Dear Dets: has it occurred to you that at some point, Laerophen and Gimizh are going to end up related? (like nephew and uncle in law or something, idk, the point is that if the words “Uncle Laerophen” are uttered in this fic, I will die (happy) of feels. (Bonus points for Uncle Laindawar being confused as hell).

AWWWW UNCLE LAEROPHEN. I think Laerophen himself might just explode with joy, myself! Laindawar will likely be all “…wut. NO.” Gimizh, of course, would continue with unabated enthusiasm. 

Yes, I’ve thought on it once or twice! In fact, thanks to the enormity of Gimli’s family, there are very few members of the Ereborean cast that will not be related-by-marriage to Laerophen. 

Imagine Dwalin’s face. Just imagine it. Heheheheheheh.

(And now imagine Dwalin realising that, logically, he is now related to Thranduil. )

😀

I haven’t drawn dwarves for aaaggeess but I was determined to have at least something lotr/hobbit related to sell at Tracon so I whipped this out super quickly! (as if I ever spend time on anything *snort*)

What do all of Dwalin and Orla ‘ s kids look like? Do they take more after their mother or their fathe? (And thank you for making such great and believeable OCs)

Hey Nonnie! Ahh, thank you so so much!

Ahhh, okay – bear in mind that this is how I see ‘em. Even though I came up with ‘em, others might see them differently, and that’s awesome 🙂

Wee Thorin Dwalinul

He is tall and stout-legged and blocky, as children go. His skin is dark, though not as dark as his mother’s, and he has a short shock of tufty hair in the centre of his hairline that is forever threatening to turn into a mohawk. (I love the idea of his hair being braided into rows at the sides of his head: as in lacefedora‘s awesome pic of him!) His beard and moustache have already started to grow in, and he has thick, expressive eyebrows. His eyes are large and a deep, warm brown (all the better to roll at Gimizh’s antics). He is very eager to get tattoos like both his parents, and draws on practice-tattoos in both red and blue ink whenever he can. He has very big hands
 sliiiiiightly too big for his frame, like the paws of a puppy that will grow up to be a massive dog. Wee Thorin will not end up the tallest of his brothers – but he will end up absolutely enormous. Basically, he is going to be built like a fridge 🙂

Balinith Dwalinul

He is also quite stocky, with a round-cheeked little face. He has his hair in dreadlocks, which he likes the texture of, and are a great physical stimulus. Now and then he wears glasses, though on many days he doesn’t want to, because the feel of them on his face really irritates. His skin is nearly the same shade as his older brother’s, though it has a slightly reddish tinge in the right light (a very attractive sort of colour). His sideburns are filling a little, and he is just about as tall as Gimizh already (who is in despair, because he is four years older than Balin, it’s not fair!). Balinith will one day be the shortest of the three brothers – but he will be the strongest, even stronger than massive Thorin or gangly Frerin.

Frerinith Dwalinul

Frerin is darker-skinned than either of his brothers, and is the most recognisably non-Longbeard. His hair is tightly curled against his head, with little wayward cowlicks at crown and hairline. His eyes are thick-lashed and impossibly huge, and he has a wide and ready grin. He always seems to be missing a tooth. Frerinith is, at this stage, a chubby-cheeked youngster with short little legs and a round toddler-tummy. Eventually he will be the tallest of them all, though he won’t have the bullish build of Wee Thorin. Instead, he will be a bit of a lanky stringbean, as Dwarves go!

Dori makes Mrs Weasley sweaters for his people. With their sigils instead of letters. Balinith’s are especially well-loved, as they are often patterned in his current interest. Dwalin’s often have a pattern of axes surrounding the sigils.

Oh nooooooo (yes yes yesssssssss)

AUGH I LOVE IT 

IT STINGSaaaaaaaaaah

(imagining Dwalin wearing his, all patterns and snuggly with a giant intimidating Dwarf inside, is giving me the giggles heheheheh)

The dwarf ladies are multiplyiiing XD  DwerĂ­s daughter of NerĂ­s, the badass warrior mother of Balin and Dwalin, as usual from determamfidd‘s fic SansĂ»kh. ❀ I don’t think she’s had a single line, but I totally love the story of how she met and ended up courting Fundin. (I sorta wanna draw that at some point XD -puts it on the never ending list-)

Considering that Balin and Dwalin look almost nothing alike, I headcanoned that they probably each took predominantly after one parent.  It should be pretty obvious which is which ;p (Though Balin got Dwerís’ deep brown eyes, while Dwalin got his father’s green.)  Dwalin also got his height from his mother- you’d better believe she’s taller than Fundin, though not quite as huge a height gap as their children. xD

-forever basks in my love of dwarf ladies-

OH MY GOD

Yes yes, a thousand times yesssssssssssss!!! I’ve always seen Fundin as more of a scholarly type, rather like a lawyer, and Dweris as the kind of person who throws themself into perfecting their martial arts! AND YAAAS SHE IS TOTALLY TALLER THAN FLUFFY CHUBBSTER FUNDIN. I love eeeeet holy shit. ❀

Her eyes! SCARS YUS OH WOW – and her tattoos! The haaaaaaaaaaaair *dies the death of fab Dwarrowdam hair* THE little mohawk and gaaaaaaah the bead on her ear and UNF she is so gorgeous, Avi! I love her lips, and her lovely dwarfy nose – you are a star, thank you so so mUCH!
