art-of-the-dwarves:

Further concept art from Alan Lee for The Hobbit Film, from the book “The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey Chronicles.”

These drawings also appear as concepts for the portraits found inside Gloin’s Locket, so it might be safe to assume the above are drawings of a young Gimli and his mother.

tolkienianos:   Círdan was a Telerin Elf, one of the highest of those who were not transported to Valinor but became known as the Sindar, the Grey-elves; he was akin to Olwë, one of the two kings of the Teleri, and lord of those who departed over the Great Sea. He was thus also akin to Elwë, Olwë’s elder brother, acknowledged as high-king of all the Teleri in Beleriand, even after he withdrew to the guarded realm of Doriath. But Círdan and his people remained in many ways distinct from the rest of the Sindar. They retained the old name Teleri (in later Sindarin Eorm Telir, or Telerrim) and remained in many ways a separate folk, speaking even in later days a more archaic language. The Noldor called them the Falmari, ‘wave-folk’, and the other Sindar Falathrim ‘people of the foaming shore’. “Last Writings” - The Peoples of Middle-earth - HoME - J.R.R. Tolkien

ar-feiniel: Ted Nasmith: Tuor is Led by the Swans to Vinyamar In F.A. 495 Tuor passed through Nevrast and became the first Man to reach the shores of Belegaer, the Great Sea, and felt for the first time the sea-longing that would stay with him the rest of his life. He lingered by Belegaer until the autumn, and then after receiving another sign from Ulmo followed seven swans southward. These led him to the abandoned city of Vinyamar where long ago Turgon had dwelt and, at the behest of Ulmo, left a sword, armour and a shield bearing the device of a white swan on a blue field. Tuor took these arms and made his way to the shore. Then during a great storm the Lord of Waters finally appeared to Tuor directly, ordering him to seek the city of Gondolin, and giving him a cloak that had a power to hide him from foes.

nina-porsche-c: I am unbelievably jealous of authors like this. Entire worlds appear in their minds.
