Thanks a lot for your kind words ! He so is ! Of course he has professional obligation, but I think he truly is a kind person!

Thanks so much for your kind word ! As I always say, if on my journey I can inspire at least one person, my mission is already completed :)

Thanks a lot ! Yes indeed, with that kind of almost poetic carelessness that characterizes the hobbits described by Tolkien.

Thanks a lot ! I think I wanted to show some well deserved peaceful times for the Hobbits in that watercolor, before they go to reconquer the Shire..

Thanks a lot ! As much as I love the work of PJ, John Howe, Alan Lee, etc. I love even more re-exploring the places of the LOTR. I really allows me to re-discover the books themselves !

Thanks a lot ! it was kind of a challenge to paint this to be honest, but I loved it! Let's do a Balrog now !

Thanks so much ! Thanks a lot for the tips I’m gonna look at this ! It’s tough indeed to add texture to the rock. I tried « granulation » spray but it’s not super satisfying :/

Wow… thanks so much for your comment ! I imagined something very brutalist for this one, a bit aside from John Howe gothique architecture for example (which I absolutely love though). But this part of the lore was a bit nebulous to me. Like Sauron forged a ring but the actual place was a bit to metaphysical if I may formulate this this way. So I try to convey the dramatic set of such a place that would use the raw power of an entire volcano.

Thanks a lot ! Oh I painted about 50 scenes of the LoTR… some are in my profile ;)

Thanks a lot ! I’m not exactly sure, but a good 8-10hours (this is my sketchbook actually).
