The Grey Company sets out from Rivendell.

This is from last November! Inspiration kicked me in the face and I had to draw this scene of the Lads leaving the Last Homely House to go to their Doom... I am still completely obsessed with the way Lord of the Rings Online expanded upon what is only a footnote in the books, and took us on a journey of angst and heartbreak; so my plan is, as I replay the content, to illustrate every step and write a fic about my own character's involvement in it.

But yea. I cannot imagine the Grey Company without the Ranger NPCs from LOTRO anymore.. <: They are now canon and beloved to me. Here we have Lothrandir on tiny grey Mithul, Tirirandir (who is my character) on his borrowed horse Pîn, his best buddy Candaith on a liver chestnut I don't believe has a name (?) and Halbarad the gigachad with Arwen's banner.

I still have a love/hate relationship with the colours, but it's one of the better pieces of last year. 2024 in general was one of the better years in terms of personal art; I wholly attribute that to getting into drawing Tolkien fanart and discovering new communities!! After seven years of film school, I'm finally inspired and motivated again to create and share, and that's bliss to me!

Another Hot Rangers In Chains (And Other Situations) calendar entry! This time it’s Candaith, presumably captured by goblins and by the amount of ropes, he’s probably escaped a few times already…

I think this one is fitting for April… what do you say, @suchprettypieces

Also please excuse the somewhat lower quality, I forgot to use Glaze last time to protect my art and hopefully the art still looks good (and maybe won’t be flagged…. 🤞🏻)

me excitedly opening the volume III gift box thinking it may be a cosmetic outfit

"you have acquired statue of candaith"

"you have acquired portrait of the grey company"

and that's how lotro killed me in one fell swoop

Grey Company campfire time. They’re singing Ranger travel songs, with Braigiar on the tin whistle (one of the like 20 instruments he can play). Halros and Candaith are singing; Radanir is tone deaf, so he’s just listening. headcanon

Combined Situation suggestions from @a-lonely-dunedain and @whereisbarton

And also remembered why this wasn’t going to be rendered smh :<

[well-traveled]

I was exceptionally happy to see Candaith in this mission!!

[lotro-quest-objectives]

Give Candaith a hug (made up but it should be real)

If you're doing plinko picker requests, perhaps a Candaith? 👀

i wouldn't want to 1v1 prime ivar either

Am I mixing Inktober/Tolkientober/OC-tober based entirely on which prompt gives me any ideas in the moment? Irrelevant. Here's Day 1, which I did at like 11 last night so I need to hurry up and do Day 2 now (Prompt: "Mustache.")

Radanir is unamused. Candaith is ... being Candaith ^_^
