Hobbit Illuminations, work in progress!

Balin, Thorin, Thranduil work in progress by Soni Alcorn Hender

Hobbit illumination paintings, work in progress (Balin, Thorin, Thranduil)

This was how they started ^^ Here’s how they’re looking now!

beginning of Dwalin
with hand-lettered text added
linework
The fun fiddly bit: bringing the lines to life
A fully-fleshed out Dwalin awaiting colours :D
The beginning of Thorin!
Inking his Majesty
Rowr?
Detail of the face

An experiment in illustrations reminiscent of medieval European illuminations, but that look like they might have come from books of Middle-earth itself.
