parody of “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck called “Of Knights and Businessmen” that I was going to use as the title of a future issue of Court Comicals… but idk if I’ll ever continue that comic of mine at this point so I thought it would be fitting to use here! (You can probably tell parodying book titles is kind of a thing around here!)

Our Chinese readers like this painting the most. There are many problems with it now, but I was very happy when I drew it. I think Bilbo looks the most serious one in the team.

[apazwtsn]

modern au in which bilbo likes wearing old/vintage clothes... and thorin feels ashamed of the fact that he likes them so he pretends he hates them

4. Later, he used to crawl out of the great gate and come by night to Dale, and carry away people, especially maidens, to eat, until Dale was ruined, and all the people dead or gone. 5. Off they went, not waiting for trays, balancing columns of plates, each with a bottle on the top, with one hand, while the hobbit ran after them almost squeaking with fright: “please be careful!” and “please, don’t trouble! I can manage.”
