#Tom Bombadil

[conkers-thecosy]

....Anyone else ever think about Tom Bombadil and the fact that Tolkien's publishers probably only left that whole chunk in there because they thought this random, delightful, and overpowered character was likely going to make a future appearance to help fight the forces of evil, or???

I continue my journey through Middle-earth, now postcards from house of Tom Bombadil and Barrows-downs ♡

Another seven 🌼 The handsome guys never quite turn out the way I want, it's so much easier to draw orcs and creatures...

Also, I’ve decided I'll be selling the originals after I finish all the drawings (that means after Easter). But if there is any character you'd like to have in particular you can start reserving them now. By messaging me here or on s.u.w.i@email.cz :^)

Goldberry isn't taken yet!

The prices are from 50 to 80USD (shipping included). And same as last year with the dog drawings this year also all the earnings will be sent to charities.

More characters here and here!

Actually I love that Tolkien decided to include Tom Bombadil. What an amazingly unhinged decision. Literally 5 minutes out of the Shire Merry & Pippin almost get eaten by a sentient evil willow tree but there's just Some Guy who's In Charge of the trees and tells it to let them out. He's older than elves and the river is his wife. Also he's immune to the ring, the thing that the preceding 120 pages and following 800 pages are entirely about and he literally never shows up again. Everyone's like "oh he's God" and Tolkien was like NO he's not God he's literally just a Guy and I don't know what he's doing there either he just wants to be. Incredible. No notes.

Tolkien: Tom Bombadil is a funky little dude who lives in the forest with his hot wife. Also the most evil thing in the world has no effect on him.

"no, you don't get it, I mean if Tom Bombadil lived in *our* world, he'd be an epic shitposter"

JRR TOLKIEN'S GHOST: please stop summoning me

It’s September 26, and you know what that means… Tom Bombadil Day! 🎉 On this day of their quest, Tolkien’s Hobbits met the mysterious, whimsical, nature-loving Tom Bombadil. 😎

I was very nervous(sitting at a work meeting) and I had to doodle comfortable things, to keep myself together. So I made a sketch for this one. Tom and Goldberry, my favorite couple...in the end they are maybe too sweet, I am almost ashamed to post it here x_x

[wholesome-supervillain]

btw i have a theory: Sam Reich is secretly immortal and Tom Bombadil

evidence:

is a merry fellow

speaks in riddles

cursed objects have no effect on him

he’s been here the whole time

someone get this man a bright blue jacket and boots that are yellow

Goldberry! I have always liked her, and Tom too of course, a lot 💛

You ever think about the fact that Tom Bombadil is the single most mysterious, and potentially most powerful figure in Tolkein's entire legendarium, who scholars and fans alike have spent hours, days, and years tearing their hair out over, and he's literally just a funny little guy? And that's, like, the whole reason why he's so enigmatic and mysterious! We're all just like "hey what the fuck is this funny little guy doing here? what???" It's amazing.
