#shelob

[mosseater1973]

when you’re watching the lord of the rings, you don’t really get the full picture of just how insane it is that sam was able to defeat shelob in battle—in the book, tolkien spends literal paragraphs describing how ancient and powerful shelob is, how her skin is so tough that no warrior (NO warrior, like ever !) has been able to pierce it.

like sure sam had the phial of galadriel, but this guy is 3 and a half feet tall with absolutely zero training and he sent shelob crawling back into her little cave with nothing but pure rage. like OMG??? literal chihuahua of hobbits istg

Seven more! Hehehe 🕷🕸 Probably the last few from LOTR (if I'm not tempted to draw Ghân-buri-Ghân, I may be) but because I'm continuing this project till Easter I'll draw few guys from Hobbit and Silmarillion in the days left. Also, I’ve decided I'll be selling the originals after I finish all the drawings. But if there is any character you'd like to have in particular you can start reserving them now. By messaging me here or on [email protected] :^)

Shelob, Wormtongue and King of the Dead are left from this bunch!

The size of the drawings is A6 and prices from 50 to 80USD (shipping included). Also as last year with the dog drawings this year too - all the earnings will be sent to charities. Thank you! 🌿

Rest of the characters are here and here and here and here!

I truly think that the greatest of all of Samwise Gamgee's great deeds is the mortal blows to Shelob. Shelob the spawn of Ungoliant. Ungoliant who destroyed the trees in Valinor at Morgoth's bidding. This deed ranks above even Gandalf's slaying of the Balrog as far as sheer badassery goes.

Here is this little Hobbit who's spent his life gardening and just admiring elves as a thing in songs and far above him doing a deed so great that any elf lord in all the history of Arda would bow to him for it. The orcs thought there was a mighty elf warrior in the passage and they weren't too far off. Any ancient hero of elven lore would have ranked slaying the spawn of Ungoliant as one if not the greatest of his achievements.

There may be no more amazing deed of heroism in all the trilogy than this. Shelob the last descendant of the most foul of all creatures brought down by Samwise Gamgee. It's even more epic than Eowyn and Merry slaying the Witch-King for this is a remnant of a far more ancient evil. An evil that never was anything but evil. No tragic seduction by the Dark Lord here. Just the spawn of the light eating wholly evil giant spider who terrified even Morgoth.

I believe the core differences between the two dark lords of Arda can be summed up with two facts:

One Dark Lord almost got himself eaten by the resident giant demon spider.

The other Dark Lord referred to the resident giant demon spider as "his cat" and occasionally sent her his servants to eat to keep her happy and to amuse himself.

Late evening. Bilbo sits by the fireplace and reads a newspaper. Suddenly baby Frodo, who should have been asleep, runs out of his room. 

Bilbo: What happened?

Frodo: *in tears* There is a huge spider in my room, I'm scared!

Bilbo: *rolls up the newspaper* You're a big boy, go deal with him yourself, here's a weapon for you.   

Frodo: No! Please help me! 

Bilbo: *sighs* Ok, let's go see your very big and scary spider.

In Frodo's room, the window is broken, and Shelob hangs above the ceiling, occupying almost the entire space.

Frodo: *huddles close to Bilbo and trembles*.

Bilbo: *swallows nervously* Well, newspaper won't be enough here.

#WAKE UP BABES NEW RAREPAIR JUST DROPPED #none of you have any idea how many insane headcanons i have about shelob (and sauron in association) #in my head she's the daughter of morgoth and ungoliant—making her half-vala and half-void monster #justifying the ability to take on a more 'humanoid' form instead of a giant spider at will #and so basically sauron falls head over heels for his boss's daughter and her with her father's lieutenant #it's an incredibly intense and toxic relationship that is on and off over the years #rekindling tenfold in the second age when sauron returns to middle-earth and forges the one ring 😳 #tolkien #the silmarillion #silm #lord of the rings #lotr #headcanons #sauron #shelob #sauron x shelob #(what would their ship name be...saurlob? sheron???) #art #my art #merilles
