New Url :) I Like The Simplicity Of "merrydol" But I Don't Like How Unrecognizable It Is If You Don't
New url :) i like the simplicity of "merrydol" but I don't like how unrecognizable it is if you don't care about tom bombadill and his song (and even if you do i don't think you'd immediately think about it)

The Fellowship of the Ring, J. R. R. Tolkien
Finished The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday! I'm so proud of myself. I haven't read seriously in a long time, only a random book here and there. And look at me now, already finished with The Hobbit and Fellowship! I'm doing really good, and on my way to finish finally reading this classic.

Dwalin’s Regal Armour by Edward Denton
“With the green theme in his armour Peter looked at Dwalin’s battle axe and suggested that we should give it blades that were made out of greenstone, or jade. In New Zealand it is called pounamu and it has cultural significance and value. The Maori people, native to New Zealand, carve it into jewellery and also make weapons out of it. It’s a beautiful stone, translucent and with flecks and veins of colour through it, so it made for a very eye-catching weapon. People from outside New Zealand probably wouldn’t catch the reference, and the films are fantasy after all, but for those of us who know what greenstone is and its specialness here it was cool to see Dwalin wielding an axe made of it.
A dagger for Dwalin came through as a fairly late request, but having just designed his greenstone axe it made sense to have it match“.

Tried to imagine how id design a copy of The fellowship of the ring and this is how it turned out
can i be so for real. i don't care for the hobbit movies at all. BUT. the behind the scenes for them are so interesting. watching one three-hour-long movie is unbearable to me. watching the nine-hour behind the scenes videos for this movie though? one of my favorite watches of the last few years. kinda considering buying the dvd so i'll have it in case it gets removed from youtube.
