I tried to throw in a lot of characteristics that are common among Durins. Then I also gave him his mother’s eyes. I think he totally has Stonehelm’s Red beard and black hair.
Well clearly this is Mucha inspired Gigolas art. I have been working on this for AGES. And I think It’s the only piece I’ve ever done that I would consider selling as a print.
this is also the most work I’ve ever done on a background… in my life. (Glittering Caves for Gimli, foggy Fangorn for Legolas) I would love to break down every little piece of symbolism I’ve put into this but my computer is trying to crash as I type these words. Suffice it to say I’m really fucking happy with this and I hope you all like it.
This piece would not have been possible without poplitealqueen‘s encouragement and suggestions. Thank you Arsenic my dearest. (Special mentions of thanks to determamfidd for tattoo inspiration and for getting me to ship gigolas at all)
OMG This is so late. I’m having a lot of Trouble with my computer so I’m sorry if it’s sloppy. flamesburnonthemountainside I hope you like it though. I reworked my Thira design a bit because I loved fishfingersandscarves‘s Thira design so much today. I hope you don’t mind a hodgepodge of my old design and your new one fishy!
I think Thira just very calmly informed him that she’s going into labor and Dain’s freaking out.
aviva0017. You gave me too much free reign by only choosing a palette. I spent two and a half hours on this. (Thank you haha I really like how it turned out, I hope you do too Avi!)
I think I can now draw Dain’s nose in my sleep. (Thorin III Stonehelm’s physical description is inspired by Sansukh because Everything determamfidd writes turns into canon immediately after I read it.)
