Description They say there’s a little crooked inn

behind 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


P.s. Please don't ask me about these puffy sleeves, it looks like even my inspiration has a silly humor sometimes!

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! )
