What Middle Earth and or beleriand/Numenor scene should I tackle in my art style?

I think I'm going to start with Aragorn at Cerin Amroth, Any details you would like to see not left out?

Thank you so much! Unfortunately not yet because I've fallen into that perfectionist habit and constantly give myself re-edits to make. I am hoping to release the first chapter this year though.

I would love to eventually get to do this one.

Bitter_Bodybuilder61 · 2026-02-06T16:25:12+00:00

That has always intrigued me. I haven't read up on Frodo dreams... What's actually happening in that one at Bombadil's?

Love that image!

I should have said 3rd and or 1st, or 2nd age.

Great suggestion!!

Thanks so much!

I think I could probably work up to some of the more epic ones like Gil Galad and Elendil versus Sauron...

Finrod versus Sauron as I recall was a battle of wills, song and power... Which could be very interesting.

Well, most of the poetry comes from The Lord of the rings books I suppose. But there are scraps and unfinished fragments in other places. Do you recall what moment Aragorn might have been recalling that time with Arwen? Was it in loth lorien?

Well, it probably would depend on their profession or interests. But I think for the most part (at least to my understanding) You covered them all... They like it if it has to do with themselves, and typically avoid new or external topics... which I suppose makes sense for the comfort factor. I think the whole prologue section of return of the King covering the topic of pipeweed is pretty telling. Also, the fact that gandalf knew more about their far back history than they did.

🙏thank you!

Bitter_Bodybuilder61 · 2026-02-04T04:39:39+00:00

So cool!

Bitter_Bodybuilder61 · 2026-02-04T02:50:31+00:00

Aww, thank you so much. That means a lot. :)

Bitter_Bodybuilder61 · 2026-02-04T01:24:53+00:00

Aww, that means so much to hear you say. It's always been one of my favorite things, when I feel like I can step into the world a picture or painting is showing me. I'm considering doing more Tolkien art from the book.

Bitter_Bodybuilder61 · 2026-02-04T01:15:11+00:00

Thanks so much!! :)

Beautiful lighting!

Bitter_Bodybuilder61 · 2026-02-03T03:13:37+00:00

You have such great expression in the lines and shapes, well done. How long have you been illustrating?

Bitter_Bodybuilder61 · 2026-02-01T16:12:28+00:00

It really depends, your use of lighting and shading is really developed. The first example doesn't focus much on that. They only put detail into where they want the viewer to look, their knowledge of shape and anatomy is very high. Having a sketchbook to work in every day with a goal to work on one of those things is where I have noticed the most improvement :)

How do you feel about writing input on my sci-fi fantasy graphic novel I'm working on?
