First of all, I thank you all for your art, comments, good suggestions and support. Have a nice Christmas and New Year 2012!

Year 2011 was a horrible blow to my freetime activity of drawing - I'm in the last step in my studies, year and a half left if all go according to plans. Next year will be better for my hobby, and I plan to draw a lot. Most important one to me is "finish" my version of the Hobbit (before the movie). It will be a interesting mission,  I hope that I learn some new tricks.

The Hobbit or There and Back Again -serie (planned illustrations, will be updated)

- "The Hobbit or There and Back Again" - done, "cover"
- Unexpected Party
- Trollshaw
- Misty Mountains
- Goblin Cave
- Riddles in the Dark
- Beorn
- Mirkwood
- Arrival to Laketown
- Lonely Mountain
- "The Dragon is Coming" - done, older work
- Death of Smaug
- The Battle of Five Armies
- "Beorn Finds Thorin" - done, older work
- Thorins Farewell

Other themes (will be updated)

- Ents and Huorns
- Númenor (one sketch)

Digital

I'll continue drawing digitally with tablet, as I bought myself a new one (cheap Wacom, lets see how this will end) for Christmas to replace the previous one ("Trust", hah) that broke right after quarantee time was over. Themes are related to post-apocalyptic scenarios, like usual. Inspired by Metro 2033, Fallout serie, The Road, S.T.A.L.K.E.R serie.

Frohe Pfingstfeiertage/Happy whitesun ;)

(I couldn't find any finnish translation for it. Do Finns even celebrate this holiday? In germany we usually don't, we have free (means no school and many people don't have to work) and usually families are sitting together and eating and that's it. I guess people who are in the church are also going there but since I'm not baptist or anything I don't know it for sure ;))


Greets from (the very, very warm) Germany, Martina.


Edit: Hehe...you're not really wearing socks to sandals, or? And thanks very much for the card, was an awesome surprise :D

I hope you had a nice Whitsunday (or Helluntai in Finnish). Here this is one of these "religious holidays" we won't celebrate (it's only this Sunday). No one really remembers what religious message this day has, I had to check it too. Fake it till you make it, I guess.

Nowadays Helluntai is mostly remembered (by media, ha) because it is believed to be the last day of Spring to search for girl/boyfriend for summer: "Ei heilaa Helluntaina, ei heilaa koko kesänä." (no partner by Helluntai, no partner during summer). Birch leaves are also big enough for vasta (Saunaquast) in end of May so it also means first proper sauna times.

Speaking of sauna, also here it has been very warm lately (+20 c in shadow).

Fear not, I know the summer etiquette. But I kinda foresee what will be the topic in tabloids during this summer, once again: topic like socks with sandals can cause a scandal and then we read about unfashionable men & women in Finland and how men should learn from "our fashionable brothers " Swedes and women from "gorgeous" Russians. Rrgh.

You're welcome. I don't know if the greeting went right, I'm really rusty in German nowadays.

Great work. I really appreciate your atmosphere and mood. Captures the northern European and earthy qualities that Tolkien presents in his books. Very satisfying visual representations of that world.

Well, I'm here to offer my view of Tolkien's Middle-Earth and I'm glad you like what you see here :). I have been trying to concetrate on events that aren't so popular among artists.

Thank you very much :bow:

Well, technically no as this is only a hobby to me and I haven't even considered publishing my works in any form. One exception is Polish Tolkien fanzine called Aeglos - I gave permission to publish illustrations they asked for in Aeglos numbers 14 and 16 and in exchange I got two free copies (too bad I dont understand Polish a bit ;)).

Few times people have mixed my works with Ian Millers illustrations, which is cool because I'm a huge fan of Miller's works :)
