Besides Teatime with Elf
and Bear, I made another slew of pictures from old drawings early (very
early: at first at 12:10 AM, and then after connectivity troubles, again at 3:30
AM) this morning. Here they are in alphabetical title order.
Druid Circle was
supposed to have them dancing around the stone on a green hill. That is so
divergent from my original concept I may try it again after a little tweaking.
Duel of Doom may
have started at an attempt at another Balrog fight, but with no room for the
demon’s lower half I opted for a snake’s body and an indoor setting.
Fingolfin was
inspired by my first reading of The Silmarillion: “But as the host of Fingolfin
marched into Mithrim the Sun rose flaming in the west; and Fingolfin unfurled
his blue and silver banners, and blew his horns, and flowers sprang beneath his
marching feet, and the ages of the stars ended.” I didn’t realize that, as an
Elf, he hadn’t been around long enough to have a white beard.
In the Barrow
shows a kingly grave-ghost arising in his tomb to protect it from a sudden marauding
beast. Perhaps vaguely inspired by the concept of Barrow-Wights in LOTR.
King’s Hoard was
inspired from the Tolkien poem of the same name. Not a complete match.
Queen of the Universe was
drawn to encourage my niece, sort of an idealized, heroic portrait. The winged cat symbolized
her favorite stuffed toy that had been stowed away out of her reach. The AI
program provided the slogan. Perhaps the latest of the drawings.
Sea Serpent Summon looks threatening, but the Wizard has actually called the beast to do his bidding. AI added the second staff.
