Dwalin’s Regal Armour By Edward Denton

  O slender as a willow-wand! O clearer than clear water!      O reed by the living pool! Fair River-daughter!      O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after!      O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves’ laughter!’

“At the end of the second week in September a cart came in through Bywater from the direction of Brandywine Bridge in broad daylight. An old man was driving it all alone. He wore a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, and a silver scarf. He had a long white beard and bushy eyebrows that stuck out beyond the brim of his hat.”

i drew these two lil guys (originally trailing behind gandalf from a few posts down) and thought that they would be cute as a sticker (that i'll probably never actually make) anyways Aragorn sewed the hobbit's names onto their clothing which they thought was cute but really it's cause Legolas and Gimli couldn't remember which was which and kept on making up increasingly terrible nicknames.

legolas: hey champ merry: i'm sorry???

The Hobbit Cosplay/Art References

Dear Fellow Cosplayers of the Tolkien persuasion,

Wellington is currently doing this “Costume Trail” thing which is fantastic. What they’ve done is taken the costumes of the main characters from The Hobbit movies and placed them around Wellington, NZ, for people to look at. There’s usually one at each location but some places like The Roxy and Embassy theatre have three.

So, naturally, I am doing the thing but I’m also doing it with a fairly powerful camera to take hi-res photos of the costumes as references. What I am going to do once I’ve got good photos of all of them: upload the pictures to tumblr, one character costume per post. I’ll upload the ones I’ve seen already but I won’t get photos of all of them until probably Christmas or Boxing Day.

One minor thing to be noted: The costumes are housed in cases with super reflective glass which gives the photographer in me nightmares. I do my best taking the photos [including making my mother hold up table cloths to block the light, lunatics that we are] and with photoshop but alas, I can only do so much. Detail shots are fine because I can easily block the glare but full body shots are dicey.

Characters being displayed:

Thorin

Bilbo

Oin

Gloin

Bifur

Bombur

Bofur

Fili Part 1 & Part 2

Kili

Dwalin

Balin

Nori

Dori

Ori

Gandalf

Legolas

Tauriel

Radagast

Elf Lieutenant

Elf Soldier

Bard

So if anyone would like detail photographs to help build their Hobbit cosplays, watch this space. You can message me for extra photos if needed.
