I saw someone a while back complaining that Aragorn stops being interesting in RotK because once he becomes king he's too lofty and remote and loses the humanity of his character, and I just...
Aragorn lets Beregond think he's being banished for a solid five seconds before telling him he's being sent to be Faramir's captain of the guard. He refuses to tell his friends that he's getting married because if they can't figure it out then they're just going to have to wait and see. Yes, he is a great and lofty king, but he is also still clearly a man whose best friends include Gandalf and Bilbo, and who consistently trolls people as a love language.

George Martin, 2013: "In a very basic level winter is coming for all of us. I think that’s one of the things that art is concerned with: the awareness of our own mortality. “Valar morghulis” – “All men must die”. That shadow lies over our world and will until medical science gives us all immortality… but I don’t think it makes it necessarily a pessimistic world. Not any more pessimistic than the real world we live in. We’re here for a short time and we should be conscious of our own mortality, but the important thing is that love, compassion and empathy with other human beings is still possible. Laughter is still possible! Even laughter in the face of death… The struggle to make the world a better place… We have things like war, murder and rape… horrible things that still exist, but we don’t have to accept them, we can fight the good fight. The fight to eliminate those things.There is darkness in the world, but I don’t think we necessarily need to give way to despair. One of the great things that Tolkien says in Lord of The Rings is “despair is the ultimate crime”. That’s the ultimate failing of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, that he despairs of ever being able to defeat Sauron. We should not despair. We should not go gentle into that good night".
JRR Tolkien, 1962 : "One reviewer once said, this is a jolly jolly book, all the right boys come home [...]- this isn't true of course, he can't have read the story. [...] Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . . . . . (He quotes Simone de Beauvoir) 'There is no such thing as a natural death. Nothing that ever happens to man is natural, since his presence calls the whole world into question. All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident, and even if he knows it he would sense to it an unjustifiable violation.' Well, you may agree with the words or not, but those are the key spring of The Lord Of The Rings".
"Lotr is all rainbows and unicorns and Asoiaf is nihilistic and grimdark". Wrong, and wrong. In all its hope and radiance, lotr often gets very dark, and despite all the death and suffering, the hopeful moments in asoiaf shine bright. The meeting point of these two is this: having hope while in despair, and even better, refusing to give up because you have to go on despite not having any hope left.

Legolas, a silvan who can speak to trees:
Gondor, a city well known for the white tree at it’s epicenter:
Their collaboration: the best kept secret all throughout Aragorn’s reign
Legolas legit knows about so many secrets and schemes (and late night rendezvous) bc he and the tree are gossip buddies and it infuriates so many people bc how tf does he know???

I have never drawn metallic armor or helmets before. This was an interesting experience. Also this is Sauron from the Middle Earth series.

All my Disney X LotR art so far
I only just realised I made Eowyn’s hair curly like Aurora’s in the battle picture and straight in her portrait, whoops! Never mind, I wanted her to have straight hair to differentiate her more from Galadriel and Arwen anyway.
In an actual movie I’d want Galadriel to be animated slightly more fluidly and beautifully than everyone else, since she lived in Valinor and saw the two trees. And for her hair to be particularly glorious!
I also think it’d be cool if the Ringwraith’s were animated kinda jerkily or even stop motion like, something uncomfortable to convey their horror.
Next up is a Faramir/Eowyn drawing, then I’m torn between Gandalf or the hobbits

Boromir, who thought a lot of hickeys by Aragorn were insect bites, finds out the truth a year later.
