“For it shows things that were, and things that are, and things that yet may be. But which it is that he sees, even the wisest cannot always tell. Do you wish to look?”

Another #tolktober for today’s Mirror of Galadriel. 

my favourite chapter in the fellowship! Hope you like it!
A pencil illustration depicting a chapter of Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. The chapter being ‘The Mirror of Galadriel’. The illustration shows the dream-like environment as Sam and Frodo decent down wooden carved stairwells following Galadriel into a glade of trimmed mosses and grass and roots. All the trees know not to grow here for here lies Galadriel’s mirror. In the distance we see elven roofs intertwining with natural structures. The moon glows above all and stars twinkle brighter here than anywhere else in middle earth.

Finally finished this piece up, adding the border today!

“Where are we going?”
“Into the wild!”

Entering this for today’s #tolktober2025 ‘Hobbits’

I hope you like it, cheers! 🐰🐺

“Where are you taking us?” “Into the wild!” Here is my depiction of the Hobbits being lead towards the Tower of Amon Sûl or Weathertop for Tolktober🐰🐰🐰🐰🐺 I took a lot of creative liberties here and it is not quite accurate to the books, more so to the film as I love the scenes leading up to the knife in the dark at weathertop! This piece has been a long time in the making, finishing the drawing early this year and adding the border today! I’ve always loved the thought of depicting Tolkien’s story in some sort of redwall-like world and I think the little rabbits that burrow and live underground in our real world are the best candidates for hobbits! Then you have Aragorn or as the Hobbits currently know him as Strider the wolf as their guide! I hope you like it! Pencil Illustration with Digital border ✏️

Hello #PortfolioDay

I’m Robbie, an illustrator and artist for animation from Bonnie Scotland! I love whimsical worlds, weird fantasy and drawing a good tree!🌲🌳

Currently looking for work in book illustration, ttrpg/tcg spaces or any other fun illustrating projects!✨
Pencil illustration depicting the 4 hobbits of the lord of the rings as wondering and lost rabbits following a wolf character they currently know as strider as he leads them to the tower of Amon Sul. A watercolour painting study of a large spruce tree, perched up against the very tree that was painted Digital painting of Bilbo’s Hobbit Hole, Bagend. The sunsetting light glows into the interior from the large bay window, warming all the trinkets that lay around messily. There are maps spread across a large table next to a still hot teapot and mostly eaten cherry pie. The more you look the more you see many little Easter eggs from tolkiens story hidden around Bilbo’s home. A pencil illustration of a sleepy gnome laying up against the stump of a large and over grown tree. A perfect spot for a nap, before or after a long journey. Or just if you fancy a quiet kip in nature!

Nearing the end of Mythago Wood and couldn’t help but think this mythological character is rifted off of Tolkien’s Cirdan in some ways.

Spoilers at your own risk!

Some ink wash and water colour time!

#inktober #fantasy #illustrstion
Black ink fountain pen drawing of a strange forest creature who is cloaked by a gathering of twig, leaf and general forest mulch. This mysterious figure is weaving together different types of plants to create something. She looks in deep concentration as the forest around her is shaking to the winds breeze that whistles through its very hollows.

Almost finished the pencils for the second of my inktobish drawings.

Channeling a mystical, wonky and weird tree-filled Arthur Rakham style for this one :)

#inktober2025 - Moustache Merlin ✨

Please find and enjoy a little story excerpt in the alt text that goes along with it! Cheers :)

Drawn with Sailor Fude De Mannen fountain pen 🖋️
Look here I say boy, it takes a lot to be me! I think all day and I think when I sleep! Let’s see, what do you think when you think of a tree? It should be wisdom I would think and becoming with that thought what is it that you see? Well you’d think you just see a tree but it is also me! My moustache grows like the oak and bush and the birds and the bees nest within it. Longer and itchier it becomes as the sea gets deeper and dirtier! Astounded you are yes I see it, I SEE! You’d love for me to go on but I cannot think of this no more, on with you now, tick-tock there’s the door!

“Hobbits! Four ‘obbits!”

Argue with me if you must but this is the best line delivery in the whole film trilogy!😤 (I’m curious if you have a favourite tho too)

#lotr #hobbits #tolkien #drawing
A little drawing depicting my favourite moment/piece of dialogue from PJ’s Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring. The four hobbits, Frodo and his companions, Sam, Merry and Pippin have finally arrived at the village of Bree. Its walls and gate of entry loom over them and their necks creek from looking up, eyes squinting from rain splashing down upon those weary travellers. A squeak from beyond the wall shouts out to them. “Hobbits, four ‘obbits!”. It was time they had better enter Bree and find somewhere warm to rest for the night.

Happy #HobbitDay folks!✨

An oldie but I still like the fairytale vibe I tried to capture for my most beloved story. Not a day goes by I don’t think about hobbits!

#TheHobbit #LOTR #Tolkien
An illustration of an artist’s cartoony interpretation of what it would look like within Bilbo Baggin’s Hobbit hole. We see the evening sun lighting up the warm and cosy hovel which is full of items from Bilbo’s adventures. Maps are sprawled across tables amongst pots of tea and slices of pie, shelves are piled with all-sorts and bits and bobs. Books lay on floors gathering dust and if we look closely there’s a block of cheese left out for a friendly mouse. There is also a room in the back which is the kitchen, full of chunky wooden furniture covered in all types of kitchenware. It’s a messy but cosy lifestyle for mr Bilbo. The illustration is decorated with a border which shows the exterior of Bag End and the hills around it!

Post a mage!🌳😴
This is an Artwork depicting a real life tree found in Perthshire Scotland. Combined with a whimsical gnome character, a story is born from the tree! Under the canopies of a gnarled and well grown Beech tree rests a little gnome. He perches his weary head up against the leftovers of the Beech tree’s trunk which seems to have been sawn down. Don’t worry though as this old wonder has many other trunks that grow above our friendly sleeper to allow him to be shaded from the hot sun, still receiving warmth from the beds of mosses surrounding him. His long beard drapes over his belly onto the ground as he lets out faint whistles, snoozing and snoring the day away. The traditional pencil drawing of our gnome and his resting point is framed with a simple but quite intricate border. The border is in yellow, mustardy greens and has little illustrations on each vertical side depicting each type of common Scottish tree’s seed and leaf. The style of the border is done in a digital-watercolour way.

QRP with something watery 🌊

There’s always a bigger fish! 🐟
Illustration depicting a pirate ship within choppy waters with its bow pointing up towards the sky due to it unfortunately being currently capsized by a large mouthed (and very nice toothed) fish. We can see the chaos this encounter has caused across the foamy waves with crew mates abandoning ship, some of them in tears and others drowning their sorrows away. If we look beyond the commotion and swim down into deeper depths, we see an even larger mouthed fish (probably the same dental plan as the other fish) making its way to gulp both slightly less big fish and boat, amongst all other sorts of treasures and trinkets. Those who survive will have a very tall tale to tell if they make it back to shore. The rum is calling them!

Harold the Hare, he loves a good stare, across hill, cranny and nook. His weary eyes rest across the horizon after long days of reading passages in dusty books and organising his collection. It’s honest and hard work as a book salesman along the river which he reads. His rest is well deserved!

🐇📚
A pencil illustration depicting a Hare named Harold sitting outside of his bookstore which is within a hollowed out pine, stretching about 4 or 5 stories tall (if you count the cramped attic). Harold enjoys resting his eyes across the fading hills just outside on his porch, pipe in hand, a puff every few seconds or so until it’s time to make some dinner.

With ever tree limb I paint I feel like I’m being swallowed up by these woodlands 🪾🌲🪾🌲

#watercolour #painting #wip #fantasy
A work in progress photograph of an artist’s watercolour painting of a mystical woodland. The trees feel very mysterious, like a darkness enchants them, disorienting anyone who walks these forest floors.

Time to paint!

This will be an illustration of my depiction of an early scene within the book Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock. A book I wish I read when I was younger! Highly recommend it for those into the fantasy genre or who are nostalgic for times before their own!

#books #illustration
An image of pencil drawing mapped out on watercolour paper before being painted into. There is a sketchbook open too featuring preliminary sketches and a colour study of the drawing. The illustration is based off of a scene in the earlier parts of the book Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock.

Weird walks in the wonky woodlands 🌳👀🌲

A little crop from a larger piece I did many many moons ago!

#illustration #woodland #fantasy #trees
A digital illustration with nostalgic and warm colours. The illustration depicts a view through wonky woodlands with mushrooms sprouting, moss covered rocks and trees with faces carved out of their bark. This woodland is alive. The tunnelling trees lead your eye out into the rolling hills where a mushroom shaped home sits on the horizon, a wisp of smoke rises from its roof letting us know someone is within sitting by a warm fire. Maybe we can rest there for a night…

Grandpa mole and his slightly more stout son are chuffed with their recent molehill marvel, a dirt castle!🏰

#moles #nature #drawing #castles
A rough sketchy drawing of a proud father and son mole look up upon their dirt castle. Its rickety towers are graced with small, weedy flowers and plants used as flags to guide nearby wayfarers back home. They use clumpy and clayish mud for the windows and doors and a slightly more soft and stoney dirt for the foundations. These moles know their stuff when building muddy marvels!

Trying to grasp moments of inspiration quickly before they end up in that ever piling tower of ideas gathering dust in my head.

An idea that came from a book I started reading just the other day!

#sketch #drawing #pencils #woodland #fantasy
Graphite pencil sketch of an encroaching forest that weaves and whips branches and trunks around one another. 2 character in the centre of this hollow are discussing something, the larger of the two looks to be giving some advice to the character looking up to him. Looming in the dark, between trunk and leaf is a beast, human in form but elongated with branching limbs and a neck stretching and looming. The character must act quick before darkness consumes them!

It’s something I sway in an out of. I think I’d like to get more into it again once I get a hang of more traditional/mixed media techniques :)

Spent the weekend mostly away from the screens out in my parent’s garden helping them get some new flowers ready for the summer months :)

This will hopefully be a bed of St. John’s chamomile if all goes well and they get plenty sun! :)
Early work in progress of a flower bed being dug out of some wild grass on the bankings of a garden in Scotland Finished garden dug from some wild grass bankings on the side of a Scottish garden. The bed with seeds sowed is hopefully ready and will have little plants growing in 2-3 weeks

An afterwork splurge of marks and colours and scribbles and wobbles 🖋️
Digital colour sketch of a robber badger being chased by a policeman pig (cliche huh). The badger trips on a trippy tree branch and is in mid trip with his loot spilling out behind him. The chubby ball shaped pigman is on the case, coming over the hill’s crescent. It’s a very messy drawing I did after work to just loosen the brain and get some energy out! :)
