Psst Thorin Stonehelm is dark-eyed right?

He has dark blue eyes, actually! The Stonehelm is a blocky, burly, beefy, strapping sort of Dwarf. He’s what they had in mind when they coined the word ‘brawny’. His skin is light brown and his hair is black – both of which came from Thira’s side of the family. 

BUT, he has inherited the rusty-coloured beard of his fathers! It’s a bit startling to look upon, but many men (in our world, even) who have brown or even black hair on their heads grow rusty-brown or ginger beards. He normally keeps it bound in one braid from his chin, with silver clasps descending along its length in even intervals. (of course, he just chopped it all off, the duffer…)

He also inherited his blue eyes from his father’s line… though his are nowhere near the pale blue of the elder Durin line. His are far far darker, more a deep blue. 

you should totally check out poplitealqueen‘s awesome sketch of the Stonehelm here! It’s super close to how I see him now 🙂

Cute headcanon: you mentioned that Bomfris gave the Stonehelm a big deer as a courting present? Maybe Alris taught Bomfris a bit about tanning (useful for a hunter to know, more value added to sell a tanned skin, right?) and so as part of the gift Bomfris makes something out of some/all of the hide.

Oooh, that’s a good idea Nonnie! I bet Alris did teach her kids a thing or two about preserving hides… at least, I bet she taught them one or two tricks that other trappers and hunters don’t necessarily know, enough so that she could finish the job when they brought them home.

I had an irrepressible urge to draw Thorin Stonehelm (the way I imagined him in determamfidd’s Sansukh)… I liked the idea of him in blue but didn’t want
it to be the same kind of blue as Thorin Oakenshield’s so went for a
more green/grey-tinted blue. I really loved doing the details and armour etc! I so want to do this as cosplay now although I have no idea how to make armour 😛

(Poplitealqueen, I hope this cheers you up! 😀)

(face-tatts HELLS TO THE YES AHHHH)

Thinking about awkward Stonehelm/Bomfris newlywed shenanigans gives me life,

ohgod so awkward, all the awkward, awkward-limit exceeded, overload imminent. 😀

Just him seated at the dinner all, ‘right, she’s your wife, you know wife wife ahhh you know her, she loves you, she loves you, it’s all fine it’s all wife, oh my Maker say something wife say something smooth, you dulled axe, say something nice, say something WIFE.’  

“Uh.. so I liked your. Um. Today. Dress.” 

YOU IDIOT, WHAT A KING OF PRIZE FOOLS YOU MAKE, his brain hollers. And he turns red.

She’d scowl, because hate dresses, hate them SO MUCH, but at the same time he’s all big-eyed and pretty and HER HUSBAND and Mahal help her did she really trip on this thing when he went to kiss her in front of everyone. She faceplanted into his chest. Just. So much embarrassment. SO much. Ended up yelling at the stupid dress. Ended up yelling at Gloin (who was officiating). Hid for half the reception behind the food-tables with Tuac (what? She was starving. The cheese rolls were really really good?)

Tiny embarrassed smiles shared between them.

“You have crumbs all down your front,” he would say, very gently.

“You’ve got my makeup on yours,” she’d retort. “Dumb dress.”

“Dumb dress,” he would hasten to agree, and then he’d fumble for her hand. And turn to her, all forced-casualness. “Want to get rid of it, then?”

“No wonder you’re King,” she’d say, grinning. Because what a line. What a goof. What a dumb, lovely goof: her high-born royal dork of a husband. “Let’s get out of here.”
