Whoo! Art Marathon completed. I probably shouldn’t have done that but whatever I wanted to do this.
So, I wanted to do a little something for my Other Favorite Lord of the Rings fanfic–Comes Around Again by @scarletjedi. I think it’s no secret that I have a huge weakness for Time Travel fic, and this one does it so, so well. Gimli feels like a person transplanted from the future–he has that aura of badass he won so hard through the Quest.
And now he’s taking it on the quest for Erebor to change things and fuck up somemore bad guys. ‘Cause that’s what Gimli does. (And he’s married to Legolas, who also went back in time. It’s great. Read this fic.)
I’ve been trying to figure out something to draw of these two for an age now, and well….I saw this post of @determamfidd ‘s and I couldn’t help myself.
Sorry, not sorry I’m currently Lord of the Rings trash. Other things soon, I promise!
Hey brother There’s an endless road to rediscover. They tell me I’m too young to understand They say I’m caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don’t open up my eyes Well that is fine by me.
Hey sister Oh the water’s sweet, but blood is thicker So wake me up when it’s all over When I’m wiser and I’m older
All this time I was finding myself And I didn’t know I was lost. Oh, if the sky comes falling down For you, there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do I’ll try carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands
Another fanart inspired by the ever amazing fanfic Sansûkh.
So, I mentioned drawing Frerin and Thorin in that last fanart I did, right? Well, I heard this song and it turned into a whole siblings fest, whoops. I absolutely adore Frerin’s relationship with Thorin in this fic, hands down. Frerin’s my precious cinnabun baby and I just want to hold him until he’s happy.
Next up on my To-Do list…some charr for a friend, and some fanart of my all-time favorite Mass Effect fanfic!
OH MY GOD OH MY GOOD GRAVY OH MY HEART
this
is so BEAUTIFUL
the composition of each pic has such… a classical, balanced feel… I AM IN AWE OF THE WAY YOU GET THEM TO GLOW, and oh cripes, my heart is breaking again. Their faces – their proportions, the colours
thank you SO SO MUCH!! this is absolutely stupendous, what an amazing work, thank you SO much, thank you thank you thank you!
(AND THOSE SONG LYRICS TOO? FINAL STRAW THAT GOT ME A-BLUBBERING)
So, I recently wandered into Lord of the Rings fanfic and wound up reading the epic and amazingly well-written Sansûkh. I woke up this morning with the itch to draw something related to it, to show my appreciation for a fanfic that I found to wile away my hours during a low period.
This wasn’t at all what I meant to draw; in fact it was meant to be a facial practice piece! But then I colored it, and well… Maybe I’ll try and draw that piece of Frerin and Thorin at some point as well.
Anyway, thank you for this fic and for making me ship things I never expected to. (Lookin’ at you, Bagginshield, lookin’ at you.)
If any of you enjoy Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (whether Book or Movie) I cannot recommend this fic enough. The parts pertaining to Moria, in particular, really hit me hard.
oh my goodness this is SO BEAUTIFUL – you are incredible at lighting, also, he is so ethereal and seems to just glow, like mist on moonlit water or something, it’s absolutely gorgeous!!!
holy heck, ohhhh h h oh star watcher :’) my heart just went ker-flop, nngh that is so perfect!
I ADORE the writing, and the starlit background, and his EYES, and the texture of his hair here, and odfgljhglajhfdgaljfa just
(And as though this wasn’t already making me reel, you write a completely beautiful thing underneath…!)
Thank you, thank you THANK YOU SO SO much – I can’t say just how happy I am that you enjoyed it, and how much I LOVE THIS, THIS BEAUTIFUL PENSIVE STAR WATCHER THORIN
