“What took so long? How hard is it to find the address on a Giant Volcano Fortress?? Sauron, tip the guy– An ingot? Two ingots? A slab of elf? What’s reasonable do you think?”
Sauron checks the clock. “They were five minutes late, my lord. Their offerings are now forfeit– allow them to escape with their life, and it will be a generous tip indeed.”
“Oh nice” quoth the scourge of Arda, “is the delivery guy forfeit too? Like legally is he considered an appetizer now?”
“I don’t see anything in their policy to say otherwise” replied the lieutenant.
The dark lord looks thrilled. “Well hot diggity dog”
This tree is supposedly a descendant of the original olive tree that occupied the same space by the Erechtheum in antiquity and was believed to be the original olive tree created by Athena during her contest with Poseidon to determine which god would rule Athens.
Long time no see… so have some imaginary of the Valar Aule and Yavanna.
I’ve my own thoughts and ideas why I drew them the way they’re shown but I’m gonna keep it for later :>
When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, he was already an accomplished amateur artist, and drew illustrations for his book while it was still in manuscript. The Hobbit as first printed had ten black-and-white pictures, two maps, and binding and dust jacket designs by its author. Later, Tolkien also painted five scenes for color plates, which comprise some of his best work. His illustrations for The Hobbit add an extra dimension to that remarkable book, and have long influenced how readers imagine Bilbo Baggins and his world.
I have found The Art of The Hobbit book here in Amazon. Some of these images are published here for the first time, others for the first time in color, allowing Tolkien’s Hobbit pictures to be seen completely and more vividly than ever before.
