Still may be my favorite Christmas song. <3

Just realized I never posted the decorative goblets I made for one of my sisters and her bf!

The first one is LOTR themed, with each side featuring a hand-painted illustration of different elven realms! The stem is based on the trees that became the sun and the moon in Middle Earth

The other goblet is Drogon from Game of Thrones!

These were my first real attempts at sculpting and, considering the fact that I also had to contend with a neurological disorder that causes me tremors, spasms, and losses of fine motor control, I’m pretty damn proud of myself!!

“I had thought you were going to enjoy the Shire, too, for years and years, after all you have done.” “So I thought too once. But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them. But you are my heir: all that I have and might have had I leave to you...Your hands and your wits will be needed everywhere. You will be Mayor, of course, as long as you want to be; and the most famous garneder in history; and you will read things out of the Red Book, and keep alive the memory of the age that is gone, so that people will remember the Great Danger and so love their beloved land all the more. And that will keep you as busy and as happy as anyone can be, as long as your part of the Story goes on.”

-Sam & Frodo in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, page 338

An update on the mural restoration, if anyone’s interested in that.

Where the color contrast is from the left is where it’s done. The light section next to it is where I’m about to work on. It turns out that I’m having to use the eyedropper tool and blend sections, then go over that with the clone brush to help bring the texture back. There’s some small parts where it’s gonna be obvious that I had to fix it no matter what I do, but adjustment layers will only get me so far. This psd file is already 1.29 GB, but I’m hoping as it gets merged together it shrinks a bit cause it takes a hot minute to save.
