Opened sketchbook lying flat on a Black surface. A watercolor and gouache painting of the shire is spreading on both pages. You can see mountains in the distance, flowers and a road in the foreground. A hobbit hole door is on the right with a hugh tree on top. In the middle you can see a tiny gandalf.
Around the sketchbook you see brushes, paint tubes and an elven brooch from lothlorien.
One year ago today I posted this miniature Lord of The Rings - Sam vs Shelob miniature photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets, the glow from the Phial of Galadriel I digitally added in the rest is all real.
Something something #introduction. Hi, I'm Auc, Elenyafinwe on #ao3, a simple hobbitdragon, that happens to be #queer and writes too many #fanfiction about gay Ninjas. Current fave pairing is Tobirama x Minato #TobiMina. You find links to my texts in the carrd linked in my profile. I talk about queer stuff, esp #trans and #enby, but also literature, #fantasy & #scifi, #games, my #birds, tv shows and random stuff. I also #knit & #crochet (you can throw money at me 😇). NEwest obsession is #CrossStitch
The second book to start reading this year!
My plan is to read all the Lord Of The Rings books in a once. And maybe The Chronicles of Narnia in a near future!
Painting of Hobbiton Hill at dawn after fresh snowfall. Hobbit doors set into a hillside, with warm light coming from the windows, smoke from the chimneys, pine trees and bare trees in the landscape. The sun is rising but stars are still visible.
Hello, everyone!
I'm Mihaela — writer and political scientist exploring Tolkien studies. I write about politics, culture, literature and the ways ideas shape our world.
I joined Mastodon to find a quieter, smarter corner of the internet, where thoughtful people still read, think and talk like adults.
I have a limited number of sets of 5 Hobbiton-in-the-snow greeting cards with envelopes at https://www.albaillustration.com/original-art/p/hobbitongreeting. They feature gold foil on the front and a wonderful hopeful message from the kindest, most steadfast character in fiction (who also happens to be our son's namesake!).
The back of the greeting card features the quote from Samwise Gamgee: "Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer."
"Jeden Palantir, by wszystkimi rządzić"
Tolkien, CIA i europejska suwerenność: czy Europa powinna uzależniać się od korporacji powiązanej z amerykańskim wywiadem?
Napisałam wreszcie tekst o Palantirze w Europie, który chodził za mną od jakiegoś czasu :) Gdzie indziej podlinkuję w tygodniu, ale mastodon ma pierwszeństwo ;) Zapraszam :)
