Description
They say thereβs a little crooked innbehind an old grey hill,
Where they brew a beer so very brown
The man in the moon himself comes down,
And sometimes drinks his fill.
And there the ostler has a cat
Who plays of five-stringed fiddle;
Mine host a little dog so clever
He laughs in any joke whatever,
And sometimes in the middle.
J.R.R. Tolkien

Aww, this is lovely! I love seeing the Durin boys with their fiddles. His expression is just so joyful.
Also, I really appreciate the fact that you clearly did your research and used a reference to make sure that he's holding instrument and bow correctly! As a violinist, I find it really distracting when that sort of thing gets drawn wrong. Nice work!

I did a lot of research actually! I think I studied every picture of David Garrett before I started to sketch, haha Β I'm glad it paid off though, it's a huge compliment what you wrote, especially knowing you're a violinist yourself!

Looking at pictures of David Garrett--such a painful task, too.

The puffy sleeves are perfect. Silk, braids and violin - the crownbeauty of Erebor is Middle-earth's fashion icon.Β
Beautiful colours and atmosphere.
And Filis smile... What is he up for?

Thank you for your kind words!
The smile? I think he's just thinking about Thranduil in his small clothes Β

... while he's playing "All the little things on earth", seemlessly leading over toΒ "You can't always get what you want" followed by "Big boys don't cry"
I laugehd for minutes. So hard, i nearly choked. Really. *wipes away tears of laughter*
I'll never get that picture out of my head
If you ever run out of ideas: I would looove to see Thrandycandy in smalls.
You made my day.Β

I'm glad it made you smile I even googled if the songs you mention have violin versions. And you know what? They do!
Hmm, I connected "All the little things on earth" and Thrandy in his smalls and that's something I wouldn't like to draw, sorry! (Oh, the pictures in my head! )
