A while ago I started to think what the view would be from Bilbo’s front door if you reversed the Shire map (by Tolkien)…

This of course led me to the illustration by Tolkien of the Hill…

Which of course meant I needed to know how those buildings would look from the other side, the easiest solution of course is to do a quick mock up in 3D…

In the end, sitting doodling was an easier solution to getting the image from my head onto paper. Of course now I’ve finished there’s a few things I’d like to change next time, and a version you could manipulate in 3D would be fun, so you can step out of the door yourself 😉
