"When The Day Came, The Mood Of The World About Them Had Become Soft And Sad."

During the last month and a half I’ve been working on some “The Hobbit” and LOTR illustrations

When I’ll be finished they are going to become a zine that I’m going to sell digitally on my ko-fi shop and in physical copies at cons

Here all the 15 illustrations of the first part:

sam, reading bilbo’s book: “well now, i’m sure he had a very nice voice, but that’s hardly a reason to go on an adventure with someone you just met”

sam: turns page to an illustration of thorin, with his dark hair and blue eyes

sam: “understandable, good for you mister bilbo”

"Away eastward the sun was rising red out of the mists that lay thick around the world. Touches with gold and red the autumn trees seemed to be sailing rootless in a shadowy sea."

The Fellowship of the Ring, J. R. R. Tolkien

“I’m not afraid! I’m up for it. I’ll give him a taste of Dwarfish iron right up his jacksie!”

Younger Nori, Dori and Ori (perhaps Nori wasn’t so different from Kili once, haha…)

Aannnd baby Kili and Fili because I saw some other really cute drawings of them as children. I… I kinda went nuts… D;

Extra drawing: Young Bofur and Bombur…

'Frodo! Mr. Frodo, my dear!' cried Sam, tears almost blinding him. 'It's Sam, I've come!'

Dori’s costume

Aragorn & Arwen

And they lived happily ever after :)

I had so much fun with Arwen´s dress and hair! I was a bit torn whether I should give her a hair comb, but I liked this version best without the hair comb just below the crown.
