I think these two should meet and have a riddle-off

I’d love to see the Riddler’s reaction to “What do I have in my pocket?”

Thinking about 1977 animated Smaug...

They made him look so cool. I love dragon designs that aren't just "lizard".

Like this is the big, cranky old feral cat that wanders your neighborhood and sounds like it eats cigarette butts.

Lol I rewatched this movie last week - for the first time since I was a kid. I wanna draw him, might draw hiim.

I finally got around to coloring this bad boy! Did anyone else grow up on the Rankin bass Hobbit? We watched it pretty often growing up, even though my sister always hated it!

Found this weird VHS in my oma's attic??? Delicious in Dungeon I guess? Anyone know if it's based on a book or something?

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #art #if the joke isn't clear these are done in the style of the rankin bass hobbit/the last unicorn #the color scheme of the third one is actually ripped directly from a screenshot of the hobbit lol #izutsumi is supposed to look like smaug also LOL #I was gonna do more of these but I got distracted lol.

here's to all the weird and obscure movies from the 80s and 90s that never got their score uploaded to spotify etc because the companies that made them don't exist anymore and the rights to the music is really weird now and whoever owns it doesn't give a shit that they own it now

#RANKIN/BASS HOBBIT/LOTR ILY PLEASE COME BACK FROM THE WAR #i cant even easily find the vinyl of it its so upsetting #mine

The Ranki-Baas are an alien species from the Andromeda Galaxy. Seen as a barbarian race by most of the universe, the Ranki-Baas didn't develop space travel on their own but had it introduced to them by visitors. However, their resource-limited homeworld made them an unattractive prospect for invaders and traders alike. Ranki-Baas culture is simple in its aesthetic tastes - making things for mostly utilitarian purposes and avoiding ornamentation or art-for-art's sake. The main exception is in their songs, which are renowned abroad, even by those who dismiss other aspects of their culture. Singing is extremely important to them - in fact, several wars have been fought solely because a tribal chief or two wanted a venue to showcase a new acapella war chant or the like. They each have two throats, which aid in their ability to harmonize. 

Ranki-Baas only have one sex, with each member having both male and female features. In a mating scenario, both participants tend to give birth. The have live births, but the young are soon after suspended in nutrient-rich mud until they reach adolescence, when they emerge healthy and strong. Ranki-Baas have expandable throats, like the bullfrog of Earth, with are used in threat displays. Their "horns" are actually the upper canine tusks, which grow upward and pierce through their skin. 

Inspired by the Goblins/Orcs from the Rankin/Bass Tolkien movies. I always liked their designs (even though they're not remotely book-accurate) and they always had the best songs. Their gestation period is based on the infamous "Orc Pods" from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies.
