I got a few requests for this. I never got book 2 or 3 signed. I had moved away from urban to rural.

Another sketch of Hobbiton, down in New Zealand. Sketching from online pics and videos until I can visit for myself and sketch in person!

Perhaps the better place to post!

Met Dave Wenzel at the local comic shop in Middletown CT 1989. I was 12. We talked for 30+ minutes. He is a very nice man. Drew a Gandalf along with a signature.

After designing patterns for hobbits, I really wanted to make a hobbit house. I can improve a lot in the future but I’m kind of proud of myself because I didn’t think it was possible to make a good hobbit house in crochet. So it’s shire but in winter. ❄️ What do you kind souls think?
Note: Those reindeers are not made in crochet — I had them as ornaments so I decided to use them for the photo shoot.

It's this one:

It says it is NTSC (although I believe Blu Rays are A/B/C), which would suggest that it wouldn't work.

But it seems to be the only extended Blu Ray trilogy that I can find which includes the behind the scenes content. Does this mean that there isn't a UK version that includes the behind the scenes content?

​"In a great hall with pillars hewn out of the living stone sat the Elvenking on a chair of carven wood. On his head was a crown of berries and red leaves, for the autumn was come again..." — The Hobbit

​After 2 months of non-continuous work, I finally finished my hand-sculpted replica of Thranduil’s crown (inspired by Weta Workshop’s cinematic design) along with a custom Mirkwood root architectural column to anchor it.

​Everything was sculpted and painted entirely from scratch from the gnarled crown branches and autumn foliage to the weathered Elven stone texture of the display stand.

​Hope you all enjoy the Woodland Realm display! Let me know what you think.

Took a break from sketching actual Hobbiton Hobbit holes to do my take on this classic scene:

I am in dire need of finding appendix 8: the assembling of the dwarves online. While I have the dvds, my player broke.

Does an online version exist? Specifically the assembling of the dwarves.
