Friday has come, and with it some fantastic Hobbit and LOTR art by Ulla Thynell. This artist caught my eye while I was perusing the interwebs . . . I hope you like the work as much as I do. Really there are two things I appreciate about these pieces: first, they're not the normal digital art we see so much of nowadays––not that there is anything wrong with digital work, it's just refreshing to see some good-old hand drawn stuff now and again; second, Ulla's style reminds me of Tolkien's own work . . . that that is really fun to see. Jump past the break and enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI'm especially drawn to the Treebead one and Yavanna... <3
Agreed. I really enjoyed the Yavanna painting. Gotta admit, I think my favorite is the one of Bilbo and the dwarves at the edge of Mirkwood.
DeleteI really admire the dedication, genius, and skill that went into the making of those pictures. Thinking about the time and other valuable resources that would be needed to do something like that. . . . Just amazing. Simply and purely stunning.
