Just slapping some colour around. I’m not sure I’ll be able to get posts out this week because I’ve decided to tackle an ambitious painting! It’s for @mystrade-valentines, so it won’t get posted until February, but I’m starting early to make sure it is done on time.

Here’s a teeny little progress shot of a painting that appears in the background of my painting. Meta much?

The shot on the left is my initial flat colour. I’ve been finding it helpful when I begin a painting to lay down rough chunks of colour approximating the figures/layouts/clothes etc. It’s been helping me check proportions and because it’s just quickly slapped down colour I don’t feel married to it should I have to make big changes.

The shot on the right is just over half-way done. Honestly, a quarter of the painting will be covered up so I don’t know why I bothered painting the whole thing?

I’m using a screen cap for reference for the background and the figure is a combination of photos for reference.

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.

warsawmouse asked:

teeny-tiny ideas: ori & writing implements, fili, kili and/or kid!frodo vs. bilbo's sewing box, bombur + vase of punch/soup at elrond's (like the fountain scene), kid!elves vs thrandy's wine/hairbrush, teeny dwarves vs. tiny smaug in the hoard. for black sails: teeny flint strolling across a chart plotting ship's course, pocket silver. teeny thomas with actual!witch miranda (like the kitty verse but she shrunk him instead turning him into a kitten to smuggle him out), teeny teach.

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! 

image

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.
