Mer-Bombur. Quick doodley-doo I couldn’t get out of my head. Mer-Bombur is half pearl-scaled goldfish!
Yeah. I dunno what I’m doing anymore either.

And you all probably thought I was bluffing!
Dwalin the goat-centaur looking all sexyfine. I mean, he probably doesn’t know he looks sexyfine. He’s just taking a break, watching Thorin take a bleating from his nephews. Ha!
Apparently, I still don’t know how to crop images properly in Procreate. I’ll figure it out eventually. Know how this image got here? I exported it as a jpg to my dropbox. I have a Zapier zap that looks for uploads to that specific dropbox folder then moves the file to my cloudinary account and tags it for this tumblr account. I have a second zap that looks for a certain tag in my cloudinary account then uses that image to draft a new post on tumblr! Then, when I have time to actually post, I just log into Tumblr and there’s a draft post with my image on it! Tadaaaa! Technology!
This Pretty Flower has Thorns. I love Max. I mean, I love nearly every character on Black Sails… but Max has the best costumes and just seems so tough and pragmatic yet knows how to yield and when to push to get what she wants.
Doodled on my iPad with Procreate. I’m getting the hang of using this but it would be nice if I had more time to practice.
Happy Birthday to me! In the fine Hobbity tradition, I drew a gift for someone else on my birthday! This is dedicated to my dear friend, @forestofstarlight, who got me into The Hobbit! I’ve been wanting to draw Thranduil draped in jewels and furs for her for ages!
In my mind, this is 100% Thorinduil.
I wanted to show a blending of elf and dwarf aesthetics. Thorin and Thranduil may be antagonistic grumpy assholes but I am in lurve with the idea that, despite all of that, they not only find each other aesthetically pleasing but that there is a deeper connection that no amount of screaming matches, stomping off in a huff, and prolonged sulks can erode.
I love the idea of Thranduil being Thorin’s muse; he goes back to jewellry making because he’s a perfectionist and he wants Thranduil to wear HIS designs. Thranduil would try to refine Thorin’s style. Thorin cares about how he looks but he’d pretend he didn’t just to annoy Thranduil and get him to sigh and roll his eyes. He’d insist on dwarven-made everything until the first time Thranduil wrassles him into some fine, Mirkwood silk… then, slowly but surely (THRANDUIL CAN WAIT! A HUNDRED YEARS IS A BLINK TO AN ELF!) more and more elf-influenced pieces would make their way into Thorin’s wardrobe. Give it a couple of decades and you’ll find Thorin and Thranduil looking regal and unique in a blend of dwarf and elf aesthetics.
Some of this piece is still doodley but that’s because this is still a sketch! I’m also not terribly sure I like Thranduil looking so… doe-eyed? Maybe he’s trying to be seductive? XD I usually see him as more masculine than he appears here.
Soooo, this one is much closer to my original illustration style but it is hella time-consuming! I used both a regular HB pencil and a 0.3mm Pentel mechanical pencil. (Which I recently purchased to replace my ancient 0.3mm Staedtler pencil. It died. It died sooo hard.) I usually enjoy drawing curls but those braids were so much fun to figure out and draw I cannot lament the lack of curls in this pic. There’s a whole bunch of tweaking that needs to happen before I can ink this but I’m happy where it is for a sketch!
Warm Hobbit. Someone gave Bilbo a dwarf sweater and he’s very pleased with it! He must have been cold. Maybe he if he washes it in warm water it will shrink a little bit? Maybe Dis made it for him?I like to think it’s one of Thorin’s old sweaters that he doesn’t like to wear much.
Inked with pigment liners on photocopy paper. XD Coloured in Photoshop.
Train them with love. The lurverly @tea-blitz requested another Hobbit/Pokémon crossover with hobbits as last time I drew Bilbo with hobbits, it was him chasing off a troublesome bulbasaur and she felt hobbits and Pokémon would get on! :D I wanted to draw Bilbo obviously loving and being loved by his Pokémon!
Other Pokémon AU pics include:
I’m so sorry for what I do to the English language. XD
Here! Have some inking practice! Fili with his Flareon, Topaz. It has nothing to do with the story above. I’m just having fun inking.

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.
Hobbit Headles. This line art has been sitting around since February and I’m just finishing it up, now. I wanted to draw even shorter hobbits and dwarves and the first thing that leapt to mind was taking away their torsos. XD Don’t judge meeeee!
And here is the jpg!
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.
