Inktobers #4 & #5: I was getting ready to start another expression meme dwarrowdam from @determamfidd‘s Sansuhk when I realized I hadn’t already designed her, so here is some concept stuff for Kara (that Ashkar ended up happening on as well)
*shallow breathing*
OH MY GOOD GRAVY HELP
THIS IS AMAZING – I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM
I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM
I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM
yessss the bright colours and intricate patterns! The headscarves, the nose chain, THAT BLUE-BEADED BEARD! *explodes*
Squiddie! Squiddie oh my goDDD I am totally gasping, these are amazing, these are more gorgeous and more them than I ever could have imagined, better than I ever dreamed! YOU ARE BRILLIANT THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I’m finally getting back to the expression meme! Woot! Sorry this took so long, but goodness me, Gimris is fun to paint. Especially with this expression, like she’s watching the last of her fucks fly away….
*SCREECHES*
OH MY GOD SHE IS GLORIOUS – that expression! Is so SO GIMRIS I may just depart from my body from the sheer perfection, the sheer done-ness, the utter Gimrisness of her expression!!!
Her beard! Is MAGNIFICENT, as it should be, and holyyyy her lil ears and her bracelet and her jewelery and I love the way you do highlights on skin and hair aaaaaah!!! and those fab furry eyebrows! YES WHAT A DWARROWDAM, WHAT A BABE
*hugs squiddy* THANK YOU! Thank you so much, you are amazing! I am in awe of your work!
Playing around with some design ideas for @determamfidd‘s beautiful Narvi.
I think you can all guess what she’s watching in the second sketch.
oh
OH
OHHHHHHH MY GOD
I’m having some sort of internal somersault, oh MY GOD
this is incredible!! SHE is incredible – YOU are incredible! good god, that detail, it is utterly exquisite, I AM FLOORED HERE. Her braids are UNF, her glorious arms (oh god YUM YES OKAY) and lasjhdfgkajs that beard, her eyes, bodyyy haaiiirrrrr – and then the second picture, yes please take my heart, just… look, here *shoves it at you and lies on the floor face-down*
Soooo, it is late (SORRY)! But this is for @gigolasweek day 3: Languages. Yes, I am singing both Legolas and Gimli, it is super confusing. I have put the translation under the cut!
Gimli is Bold Legolas is italic
Words both in Neo-Khuzdul and in Sindarin, bc I am a glutton for punishment.
There are a million and one reasons why you should listen to this.
One, Dets is a damn talented singer holy crap.
Two, DO YOU HEAR THOSE OHssss? Oh my god wow.
Three, the music playing in the background is very catchy.
Four, LISTEN TO HOW SHE SWITCHES BETWEEN SINDARIN AND KHUZDÛL LIKE IT’S NOTHING.
Five, it’s really, really funny.
So so great
*gasps and clutches chest* ahh you are SO NICE i will EAT MY ENTIRE DESK – thank you so much, Pop! I am so thrilled you liked it!!
Other than being perfection set to music, another reason to listen is that this song is meant to be sung on roller-skates. Picture it. Picture them dancing on roller-skates while Aragorn sits in a corner smoking his pipe and trying not to be a third wheel.
Meanwhile somewhere in Mahal’s halls Oin and Balin are having aneurysms over an elf singing in Khuzdul.
HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND THIS AND I AM DYING YOU ARE AMAAAAZING
(Gimli is def Ginger in this scenario… which makes Legolas Fred. hahahahahaha)
I love everything about this, I can’t BELIEVE you made my funny little filk into a pic, I love you forever! And what a pic…!!! Gimli’s beard, unf, I wanna bury my face in it (UNF) and their expressions, and their poses, and AUGH their COLOURS AND the BODY TYPES I JUST *explodes*
The whole Aragorn-being-a-third-wheel joke just gained a level of puntastic punnery that I cannot even compass, it is too glorious to comprehend
Thank you, @squidspawn! Thank you sososososososo MUCH!
And now my brain is mush. Thank you @determamfidd, I’m so glad you like it!
And thank you for mushing gigolas into all my favorite things from classic movie-musicals to Discworld; you are pure amazingness!
If Aragorn is Gene Kelly does that mean Boromir is Donald O’Connor? Oh Moses Supposes, that would be pretty fantastic.
holy hannah you are also ADORABLE AS ALL GET OUT TOO, eeeeeee!
Yaaaaas, Boromir as Donald O’Connor, AHHHH PERFECT. *hugs and hugs*
