Thank you for the art share! Here is some of my art!
A magical waterfall coming from a pillar of rock above the trees. Glowing green magic flows through the stone at the top of the pillar and rocks float in the air nearby. A shining, plantlike castle in the distance with swirly trees in the foreground. A huge blue/purple tree trunk with a swirling pattern on the bark. There is waterfall coming out of a hole in the trunk. Fall foliage at the edge of a river on a frosty day.

Happy 2014 everyone 🫠 #theycravethatmineral

Thranduil and Jareth plus infants (It was a request and my friend told me it was 2014 coded)

Drawing of thranduil holding baby legolas and jareth holding baby Toby, thranduil is bragging "I made this" (about legolas) Drawing of thranduil and jareth holding baby legolas and baby toby (the hobbit and labyrinth). Jareth is strutting and saying "I embezzled this" while thranduil retreats as if legolas might be stolen

Elrond and Thranduil, I like to think they're friends 😁 #lordoftherings #elrond #thranduil #thehobbit
Short 3 panel comic of elrond and thranduil from tolkien's works. Thranduil is running away holding a glass of wine. Elrond in the foreground shouts "heed me or I shall give all children in your realm a recorder!" Thranduil pauses and looks around while elrond grins. Elrond then adds "and one lesson each!" Thranduil looks scandalised

Lúthien and Huan defeat Sauron at Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Acrylics on paper (and the Silmarillion art obsession continues)
Acrylic painting in a warm color palette, showing Lúthien Tinúviel (from Tolkien's Silmarillion) and the Wolfhound Huan, towering over Sauron, who kneels defeated on the ground. In the background, the fortress of Tol-in-Gaurhoth shatters.

Rude #legolas #bilbo #lordoftherings #thehobbit
Three panel comic of legolas and bilbo in lotr. Legolas looks confused and is staring at bilbo who is smiling. Bilbo says "hello again my lad!" Legolas then looks more confused and upset while bilbo still smiles. Third panel is legolas lifting bilbo off the ground while screaming "WHY ARE YOU SO OLD?" while bilbo looks amused and uncomfortable

I made another chapter of that silly comic where the wood elves lose gollum 🧝‍♂️ www.instagram.com/p/DMSXOvFsHo... #lordoftherings #legolas #losinggollum #thehuntforgollum
Comic page of lotr. Legolas gets off his horse while samwise looks on in awe. He walks forward and almost collides with gimli who makes a snort noise and legolas looks scandalised. Legolas then turns to arwen who looks incredulous in a tired sibling kind of way and he asks her "are all bilbo this strange?" (He thinks all hobbits are called bilbo) gimli looks back grumpily and Sam is still looking in amazement.
