Finished The Fellowship Of The Ring Yesterday! I'm So Proud Of Myself. I Haven't Read Seriously In A

Smaug <3

i drew these two lil guys (originally trailing behind gandalf from a few posts down) and thought that they would be cute as a sticker (that i'll probably never actually make) anyways Aragorn sewed the hobbit's names onto their clothing which they thought was cute but really it's cause Legolas and Gimli couldn't remember which was which and kept on making up increasingly terrible nicknames.

legolas: hey champ merry: i'm sorry???

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“.

I bet somebody already did this but I couldn’t resist redrawing this [x] and turning them into their dwarf characters.
