Hobbit Illumination: Dwalin
Hobbit Illumination – Thorin Oakenshield
Hobbit Illumination: Thranduil

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

The beginning of Thorin!
Inking his Majesty

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.
