I hope the wonderful, supportive community here will enjoy hearing the news that my second book, A Shire Walking-Party: Paintings Inspired by Tolkien's Little Folk, was published today by Uppsala Books in both hardcover and paperback and is now listed on Amazon in the US and will be coming soon to other sellers and in many lands. With over 60 paintings, the book invites you on an immersive walk through hobbit homelands, history, and culture in the place J.R.R. Tolkien said he felt most at home. Thank you to all the kind folks here who are so supportive of my work. You can read advance praise of the book from Ted Nasmith, Tom Shippey, Michael D.C. Drout, Alan Sisto, Graham Judd, Tom Hillman, Sara Brown, and many more on my website today or on the Amazon listing here:https://www.amazon.com/Shire-Walking-Party-Paintings-Inspired-Tolkiens/dp/1961361388/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3NGIOYMBQBPZ9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4GuxuXW-tsoPNKDrEbbaareJQKkrQFjM-84W3aP7_yM.9GwvwF1H2eVuh5FYmgr-WITUXiohRx490OnrRfNsTiU&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+shire+walking+party&qid=1787843124&s=books&sprefix=a+shire+walking+part%2Cstripbooks%2C199&sr=1-1

Introducing Artist Flair: Recognising the Creators in Our Community
32
Upvotes
Hi r/TolkienArt,
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."
This community exists because people love Tolkien's world and the art it inspires. We are lucky that so many of the artists behind that art have chosen to share their work here directly. Today we are pleased to share something we have been working on to better recognise and support the creators among us.
Introducing Artist Flair
From today, verified original artists can apply for Artist Flair. Once approved, your flair appears alongside your username, signalling to the community that you are a genuine, contributing artist.
What Artist Flair unlocks
As a verified artist you will be able to leave a single self-promotion comment on your own OC posts, where you can share links to your portfolio, commissions, shop, or socials. This gives every artist here a meaningful way to connect with the people who love their work.
Why we built it this way
r/TolkienArt has always been a place for art and appreciation, not a marketplace. We wanted to honour that while also recognising that many of our artists are working creators who deserve a space to share what they do beyond this subreddit. The flair system keeps things personal and contextual, tied to real contributions, so the community always knows who they are engaging with.
How to apply
Send a message to the mod team with the subject line 'Artist Flair Application' and include a link to your portfolio or social media showing your work. We will review your application and be in touch.
How to message the mods:
- On desktop scroll down the r/TolkienArt sidebar and click Message the mods under the Moderators section.
- On the app tap the overflow menu (the three dots) in the top right corner of the subreddit page and select Message moderators.
For full details see our wiki: Artist Flair & Self-Promotion
Updates to our Self-Promotion Rules
Alongside the launch of Artist Flair we have updated our self-promotion rules to reflect this new system. Self-promotion is now permitted exclusively through the verified flair system described above. Promotional content in post titles, post bodies, or in the comments of other users' posts remains against the rules.
These changes take effect today. Our full updated rules can be found in the sidebar, and further detail is available in our wiki.
If you have any questions, please reach out via modmail.

Roast Mutton Drawing by me

Upvotes
Drawing I did of my favourite scene from the book that was not in the movie. In the book of The Hobbit in the Roast Mutton chapter, Thorin fights off the trolls using a burning branch from the fire. While this is going on, poor little Bilbo tries to help Thorin by grabbing on to one of the trolls legs. While I do love the way they did this scene in the movie, I wished they would have included this epic moment.

Today, Frodo sees Glorfindel as he appears "upon the other side".

Today, Frodo's last vision before collapsing on the far bank of the Bruinen is of the "almost angelic" Glorfindel as he appears "upon the other side"...the other side of the river and the other side of reality where his shining majesty is a part of the highest things. Tolkien's vision is one of surpassing beauty!

Turns out I draw men better than I draw women, definitely something Iâll need to work on. This sketch took me longer than the rest.
