thorin in blue // pencil and colored pencil

Hey guys! Darrion again.

   Quick announcement, I've joined a Pinterest group board called Christian Artists where a bunch of us Pinterest artists can post our artwork. Click here if you'd like to take a peek! There's quick a variety of styles on there, seeing that there are over 40 people who've joined.

  Okay, back to our regular programing ;)

   It's Thorin drawn in his own eye color, blue (though in some early photos he actually has gray eyes, which is odd...). I did this one a while ago, actually... I think it was in mid 2014, but I'm not positive since I've only recently started putting dates on the back of the paper.

   Anyway, this was my first experimentation with colored pencils and regular pencils together, so pardon the mess. The woman in red I posted earlier was done a while after this one, and Thorin is a great deal smaller than her, hence less detail.

   I hope you guys like this one! Also, I did one of Thrain (with red again) shortly after Thorin, so that one should be coming soon.

Sincerely,

Darrion

may your memory never fade, fili // pencil

Yes, finally that Fili tribute I promised you months ago.

   It's actually been done for a while, but I've been lazy, and also the sun hasn't been out, giving me bad light for the photo.

   Okay, yes, I am one of those fans who's not satisfied with Fili's part in the Hobbit trilogy. I found his lack of screen-time... disturbing.

   I'm also rather upset that Bilbo didn't say this line at the end. But, you know. Nothing we can do about it now.

   Or is there? Let's not let his memory fade away, let's give him some well-deserved love. I love how after the movie came out, I say lots of fanart about Fili, He's one of my favorite characters in the Hobbit (in order: Thorin, Bilbo, Fili {Kili's fallen a good ways down by now}) and I really miss him. 

   I'm glad there are other fans out there who think so too. Thanks, guys! :)

Sincerely,

Darrion

My Reaction to The Battle Trailer Illustrated in Gifs

Hey, everyone!

   Now, if you're a Hobbit fan, I hope you already know about the trailer for the Battle of the Five Armies that came out yesterday. If not, click here to watch it!

   Quick backstory, we didn't realize that it was going to come out when it did. Yes, we saw the short "Coming Tomorrow" video, but when Willow read the time, she thought it would come out at twelve o'clock at night. Later, we saw on a pin that it was up right then and there, at twelve in the afternoon! So, we watched the trailer (while filming our reactions, which is a whole other post) and totally freaked!

   Okay, so I promised gifs, and here they come :) These of of my (and some of Willow's) reactions before, during, and after the trailer.

When we saw that the trailer was up, Willow and I basically looked like this...

*freakin' out*

And then, it started. The New Line Cinema emblem appeared.

*dis gonna be gooooood*

 And then Smaug suddenly roars and breathes fire

*Durin's beard that startled me*

Tauriel appears

*sorry guys, I just had to*

"Those who survived, and those who did not." 

 *can't*

Pippin's song starts playing, "Home is behind..."

"Until the stars are all alight..." The Dwarves are walking in their armor, and (the soon-to-be-deceased) Kili is seen

*why you do dis to me?!*

It looks like Legolas's eyes are filling with tears

*wat are my feels doin'*

"Will you have peace, or war?" "All shall fade..." "I will have war!"

*why you gotta play me like dis*

"Will you follow me? One last time."

*raises hand as high as is humanly possible*

And after. At first, it's freaking out again.

Then, it's sitting and silently contemplating

And back to crying

My dad comes home and I show him the trailer

And then, to make it worse, I lay in bed and listen to "Into the West"

Why does it have to go so soon? It's all going to be over in December. And to kill my inner feels even more, I read this...

"This is the last time we’ll all be united as Tolkien fans for the sake of one trailer. Just know that I love you all and I would gladly sail to the Grey Havens with you at the end of this adventure."

... and I added this... "<-- If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together."

We only have so long to wait, until it's all over. I hope I've made your feels even stronger with this post. You're welcome :')

Sincerely,

Darrion

Pinterest's Majesty // Part Two

Dear readers,

   It is I, Darrion!

   I am going to post on Thorin's majesty again :)

 

   I did promise a part two, so here we go!

 

 

Coincidence? I think not!

Admit it, I am not the only one who stared into the majestic eyes and got no brain damage :)

Poor Kili :(

Okay, that's mean. But the Fili thing is hilarious!

Kili's face right here is priceless!

Okay, I think this post is long enough. That's enough majesty for one day :)

So, tell me what you think! I know, poor Kili don't deserve all that bashing for not being majestic. What else do you think? Which was your favorite? What would you like me to post on in the near future?

Post again later!

Pinterest's Majesty // Part One

Dear bloggers,

   Good day to you all! I am very glad you all followed me, I hope to achieve my goal of brightening up your day.

   So, today, I think I'm going to post on...

Majesty, Part One

   What majesty, you ask? Obviously, you haven't met Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thrain, son of Thror, the lost king under the mountain.

He is the most, and for that matter the only majestic dwarf. I got all these pins from Pinterest, by the way. Check out The Hobbit board here.

So, without further ado, brace yourself for some majesty!

No, one does not

Brace yourselves!

Oh, by the way, Kili really wants to be majestic like his uncle. But just he isn't.

See what I mean?

 

 

 

Thorin is even majestic in other peoples profiles

So, that is Part One of my posts on Majesty. I will hopefully post Part Two some time soon, and I'd love to hear your feedback! What would you like to see in my posts to come? Please tell me! I'm a rookie blogger, I need to know what to post on! 

Well, blog you later!

Sincerely,

Darrion

P.S,

   How do you like my new background and header? The header is a Sherlock and The Hobbit crossover, and I got the background from the Lego Lord of the Rings website.
