I thought I’d illustrate another interpretation of a character from J.R.R Tolkien’s books with a piece highlighting Celeborn. This one was such a blast to work on. Who else should I draw?

How about an old school salute to hydras, too?

Clockwise fromtop left, Ken Widing, Harry Quinn, Erol Otus, and Roger Raupp!

Cool trivia here, the script in the top left of Raupp’s pic is Tolkien’s Tengwar script for “Roger”!!!

Shitposting commissions are probably my most favorite type of commissions, just cause I get to have fun with the commissioner

Commissioned by anon! They want Feänor from , one of R.R Tolkien’s works, and the prequel to .

My favorite settings are ones that take Tolkien’s tropes and give them twists. I need to have elves and dwarves, but love it if they are samurais or sophisticated cannibals or some such.

Fateforge is a great setting, involving all of the D&D classics, but making them their own

My friend asked me for a sketch prompt idea after suggesting I draw my take on Beorn. As he did, I used Tolkien’s words to inform my design choices. I asked him to give us his take on Treebeard.

I think Alan Lee’s illustrations for The Lord of the Rings are amongst the greatest ever made. His imagery is now fused with Tolkien’s words in the consciousness of generations of obsessed readers. Surely that is the greatest achievement you can attain in book illustration
