Hobo Chic. Maglor wandering MIddle-Earth steeped in melancholy and regret. Drawn for @minstrelmaglor. He cuts his hair with a knife. Sometimes kind folk donate clothing to him and he wears it but doesn’t look after it until, once again, he’s clothed in artful tatters.
The thing is? This hot-ass, kin-slaying, golden-voiced elf is from Valinor and he can make anything look good. He doesn’t mean to be so attractive and stylish, it just happens!
It’s just so exhausting. XD

Maglor–or anyone, really–dressing up as something adorably rediculous (and possibly adorably homemade) for Halloween? XD
The FIRST thing that leapt to mind was Maglor swapping clothes with a scarecrow for the night… Ol’ raggedy Maglor!
For @tolkiengenweek Day 3: Maglor & Maedhros (yes, again), this time with Elrond & Elros, having some fun in the forest. I love them so much. Ink drawing, colored digitally.
Maedhros & Maglor & a legitimate concern. Yes, more Silmarillion art!
Ink + watercolor.

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! 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!
I live in the dang US and everyone knows what English Breakfast means XD The SHITTY thing is when I ask for tea with milk. “A tea latte?” NO NOT A TEA LATTE YOU SUGAR-OBSESSED NINNY. HOT. TEA. WITH. MILK.
I FEEL YOUR TEA-PAIN TEA-BRETHREN! At least here milk/cream and sugar are a given! But you do have to ask for honey specifically if you prefer honey. SOMETIMES you can even get honey and lemon! Usually I only have honey and lemon at home.
First off, thank you to everyone who has liked or reblogged my art this year! I started in April and posted twice a week, every week, until sometime this fall! In 2017 I created more fanart than I had done in the ten years prior! So, thank you, for encouraging me to keep going.
I couldn’t possibly include all of the art I created this year in my summary so I picked twelve of my favourite, non-sketch Hobbit pieces (and it was hard to pick!):
01. Captain of the Erebor Ravens 02. thorin_dramatic_pose.psd 03. Bilbo of Erebor 04. Flower Crown 05. Treat or Treat! 06. Bilbo’s had enough of your nonsense 07. Grump 08. Mirkwood’s #1 Trainer 09. Teeny Tiny Thorin Comics 10. What if Hobbits were potato people? 11. Gifts from a Dwarven King 12. Train Them With Love
I’m not 100% sure what I’ll be doing for 2018 or in what fandom(s). The Hobbit was a lot of fun but my takes on the characters/subject matter didn’t seem to resonate with very many people. Or maybe there aren’t a lot of people who like AUs in The Hobbit fandom? (Considering 90% of what I create is AU… Haha Imma never stop!) Or… maybe I just need to up my art game which is totally valid! I found that after a few weeks of producing work I quickly settled into an ‘art rut’ that I never managed to break out of.
I’ll figure it out eventually but in the meantime I think I’ll be concentrating on learning new art techniques, experimenting more, and maybe posting less ‘finished’ works and more of my art struggles and sketches in 2018.
Thank you, again. I feel so accomplished and satisfied this year! I almost feel like I am a creative person, again.

How you doin’? More for that hockey AU verse I’ve been doodling in! Before Thranduil played hockey, his father made him take up the traditionally elven sport of figure skating. (It had been all the rage in Valinor! Hockey is strictly a Middle Earth game. Probably started by the Noldor.)
Maedhros and Maglor, trying to raise Elrond and Elros ‘correctly’ by elven standards had enrolled the twins in figure skating. If Fëanor had been alive, he would’ve benched both of their butts for not pushing the boys into hockey but, by that time, Maedhros and Maglor were sick to death of their father’s #hockeylife and his obsession with winning back the Simaril Cup the boys were spared. (At least, until Elros saw his first hockey game and begged them for months until they finally relented and let them play.)
Anyhow, Elros probably wanted out of figure skating because Elrond kept flirting outrageously with Thranduil, SILVER KING OF ICE, who at the time was an arrogant (sekritly shy af), enigmatic prince with an overbearing parent’s expectations to live up to off the ice and a ticking time bomb of unrealized eros on the ice!
Elrond always had liked puzzles. >:D
Like I needed an excuse or a backstory to draw elves ice dancing?!
Drawn with a regular HB pencil on scrap copy paper. Such ignoble materials to draw immortal future lords but, hey, I feel Elrond at least would appreciate the humbleness?
warsawmouse asked:
So many good ideas! I drew the first one that captured my imagination!
X marks the spot. I really liked the prompt for Flint strolling across a chart but because I’m lazy I drew him doing a stereotypical pirate map. I like to think he’s going through all of this effort to make a decoy map for idiots. It’s hard to tell but the paperweight is a rock with a fossil in it. It seemed like the sort of thing Flint might have hanging around.
I used a reference for his inkwell and quill!
I actually inherited an inkwell and a real feather quill! I simplified the inkwell for the sketch but thought you might like to see a photo of the one I used as reference.
