Moved by heavy cogs and levers, slats of painted wood pushed up from the floor and shot out from the sides of the stage, a dwarven gate suddenly appearing in front of the characters, and a mountain rose above them. Bulbs set into the slats twinkled to life, the mountain gleaming with light. 

Frerin gasped, eyes widening almost comically as he watched, and Thorin himself felt a thrill race up his spine at the sight. This really was the production of a lifetime. 

one of two illustrations commissioned by the great Mim for our @yubiwamonogatari​‘s Elbereth and the Seven Fathers, which is amazing, and you should go read if you like the Durin family and have good taste in fiction and also in life :3

– i want to know! why did you come back?

 – look, i know you doubt me, i know you always have. and you’re right, i often think of bag end. i miss my books. and my armchair. and my garden. see, that’s where i belong. that’s home. and that’s why i came back, cause you don’t have one. a home. it was taken from you. but i will help you take it back if i can.

Dis.  

I liked how the underpainting of my previous piece looked without the outlines so i decided to try and do a speed painting of sorts (this took about an hour) without using outlines.  Her hair is based off a photo I remember seeing once of some celebrity with a giant awesome mohawk/braid thing, but I honestly have no idea who it was 😛

It was fun, but I feel that I really enjoy the little things I add here and there with my outlines, so it’s probably not something I’ll do very often.

botfa thoughts: STUPID ELVES JUST TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS/do orcs have airplanes because moria and gundabad are not close to erebor but they get there so fast/”we live to fight another day” nope you die/ please explain ravenhill why does it exist why is its architecture so weird/okay so azog kills fili but thorin kills azog w/ legolas’s sword and legolas kills bolg but bolg kills kili/ one of the most painful things i’ve ever done is watching thorn realize that his death is inevitable

SO MUCH OF THIS = YES ABSOFUCKINLUTELY AGREED.
