#Nori the Hobbit

[bagginshieldfamily]

Gandalf: What were you thinking!? Leaving the company alone at a moment like this?!

Bilbo: Oh, there is no excuse. I mistakenly assumed they could behave like actual adults this time.

The second coffee painting I ever did was of Nori the Dwarf. I loved painting the intricate hair, and the contrasting leather and suede of the clothes, but I had yet to find the method I now use with light and contrast.

I gifted the original painting to Jed Brophy, who played Nori in the hobbit trilogy. A year later, we met again at another convention, and ended up on the same plane from Sweden to London for the red carpet premiere of Battle of the Five Armies. Afterwards, I went straight to New Zealand for a few weeks of Hobbity goodness, and managed to run into him again by chance while in Wellington 😅

He sure seems to be a big Beecake fan, but who can blame him? 😂

I've always wondered, beyond the idea that Smaug doesn't know Bilbo's scent and therefore the hobbit can wander around the castle undisturbed "without being noticed", why Thorin's company needed a burglar if they already have Nori who is very expert in theft and burglary?

Thorin, addressing the company: And if you have any suggestions feel free to put them into the suggestion box.

Bilbo: But- that's just a trash can

Thorin: It sure is!

out of nowhere, some metalhead Dwalin and Nori! 🎸

[shurikthereject]

Yet another sketchbook spread, this time with more dwarves! Man its so sad that theyve decided to get rid of Dwalin's mohawk, he looks so cool with it! I really like this headcannon(?) dynamic between Nori and Dwalin in which he is a guard and constantly chases after Nori for his crimes so i sorta tried to incorporate that into the illustration. Balin was such a delight to draw, he wouldve LOVED gramophones.

Oh, it breaks my heart when I remember that these two died for a home they only heard about in stories that their mother and Uncle probably told them at night before bedtime or in class with Balin.

It was only their home for a few days, but they will be buried there forever.

The company: So what's for dinner?

Bombur: I can't tell you, it's a soup-prise!

The company: ...

Gloin: Is it soup?

Bombur: I soup-pose it could be! *winks*

Dwalin: Please, enough with the soup puns!

Bombur: Wow, you're soup-per mean

Thorin: STOP

*one hour later*

The company: It's fucking roast beef?!?!?!?

i love nori’s hair so much

My hot take:

Thorin doesn't swear (at least not in weastron). He manages to say much worse things with polite language.

Bilbo does swear, but only occasionally. He usually would say something like "drat", or "oh dear", so when he does say "fuck" in his very polite Hobbiton accent, everyone is horrified. "Who taught him that?" And fingers are pointed, while Bilbo is confused because he is 51. He knows "fuck".

Fili and Kili swear like sailors. Thorin is constantly telling them off and saying things like "I will tell your mother!" and "What would your mother think?" But even Thorin knows well enough that they learnt that carry on from Dis herself.

Dori and Nori told Bilbo the Khuzdûl swear words. This is very naughty for at least two reasons.

The Ri brothers are experts in the art:

Ori is a great writer and illustrator, Dori knows a lot about fashion and aesthetics, Nori is very expert in the art of theft!
