Éowyn and Faramir. Watercolour on Legion Stonehenge cold pressed paper, 21×31 cm.
By coincidence, I found that I owned an American cent, and realised that it was way larger than the Euro cents I’m used to – here they are side by side.
Doing any sort of small detail is still incredibly hard for me, and I pay for it with headaches and having to paint in little half-hour instalments over several…
Yavanna meets Gimli. Yavanna is not happy to meet Gimli, but did anyone deigned to ask her before allowing a dwarf to stroll through Aman? No. No, of course not.

What I love about this, –aside from the simply delightful image of Sauron petting his cat/spider Shelob–, is that it’s one of the very few things The Lord of the Rings tells us about Sauron’s personality.

However the Stewards of Gondor still kept scouts in Ithilien (or Moon-land
in Sindarin), based at secret locations such as Henneth Annûn (the name means Window of the Sunset), which were built shortly after 2901. In 2954 Mount Doom burst into flame and those few farmers who remained fled Westward over the Anduin, leaving only the Rangers behind to harry the servants of Sauron.
