I blame you, @determamfidd, for the urge that wouldn’t let me go until I drew this. It’s been ages since I drew anything (mostly because I’m not that good at it), but I just started my new job and it’s slow at the moment because I’m waiting on other people having the time to meet with me to discuss the project I’m there for, and I had a pencil and a bloc of sticky notes.

Which resulted in this (image quality sucks, I’ll try to scan it tomorrow)

Also, I had a question: in chapter 31, it is said that Gimizh killed an Orc with his broken lamp – yet in the latest chapter he tells Gimli he killed a goblin. So what happened? 😛

Text: Gimizh Bofurul [did I get that right, Dets?] – The Terror of Erebor

Text: Other possible appellations include: 

– Gimizh Cookie Thief

– Gimizh Lampswinger

– Gimizh Orcbrainer

Text: The lamp that slayed an orc

AHHHH @stereden! I LOVE HIS FRECKLES AND HIS LIL FACE AND HIS EYES AND HIS HAIR! you wizard you!!!!

yes, Gimizh Bofurul would be right!

Oh – Orcs and Goblins are the same thing in most sources- Tolkien used the words interchangeably (in the Hobbit, for instance, he uses ‘Goblin’ or ‘Hobgoblin’ and not Orc) but uses mostly ‘Orc’ in LOTR. I like the word ‘goblin’, myself, I think it is a fun word to say and write! Plus it has children’s-fairy-story connotations. So I had Gimizh use the word to make him feel more childish 🙂

ALSO YEAAAAAAAH I LOVE THAT LAMP, stick it on a plinth and enshrine it for future generations, THE LAMP THAT KILLED AN ORC! BONKED IT RIGHT ON THE BONCE!
