Daughter of the Golden Wood

This is for my Minstrel friend, Maerilin.

She was a prisoner in the Frozen North with me, and through the long days and nights the sound of her voice drove away the cold of Forochel and kept away my nightmares. We were both given as a pledge to the Lossoth, so the rest of our company would return from their quest in case they were victorious. We all risked everything for one man, guilty of his crimes, but repentant. It was our love and loyalty towards him that finally allowed us all to sail back south, confident that life would be easier from now on.

Of course other hardships came and destroyed what peace we had worked so hard to build. Our captain was killed, his wife went missing, and I left my home in the Shire, determined to find out what had happened to our company. After wandering in the wilderness for months, stopping at every town and village to ask for them, I found Maerilin in Rivendell. She hadn’t gone home to Lórien, so I met her by the stream that flows through the Valley.

Where would the Road lead us next? Were the others of our company searching for us, as we were searching for them?

Tell me if you have seen them.

Tilhi of the Stoors

A wandering Minstrel

Homeward, or a Hobbit’s search for a place to call home

My Hobbit girl on Landroval, Tilhi, has a long history of wandering around. She had a home once in Enedwaith, south of the Hobbit settlement of Maur Tulhau, but it was burnt to the ground, and after that she has lived on the kindness of others. Her circle of friends consists of many heroic figures but she is not quite sure where she belongs herself…

Everything belongs to me except for the lyrics! (cookies if you know the song 😉 the drawing was made listening to it)

The Plan

A long time ago, Omnymax looked into Galadriel’s mirror and both saw in horror, Omnymax helping orcs and a more vile creature, not known at the time which now we call Uruk-hai. For this he was banned from Lothlórien but his return was also foretold.

This time Galadriel had misterious words about knowledge, access and corruption.
Omnymax then went back to Rivendell where he met Elrond, Half-elven who consider him like kin. After some thought they began to understand what Galadriel meant and taking into consideration the first time Omnymax looked into the mirror, they elaborated a plan. They knew that at some point Omnymax would enter Saruman’s most guarded chambers and that would be the time to execute a very calculated plan to sabotage, diminish, and weaken the enemy forces.

After gaining access to Orthanc and its surrondings, a timely executed series of sabotage actions started.

Here’s a little ditty about life in the Shire.

ETA: Would the next person who has a Barrow-Brie to spare please send it to me?  I’ll need it for the video shoot.  😉

LOTRO Artwork

Greetings, fellow kinsmen and women! I’ve made some LOTRO inspired artwork among my other Art studies, and got an idea to share them here. Enjoy!

Omnymax Moonborne, our great leader and lore-master extraordinaire.

And here is my own character Blanzeflor, an Elven Huntress.

I used screenshots for details like hairstyle, clothing and jewellery but mostly I drew them the way they look like in my mind. Both sketches are made with pencil and paper, apart from the sepia colour and the backround texture that are added in Photoshop. Feel free to post your opinions! I also take requests for any future projects.
