The Fellowship When I was a kid, my folks basically told me I was a hobbit. I cherish the memory of them reading all these books to me--and I turned around and read them to my little siblings and eventually to my partner! I've drawn and painted a lot for The Hobbit but never The Lord of the Rings, and this ECCC seemed like the right time to debut one!

You know what no one talks about enough? The last King of Men to fall to his ring. The last one to become a Ring Wraith. I mean, we know how much Tolkien loved friendship. How much he valued the people he held close. We know how much it broke his heart to watch those people fade, he wrote about it all the time. So why would the men who slowly succumbed to the evil of the nine rings be any different?
The king who stood by and watched helplessly as his 8 friends, allies, kings he had fought with, surely, fell to the darkness. How heartbreaking it must have been to watch men who'd saved his life fall slowly to madness. How crushed must he have been to watch those he'd saved on the battlefield spiral into a darkness so deep that he couldn't reach them.
Do you think he tried? Do you think he ever stopped reaching out to them? A hand in the night, tears staining his voice as he begged "please, please come back, come home, come back to me!"
We know that when the One Ring tempted Sam, it was with promises to turn Mordor into a garden and a place of light and life and peace, the things Sam craved most in the moment. So did the Ring of the Last King Of Men promise to help him save his friends? As the eighth king fell, did it whisper to the ninth that not all was lost.
"Come with me," it promised, "I know where they have gone. Follow me; I can take you there."
The Ninth King would have resisted, of course. He'd watched all eight of the others fall, he'd have to have been a fool not to notice some sort of a pattern to their fate.
"I can help you save them." His ring called with a sing-song voice, "Together we can bring them back!"
The Ninth King tried to ignore the voice, but twirled the ring in his palm.
"Come with me! Come, come, they're waiting for you!"
Memories of feasts of victory, times of peace and joy. And he could hear them calling too. If he strained his ears, he could almost make out each of their voices in the twisted screams that circled his keep at night.
Do you think he cried when he put the ring on? Or as his jaw clenched as he put it on, determined to go into the dark and return not alone, but with his friends?

So like the true college student I am, I’m fucking blasted rn right and watching lotr and I realized that because Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday is in September, that means that when they’re traveling the days are getting shorter and the nights longer, and so the hobbits have less time the travel and the ringwraiths are able to stay out longer searching for them

“You haven’t chose your path well, wanderer. Come with us. If not, remember that my Master sees every step of yours.”
“I am a servant of the Light, you and your Master dwell in Darkness. In blindness.”
I am making a series of this traveller guy getting lost in Middle Earth😇

I was driving the children home this afternoon and Small Child said, “There’s no bad guys on horses chasing us. We aren’t hobbits running from Black Riders. But even if we were, we are in a van. And vans go faster than horses. So we would be okay.”
I wonder what he will think of wraiths on wings later in the story?

The Nazgul all got matching tattoos, and no one can convince me otherwise.

Black & White Portrait #3 - The Witch King. 
This is one of my all-time favorite helmet designs. It's pretty impractical and a little dramatic, but hot-damn it's cool.

Honestly perplexed by the thing that's going round about the ringwraiths being less powerful when they first visit the Shire.
To me they are still obviously pretty damn powerful, they just know how to be subtle??
It's like asking why Superman isn't wandering around the Daily Planet scoring his notes into wooden planks with his laser eyes! 1. He doesn't have to for the job at hand. 2. It's not actually that practical to be all powers all the time. 3. His cover would be blown.
Like, I am not saying they are All That Subtle. They are a ring wraith's idea of subtle. Which tbf is almost enough for Hobbiton, as they get pretty damn close!
