new art blog is over at @rohavon

middle-earth fan-art will occasionally happen, especially when i do my every other year books re-read. but i'm mainly a semi-cartoony animal artist. i still draw middle-earth content regularly, but it's mainly of my LOTRO based oc's ;)

i'm so happy some old art here is seeing a slew of reblogs and likes <3 but friendly warning that this blog will be nuked next year and i'm moving everything over from my side and main blogs to an Official Art Blog tm: rohavons

BUT ALSO don't feel like you have to follow the new one yet if you feel like it as again, i'm still moving things over and you will have two pages of art spam each day until its done.

My artsy year in review!

Tolkien fan art took a major dive this year as April came around, as none have come out of my hand since. But Tolkien OC art went way up as I was brought back to the Lord of the Rings Online roleplay scene, and roleplay has always been a well on inspiration as I watch mine and other’s characters grow and interact. Another down turn that I hope to remedy next year was my deer oc story, as Flight Rising fan art held dominance for the middle part of 2022. (people who recognize that pun get 10000 food items) 

In general, I think this year was more productive than the last. Feedback grows steadily less each year alas as online platforms and social media sites keep screwing over and scaring off would be supporters and other artists with their walnut brained practices, but I’m also learning to just be happy drawing for myself and a few friends in the wake of everything. 

That being said, I appreciate and hold close to my heart every like, reblog, and comment <333

Eomer and Gimli have an unusual score to settle.

Or maybe they’re just diehard fanboys. 

Part 1 of a little comic i’m doing about that scene in rotk where eomer and gimli discuss their love for different hair colors. Part 2 should be up in a couple weeks!

Your art of the pillars of the heavens is so beautiful! I love the details on the eagles!

Near to the centre of Milltalmar stood the tall mountain called Meneltarma, Pillar of the Heavens, sacred to the worship of Eru Illuvatar..., No bird ever came there, save only eagles. if anyone approached the summit, at once three eagles would alight upon three rocks near to the western edge...They were the witnesses of Manwe.And they were believed to be sent by him from Aman to keep watch upon the holy mountain and upon the land.

'you came to worship eru in THOSE sandals?' has me dying! [also i really like your eagle-of-manwe design btw]

At least bring your expensive sandals to eru holy sites :p

Thanks!, I based this one very loosely off a crowned eagle, they have such cool markings and colors

[rohadefunctblog]

POV: you climbed meneltarma and an eagle of manwe is judging you

1. I’m obsessed with how you draw Eomer, I can’t get enough, 100% in love with him, and

2. crossing my fingers for more Boromir at some point (no pressure of course)

3. all your art is great and it’s kinda making me want to read the silmarillion now so I can put it into more context

aawww ty ty ;A; it's a very dense read the first time but if you love middle earth it's very worth it in the end. i also loved your comment so much i drew, the manflesh

[rohadefunctblog]

Your art of Tuor is such a beautiful illustration! I haven’t seen anyone draw that scene before

I really like the lighting

-@outofangband

aww thanks! i've been drawing scenes from the legendarium that have formed strong mental images. that one and tuor's journey to gondolin in general have always done just that so it was about time i attempted it aha
