Dwalin’s Regal Armour by Edward Denton
“With the green theme in his armour Peter looked at Dwalin’s battle axe and suggested that we should give it blades that were made out of greenstone, or jade. In New Zealand it is called pounamu and it has cultural significance and value. The Maori people, native to New Zealand, carve it into jewellery and also make weapons out of it. It’s a beautiful stone, translucent and with flecks and veins of colour through it, so it made for a very eye-catching weapon. People from outside New Zealand probably wouldn’t catch the reference, and the films are fantasy after all, but for those of us who know what greenstone is and its specialness here it was cool to see Dwalin wielding an axe made of it.
A dagger for Dwalin came through as a fairly late request, but having just designed his greenstone axe it made sense to have it match“.

I’ve reprinted this Smaug risograph a few times now and I’m really digging the HOT fluorescent orange on brown paper in this batch 🤌 These have been restocked and are up in my shop!
I have been listening to the Hobbit audiobook while working. Bad idea. I didn't work, I drew Bilbo and his fancy home ♥

Finished The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday! I'm so proud of myself. I haven't read seriously in a long time, only a random book here and there. And look at me now, already finished with The Hobbit and Fellowship! I'm doing really good, and on my way to finish finally reading this classic.
