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

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.
Scan of the final ink stage, ready for painting!
