Another little sketch that ended up becoming a #Tolkien character: #Irisse , this time <:

The snow storm is because 1) it's very hot very I am right now, and 2) the crossing of the Helcaraxë has always fascinated me, as attested by another old work of mine: https://shorturl.at/0UvTq

Irisse is awesome, and I hope you like this little thing! <:

Just a quick warm-up sketch that became a rough #Maedhros - never forget that he's my baby and I love him very much (ꈍᴗꈍ)♡

Совершенно великий текст военного историка Брета Деверо про Толкина и про то, как работает этика в мире Толкина ("метафизическая архитектура Арды", как он выражается).

На поверхности это сравнение двух трагических историй: Боромира и Келебримбора. Внутри это подробнейший анализ того, кто и почему у Толкина "выигрывает", а кто "проигрывает". Крайне рекомендуется к прочтению.

Is anyone else disappointed in the 2025 #Tolkien Calendar?

I have collected #JRRT calendars for many years. I love John Howe's artwork. But the 2025 edition only seems to have maybe 2 new images. The others are all present in past calendars.

I can't believe that there isn't any good original JRRT art being produced suitable for calendars.

I'll just hang up my JRRT 1997 John Howe which has many of the same images and works fine except for lunar & religious holidays.

WIFE: Do you need a new binder too?

DAUGHTER: Probably. To hold my schoolwork this year.

ME: You should get her a Tolkien themed one ... You know: "Three rings for the elven kings".

DAUGHTER: [exasperated groan]

My prints are 40% off! Here's me hoping I might actually sell some and be able to go over the minimum limit - and finally withdraw what little money I've earned on there. :))
Here's my Tolkien collection for instance:
