Fancy Shoes. So I’m switching up my Thursdays in August and I’m posting old art for #TBT! (Can you tell I have another vacation coming up?) I had been searching for the comic plates and character studies I’d done for a LOTR comic anthology ages ago but I ran across this piece and decided to go with it!

This is an illustration I did to accompany a story I wrote… ten years ago! If you can’t tell (ahaha) I was going through a Beardsley phase. It was inked with India Ink and nibs on Paris Bleedproof paper and you know what? Quality materials make a difference! I dug this out of my big box of old art and neither the paper nor the ink had changed colour or faded! That’s some archival quality stuff!

More Hobbit art and fics are coming! I hope you don’t mind my doing this TBT thing once in a while.
