Sign-ups for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2024 are now open!

If you’re new here, TRSB  is a Tolkien-fandom-wide event celebrating the talent of our fanwork creators. Participating artists create a piece of art to be claimed by a signed up author. Authors will then write a 5k word fic based on the art they chose.

All sign-up forms are available here!

As well as signing up as an author and/or artist, you can sign up as a beta, cheerleader, pinch hitter, or treat maker.

Explanations of what all of these mean can be found in the relevant section of our FAQ.  Sign-ups for these roles will remain open for the duration of the event and will get you access to the gallery. However, you must be signed up as an author to claim.

Want to suggest a prompt to our artists? Our suggestions form will be open until May 14th.

Want to see what others have already suggested and get hyped with us? Check out our handy spreadsheet.

Questions? Visit our website, which has our FAQ and timeline all set out. 

Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the rules before signing up :) 

The event is open to all characters, genres and ratings, and all canons that fall under the Tolkien fandom umbrella. This includes movieverse (i.e. the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies), lesser known works by Tolkien (such as The Father Christmas Letters), and/or other works with a clear link to his life or creative output (for example, Tolkien's translations and academic texts, the 2019 Tolkien biopic, fan-made films like Born of Hope, and game canons such as The Lord of the Rings Online). Crossovers between two or more Tolkien canons are permitted.

We hope you're as excited as we are! We can't wait to see what you make.

After talking with @fishing4stars last evening she convinced me to post this gouache I did a few weeks ago

This is Amaras, best player of Roxxor faction in the web serie Noob ! My favorite side character 🥰

[ela-draws]

(reblogging this here because it's art related)

You are way too nice 😭😭😭💙 You can see some of my gouache paintings here, here and here ! I think all of them are tagged #gouache

Yes the opaque and pigmented paint and the possibility to blend colors really well is super satisfying !

I'd love to try japanese watercolours sometimes ! Which brand do you recommend?

I can't wait to see more of your digital art ! 👀

Hello! Hope you don't mind me hopping in for a random question. I am curious to know what is your favorite medium to make art with, and why? If you like different mediums for different things, can you explain?

Please & thank you!

Hi ! I don't mind at all ! Everyone is welcome to drop in my dms but especially you dear Tolkien mutual <3

My favorite medium is watercolor, in the sense that it's the one I have more fun doing ! I especially like to just pencil sketch and color with watercolors. That's what my sketchbook is filled with but I rarely post these because of their "unfinished" and "unpolished" look. And let's be honest traditionnal art doesn't always find its public on social medias and most of these sketches are OC things.

I mostly use digital for more "complex" pieces because it allows a lot more possibilities and preciseness and I like to play with different lights and brushes !

Finally I started painting with gouache a few months ago and I really like it !!! It's so smooth and pleasing ! I really want to do more but this medium takes me a lot more time ...

And you what are your favorite mediums ? I really like your paintings !

Just realised I never posted all my DC doodles

about a 2 years ago I got overly obsessed with Batman, batfam and DC and obviously I created a Batmom OC: Bel Wayne ! So I have a LOT of content (yes her older design is entirely based on Princess Diana ...). Be indulgent this is super old

[ela-draws]

I just read DC Knights of Steel and I had to draw my OC in a DC medieval fantasy AU !! So here's Bel as a court lady and Sir Wayne
