This is where I'll be posting my artwork, and maybe some writing based in Tolkien's Legendarium.
I don't know how to re-size the image

Wow I love this a lot! More please, and I would definitely love to take a peek at some of the writing too! Welcome back to the plaza Troygan, you have already blessed us with such self-made content.

Thanks
@KingODuckingham As of now my current Arda-themed portfolio mostly consists of minions, so if anyone has any suggestions for less-evil characters I could draw, feel free to share.

Hey these are great! The Hobbit especially -- who's the minion in the second one?

@Androthelm That's Mauren the Proclaimer, he's a spy, scout, and messenger for the armies of Minas Morgul.
You can read about his biography in the Mordor Character thread in the RP section.

Hey! Welcome back to the Cottage, it's lovely to see a new art thread. Aerlinn Mordagnir here underneath the cat get up, if that name rings a bell.
I love your Bilbo--so jaunty! Is this last sketch of one of your Plaza characters?

@MEOW Nah, just some uruk practice I did.
Anyway, here's an old piece I did, trying to draw elves

Cool. I'll check it out (I've played a minion...almost never. Been meaning to for a while, though.)

Your elves and orcs are good! I think you’ve got a pretty good sense of proportions for the most part. The bodies seem like they’re actual physical bodies than could exist/function.

Cool sketches, @Troygan ! I remember you! I believe I used one of your sketches to make a banner for The Never Ending Story /Goblin Town in Wilderland. I still have it. Good to see you back!

I love the orcs you've drawn both sets are absolutely amazing I like the expressions on the last trio the best I have to admit especially the feminine looking one and the shorter one they are great expressions. Really like the hobbit piece as well as the colour piece. Can't wait to see more!

@Troygan - it's so great to have you back and sharing your art with us! I remember your old Cottage threads quite well. Of what you've posted here so far, I especially love the hobbit in the OP! Hope to see you around some more!
