How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Melkor

no but that's literally them

This Ring quest will have two hobbits. Maximum.

Then they all get to Rivendell and have somehow multiplied into four hobbits. And it's like. Okay. Maybe the others are right.

Maybe this is too many hobbits.

We have as many hobbits as we have not-hobbits.

But damn it, you just don't want to get rid of any of these hobbits. Screw it! Everyone can deal. Four hobbits. This is a four hobbits problem.

So away you go.

And things go bad in the worst possible way.

Over and over.

You've lost your hobbits. You've lost yourself. The fellowship has been separated.

It takes everything in your power to help the humans defend themselves, bringing them together to save Rohan. Finally, as things begin to look upright, you're ready to face the war with everything the Rohirrim have left.

You're ready to face him. This may be the hardest battle you've ever fought. But you ride.

Then you get there and two of your fucking hobbits are sitting there like "Yeah, while you were gone, we raised a tree army and beat Saruman's ass. Wanna help us loot his tower?"

....

There were not, in fact, too many hobbits.

Saruman a two-hobbit problem

Sauron a four-hobbit problem

If you're new to the Misbehavingmaiar experience, please, be gentle. X'D there are plenty of things in the depths here that I no longer vouch for, that came from a very different time when I was a very different person. But, also, it's a joy to have any of it rediscovered at all! If you find yourself with questions, I am, somehow, still at the wheel of this blog and can answer them to the best of my ability. <3

Seven sons of Feanor and the process of drawing them

+

First I drew them all with the same body and same pose, then started changing it in a way it fit more or less their personalities; they all kidna go in pairs except Caranthir. My beloved goth is always a lone wolf.

look at all the many ways I changed Maglor! he decided to be problematic.

I made the initial lineart first, then added the hair colors cause that was important to me.

Drawing the clothes was fun, my favourite was Celegorm's shoulder armor

Maedhros, the dutiful son

Thank you very much!! I agree, the Númenorean ladies deserve more love! I decided to do Tar-Miriel.
