Silliness and Stuff
Okay, the ‘stuff’ first, I’ll be uploading the weekly challenge backlog shortly, well as soon as I’ve found the book with them all in :-/ Now for the silliness. I’ve been busy painting landscapes, and generally being far too serious for my own good. So, when I turned to the theme of the month over on John Howe’s website I had to do something a little more light hearted. The theme this month is ‘Under Sea & Under Wave’, and for this I scribbled a quick Photoshop picture.
When Looney Tunes illustrated the Silmarillion…
they may have misread the part about Ulmo – here, Elmer (lord of the seas) makes his way to Tuor.
With apologies to Tolkien, Looney Tunes, Tolkien fans, and generally everyone else.
Winter Is Coming
Another month another theme of the month to think about over at John-Howe.com
Painting Niggle
Trying to think of painting leaves without thinking about Niggle (as in Niggle from Tree & Leaf by J. R. R. Tolkien) and his tree is almost impossible for me, and so when I saw the theme of the month was Into the Green over at John Howe’s website my mind turned to Niggle and what he would paint. For some reason I did not want to paint his tree, or a segment of it, but illustrate him painting part of the tree. I probably spent more time on the leaves than I should have done, but it was quite a fun painting to do so I’m not complaining

Stop Motion silliness ;-)
We decided to play around with some stop motion, it’s not something we’ve tried before but it was just a bit of fun.
