The River Dweller’s Hut – #WorldsForgotten

After a brief hiatus –

Welcome to my #WorldsForgotten series, we’re back on track with the project but with a few minor changes!

Every fortnight I will be posting a new ink illustration accompanied by a short story/description just to set the scene; the rest will be left to the imagination of the viewer!

The River Dweller’s Hut – Ink on Mixed Media Paper – 4″ x 6″

Many folk are rather wary of the river dwellers but those who know them well know that they are a hardworking people, always willing to trade goods and share stories of their exploits on the waters.

The river dweller’s have built entire towns on water; usually large lakes in some parts of the world but there are also many isolated huts scattered along the rivers and estuaries allowing the inhabitants to work alone and in a self-sustaining manner.

They Were Once Men…

“They are the Nazgûl, Ringwraiths, neither living or dead. At all times they feel the presence of the ring…drawn to the power of the one..they will never stop hunting you.”

– Aragorn explaining the Nazgûl to Frodo, Pippin, Merry and Sam

Some time ago, I began working on a piece depicting the scene of the attack at Weathertop. I trawled through reference material and put together a few different elements in order to come up with a composition that I liked.

The outline roughed in, the main elements in place, the piece was abandoned as I began work on different projects like ‘The Road Goes Ever On’ and ‘The Grey Pilgrim’.

Gudeshu Mountain – #WorldsForgotten

Welcome to my #WorldsForgotten series, every week I will be posting a new ink illustration accompanied by a short story/description just to set the scene; the rest will be left to the imagination of the viewer!

This week I’ve taken a slightly different approach. There is not a single shred of evidence of man-made anything, anywhere in the scene. We’re going to explore for a while the far eastern lands of my created world.

Middle-earth Wanderings…

First Things First…

I’m on YouTube!!!

By all means if you like my artwork please give me a subscribe on YouTube as I’m going to be putting together a lot of exciting new projects to live stream and make time-lapses of.

I’m even going to stretch to a bit of vlogging when the time comes…

Now for the abundance of new art!

Farlurst Fort – #WorldsForgotten

The Illustration

Farlurst Fort – Ink on Mixed Media Paper – 4″ x 6″

The fort had seen better days and that’s for sure.

Abandoned and left by those that once kept watch on the lands around it.

Left to withstand one last battle; the final siege that those old stones would ever see.

Left to face the two biggest enemies of all such structures…

Left to become a casualty of war; another heedless victim to the disintegrating effect caused by exposure to the harsh weather and the passing of time.
