A couple more angles of the Thorin Oakenshield / Goblin King diorama.

The majority of the lighting was painted with dry-brushing or over-brushing (same but a "wetter" brush).

More angles of the Thorin Oakenshield / Goblin King diorama.

The rocks of the base were made from layers of cardboard, coated in tissue/PVA and then plaster to give it texture.

Goblin Vs Dwarf.

Thorin Oakenshield meets the Goblin King.
Not quite how it plays out in the book, but call it artistic licence.

I painted this diorama as if lit only from the 2 torches at either end of the bridge.
One of those occasions when I do OSL.

Again, using 2 figures from #MithrilMiniatures

10 years ago, on 14th December 2012, a dwarf graced the big screen with dignity, a strong will and an impressive appearance: I would have never thought I'd fall for #ThorinOakenshield and #TheHobbit, but I did thanks to #RichardArmitage's masterful art. Thank you! ❤️
