I Think Ill Daydream About Being Loved For The Rest Of My Life

i think i’ll daydream about being loved for the rest of my life

is anyone else disgusted by the enormity of their desire or is it just me & richard siken

i can't stop drawing them

Once again thank you @pilkypills for suggesting to draw more Balin! I tried to fit him into another sketchbook spread and just as always, he fits right in. Hes honestly so fun to draw. Fili and Radagast were also delightful.

something absolutely lovely about especially the first half of fellowship is that the hobbits keep meeting random kind helpful strangers - the elves, bombadil, butterbur, aragorn (also farmer maggot and his wife, though they're not strangers) - until the book solidifies in you the feeling that these are not really instances of random luck, but rather the inherent nature of the world. kind people are everywhere, and no matter where you are, there is surely someone closer than you think that would offer help if you needed it. it's such a beautiful theme across all of LOTR, and it's very sweet to me that it starts from the very beginning of the journey, on such a 'small' (comparatively), everyday scale

a very comfortable reading position, to be sure! 📚
