Well well well what do we have here? A thorin post? It cannot be!

Thank you @pilkypills for suggesting this idea!

Thranduil holds his little leaf gently every time Legolas calls him Ada instead of Adar and you're not gonna change my mind.

This is so legendary Tolkien cannot help being hilarious he tries to be this serious dry narrator but I see you Mr. Stand up comedy

*Somewhere in a tavern in Middle Earth*

Thorin (plastered, sitting down heavily): I did it, just like you said! I walked up to Master Baggins, bit my lip suggestively and all he did was to look at me in disbelief and swiftly walk away! It is hopeless!

Fíli (equally shit-faced): Aww uncle, not good. Show me exactly what you did.

Thorin:

Fíli:

Thorin:

Fíli: Just a thought, but maybe try to bite your bottom lip next time?

Since Nori canonically wasn’t around much while Ori was growing up I really hope they got the chance to be brothers on the quest. I hope they annoyed the ever loving crap out of each other.

i’m thinking about that one post that talks about how the ring doesn’t make the wearer invisible, but actually enhances whatever the wearer’s natural strengths already are- it multiplied sauron’s powers of control and raw destruction, hobbits are naturally sneaky, etc. basically how the reason the story tells us it’s an invisibility ring is because bilbo is the one telling the story, and he just assumed his experience was universal. isildur didn’t go into the river invisible and uninjured, only to get shot when the ring abandoned him and he became a target again, he already had multiple arrows in him when he went into the water, but only succumbed to his injuries when the ring stopped magnifying his numenorean longevity and damage resistance.

so i’m thinking about hobbits, right? like yeah, they’re small and quiet on their feet and invisibility totally tracks for them, but what if that’s not their most impressive skill set?

i’m thinking about how all five of the hobbits whose stories we hear in full traveled enormous distances on foot with minimal difficulty. they all managed extreme altitudes, rough terrain, heavy snowfall, almost lava???, swamps, trees, jagged rocks and gravel, and just about every other possible terrain, not to mention hundreds of miles, without seeming to flag heavily or (genuinely) complain overmuch. despite being used to at least seven meals a day, they were able to keep up their pace on minimal rations, on foot, without losing stamina until the very end, which arguably had more to do with the ring than the trip itself.

my point being that hobbits are almost unnaturally good at traveling massive distances on (bare!)foot, and what if the ring picked up on that instead?

what if instead of going invisible, bilbo could teleport?

After Oropher dies, elrond and galadriel and others are waiting to see Thranduil and meet with him for things and they are dreading it bc Oropher is a character.

He’s a character that is hard to get along with because he does not let anyone tell him what to do.

And then they meet Thranduil and he’s literally one of the most calm and chill elves to have ever lived.

Oropher and Thranduil are total opposite in regards to temperaments and the other elves feel like it’s witch craft.

They don’t know that it’s because Thranduil, unlike Oropher, isn’t going to bother arguing with someone or announcing what he plans on doing. He’s gonna do what he’s gonna do, and you either find out after the fact, or not at all.

hi! sorry if i‘m bothering you, but i wanted to say i REALLY love your work. your colors, compositions, shading/rendering is absolutely gorgeous and i’m really really amazed by your work.

as a less experienced artist, i was curious if you could maybe show some of your process work? like how you get from sketch -> base color -> rendering? (if you even do that? or do you start with colors/shape?)

i‘m just curious what your drawing process looks like. sorry if this is a dumb question

Thank you so much!

Here are some of the processes I got, they reflect pretty well how I normally do it.
