Have I ever shown you guys these weird late 80s Soviet Lord Of The Rings illustrations?

They were made by Sergei Iukhimov, who’s virtually unknown otherwise.

More from where that came from

Holy fuck this is absolutely perfect

I hated them as a kid, but I can appreciate them now.

Another (not so little) preview! Still a LOT to be done but it’s so nice to see it coming together!

Happy Wednesday y’all!

Day 7 to 13: The Seven Sons of Fëanor

“The seven sons of Fëanor were Maedhros the Tall; Maglor the Mighty Singer, whose voice was heard far over land and sea; Celegorm the Fair, and Caranthir the Dark; Curufin the Crafty, who inherited most his father’s skill of hand; and the youngest, Amrod and Amras, who were twin brothers, alike in mood and face.”

Caranthir - local emo realizes he’s in love, makes a facial expression other than scowling. Drawn for my wonderful friend’s birthday.

While talking with the Hobbits, Tom Bombadil puts on the One Ring. For a moment, all of the Nazgul burst into merry song. It is never discussed among them again.
