It’s wild there’s a million different editions of the hobbit when clearly the one with Tolkien’s own illustrations is the best

End? No the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass and then you see it. White shores and beyond a far green country under a swift sunrise.#RipChristopherTolkien

Tragic news, Christopher Tolkien, third and last surviving son of the legendary J. R. R. Tolkien, has died at 95. RIP. He drew the original maps featured in The Lord of the Rings, and posthumously edited and published his father's unreleased work like The Silmarillion.

In memory of Christopher John Reuel Tolkien (21 November 1924 – 15/16 January 2020)

Thank you for your hard work on collecting and editing your father works ... from “The Silmarillion” to “the Fall of Gondolin”

I couldn’t find any words to express my sadness of losing you.

RIP

Christopher Tolkien has died

JRR Tolkien's son worked diligently to bring us the Silmarillion and related Middle-earth texts

But he also repackaged material in multiple commercial releases and published drafts JRR did not want seen

Where does Tolkien scholarship go from here?

Tolkien once referred to his son as his "chief critic and collaborator", and named him his literary executor in his will. Tolkien organized the masses of his father's unpublished writings, some of them handwritten on odd scraps of paper a half-century earlier.

A new for The Adventures of Tom Bombadil! :) (It’s been so cold in the past two weeks, I could hardly concentrate on drawing...)

Hello my proud beauties, I'm Soni ('sunny'). I turn words into pictures and sometimes the other way round too.
Mad for Tolkien, classical horror, Greek myths, European folk & fairy tales, and the semi-secret thing I'm writing.

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love"

On my inner forearm closer to my elbow!
My friend passed away in November, and I’m getting one of her tattoos as a memorial. It says “You are going to be amazing” in Tolkien Elvish.

"For Fëanor was driven by the fire of his own heart only, working ever swiftly and alone; and he asked the aid and sought the counsel of none that dwelt in Aman, great or small, save only and for a little while of Nerdanel the wise, his wife." THE SILMARILLION, J.R.R.

Another part of that larger piece I said I was working on. (I never get to draw Tolkien elves, so I was very excited to draw my Silvan gal 🥳)
