Happy 🐉

Here's a painting I did last year of Ancalagon, the largest dragon in Tolkien's world of LOTR.

I'm a little late, but it was recently J.R.R Tolkien's 129th birthday. Lord Of The Rings got me through some tough times last year, so I will always be thankful for this means imagination and the world and characters he created.

One of Tolkien's Valar (Powers of Arda) is Estë the Gentle, the Vala of Sleep. She loves a tree-shadowed lake called Lórellin (Dream Pool). Estë heals hurt and weariness, and her name in Quenya means "rest".

"Grey is her raiment; and rest is her gift".

There are many interesting stories behind translating Tolkien's works. One of such stories that I read for the first time was the translation of The Hobbit into Hawaiian:

"Ka Hopita: a i 'ole, I Laila a Ho'i Hou mai" (The Hobbit: or There and Back Again).

The artwork used for the cover is Tolkien's painting called "The Land of Pohja", the name of a location in Kalevala. This is one of Tolkien's experiments with symbolic, abstract, and imaginative scenes inspired by "strange visions", which he did in around 1911.

Tolkien's illustration depicting Sauron is rightfully eerie

Cat-related characters in Tolkien legendarium (Tevildo, the early version of Sauron & Queen Beruthiel of Gondor) are described in unsavory manner. Even Tolkien's letter for his fan jokingly described cats as fauna of Mordor, but I think they're cool.

combing through Tolkien's art looking for a piece to redraw today...I am just so delighted by his work, especially the ones that are more like doodles

Funky pattern button up designs I would love to have:
- Mollymauk's coat
- Something LotR/The Hobbit (maybe based on Tolkien's illustrations?)
- Japanese classic Sonic game cover designs
