Unless I miscounted, this is the **25th art post** I’ve made since I started! I’m pretty proud of myself. That is more art than I have posted in the past six years!

It’s getting easier to ‘ink’ using Photoshop. I’m really getting used to the tablet and pretty soon I may even try *gasp* drawing directly in Photoshop instead of drawing with pencil on paper and scanning it. I dunno.. I do like working off-line. I spend so much time on a computer it’s nice to step away from a screen.

Hi! A possible suggestion for Teeny Tiny: Bilbo giving Thorin an earful of hobbit sass. :-)

Hobbit sass is my favourite type of sass! I mean, Thorin’s a bit… well, Bilbo’s just so… cute? It’s hard to take him seriously when he gets all worked up like this! But because Thorin is a good king he tries his best to take Bilbo seriously.

And as it is Thursday which means I post sketches and unfinished work, here are some rough sketches of what that might look like! I’m hoping to do some more of these but finished and coloured.
*My favourite part was putting Thorin in a dress which was the only way to approximate his outfit! Haha! Bilbo’s foot fuzz is just lines.*

I choose you!** Yeah I’m not anywhere near done with the whole Pokémon/Hobbit thing! XD Sure, Thorin probably should have an Arcanine but he’s a very patient trainer and took his time finding the right pokémon to train up. I also imagine he was resistant to taking on a pokémon… he has so many other responsibilities and he might have been afraid he couldn’t give a pokémon the sort of attention it requires.
Finally, after the urging of friends and family, he gave in and he’s never been happier! Frankly, I think he picked a growlithe because it’s mohawk and loyalty and fierceness reminds him of Dwalin. XD
I tried out a new brush but I’m not 100% sure I’m digging it. I’ll try it out on a couple more pictures but I think I haven’t found my forever brush yet.Hm. I feel like the pokéball should’ve looked more dwarfish. Instead I drew it by referring to Pokémon Go. I feel like in Middle Earth they might not even have pokéballs! Oh well! next picture won’t have a pokéball in it!

Hobbit. Hockey. Okay, but hear me out. Instead of fighting battles with swords and stuff, the major players in Middle Earth settle scores with hockey!

Instead of fighting battles with swords and stuff, the major players in Middle Earth settle scores with hockey! Feanor and his sons (The Feanorean Furies???) were the first winners of the Simaril Cup but it was lost when they were defeated the next season by the Melkor Maia. (idk! I’ve just begun to scratch the surface of The Silmarillion!) They swore they’d get the cup back but, yeah, nope. Never happened.
Currently the biggest teams are:
The Erebor Ravens, Mirkwood Elks, Rivendell River Falls, and the Iron Hills War Boars. The cities of Men rarely rank in the Simaril Cup Playoffs and often the best referees are men!
Hobbits, alas, do not play ice hockey as it would require wearing ice skates but you should see them play field hockey. They play *dirty*.
EDIT: Eee! My friend @nlwart made a team banner for the Erebor Ravens! This is our first time collaborating on an art idea!
Pretty obviously this is pencil on paper. Not even a very special pencil except that it’s a pure black ninja pencil! Instead of using a pigment liner to ink this, I might dig out my old nibs/brushes, see if I have any inkwells that haven’t dried up and dig deep to remember how to ink without splattering myself. XD Oh yeah, because I used paper with a bit of tooth this nib experiment is likely going to be a bit splattery. Doh!

DWARVES DO NOT SMELL LIKE FLOWERS! WEED-EATING ELVES SMELL LIKE FLOWERS! Get that weed-eater pit scrubber away from Thorin! Just bring him a rock from the garden and he can take it from there!
**Bilbo:** Don’t you want to smell nice, Thorin?
**Thorin:** Never once in my life have I thought flowers smell ‘nice’.
**Bilbo:** Come on, now. This is the only bathing soap I have and you *must* use soap to get clean!
**Thorin:** How about I *eat* that rotted bar of flower compost and crap something nice for you to smell?
**Bilbo:** OH!! That DOES it. You’re not getting your clothes back until you properly scrub with soap!
**Thorin:** I WOULD RATHER MARCH NAKED THROUGH HOBBITON THAN SMELL OF FLOWERS!
**Bilbo:** THAT CAN BE ARRANGED, YOUR MAJESTY!
Ahem. So I’ve been on vacation and that means art! And… cussing. Apparently. Look, things get pretty heated around bath time. Some people want other people to smell like flowers. And other people would RATHER DIE FIRST!

Back to the basics. I’m still fairly new to digital art. I’ve been enjoying it but I’ve really missed the thrill of inking with a nib and ink. It’s been a bit of a re-learning curve. You can see the difference between the picture of young Thorin being a brat and older Thorin in the photo beneath it. It’s taken a few practice pictures but I’m finally starting to remember how to ink with nibs!

Holy crap. I wrote a novel about inking with nibs below the cut.

I mean, it wasn’t the *best* taunt but considering it was Thorin who had delivered it? A+ for the effort!
I feel like Thorin doesn’t understand how to taunt someone properly and always ends up sliding into deathly insult territory when he tries. So he doesn’t often try. It’s easier and less offensive to be stoic.
I am proud of myself for drawing Smaug-ball. That is what I call him in my head. I’ve been doing Inktober over on my non-fandom blog and I was inspired to doodle this pic up with Staedtler pigment liners. I have sizes 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 and I tend to make use of all sizes when I do larger works. This one was mostly done with a 0.3 sized pen.

Teeny Tiny Thorin

Today I don’t have a single sketch to update with because I’ve been pushing myself to try new art techniques and make yonkoma about Teeny Tiny Thorin. So far I have 11 strips planned and the first one will be posted next Tuesday! (It’s pretty much done but I’m futzing with the art, still.)

So what is a yonkoma? If you didn’t click the link to the wiki above I’ll tell you. It’s a four panel, vertically-aligned gag comic. I used to make these so I’m already familiar with the rhythm of thinking in four panels. It can be a bit of a challenge compared to regular comics!

Sort of like short story writing compared to novel writing.

I’m not strictly following the traditional Kishōtenketsu story structure because in a lot of these comics I’m mirroring the movie just with the twist/gag of Thorin being teeny-tiny.

I thought it might be interesting to post some of my progress and sketches today as it is Sketch Thursday? Warning, this gets long and there’s a lot of pics.
