Webtoon/A03 /Instagram/Tumblr Sideblog
Chapter 13 of my comic adaptation of the Hobbit, "the Necromancer!" I put the title page at the end this time for Reasons, though I might change it back to the beginning later. Below the readmore are my "translator's notes' on why I made certain changes to the source material (ex why Thror is here instead of Thrain), if you're interested:
Gandalf’s art style is inspired by the work of Lotte Reiniger. I chose this for a variety of reasons: because it really captures the aesthetic of a 'classic fairy tale battle of light and dark,' because the smoky backgrounds remind me of the way Gandalf often does magic with smoke/fire, and because it's entirely monochromatic/'grey.' The only other note I have on this chapter is that, as I mentioned before, I’ve altered the timeline so that Thror is the ringbearer dwarf captured by the Necromancer (not Thrain.) The “in universe” explanation for the change is that Tolkien and I are both translating the Red Book of Westmarch & other ancient texts, but came to different conclusions. The history of the dwarves is especially different because Bilbo wasn’t as interested in political machinations, there was misinformation spread by the Elf-King of Mirkwood, and even the Council of the Wise may have spread misinformation to conceal the fate of the dwarven Ring of Power. There are two “out of universe” reasons I changed it: The first is that I wanted to explore a timeline where Thror vanished before the mountain fell, Thrain died during the fall of the Lonely Mountain, and Thorin became king while leading his people into exile. The second was to draw another link between Smaug and the Necromancer. Thror vanishes with the Ring….and it’s only then, after Erebor lost what strength the Ring gave them, that Smaug invades. The only question is, “why did Thror bring the map and key with him to Mirkwood in this version?” My joke answer is that it’s not relevant to Bilbo’s journey. My real answer is that none of the characters will ever know. Maybe they were so precious he always kept them on his person; maybe he was planning to strike some secret deal with the Elf-King; maybe the Necromancer used his influence over Thror’s Ring of Power to manipulate him into bringing him the map and key, for sinister reasons of his own. (It’s probably the last one.)

I wasn't happy with the way that I drew him the first few times, so I fucked around with body styles a little bit. I wanted to make his torso more boxy.
My brother also suggested that I give him claws, so I thought "hey, why not." This was also an excuse to try and color the outlines a little bit.

In vc earlier discussing random ideas.
Friend mention what if his hatbox was left behind somehow use it to communicate onto the former necromancer he affiliated with. Gives him tips how to unbanish etc so he can get that pitiful revenge..
TW: I want to write messed up stuff with blood and to usually help with entitys like that he would deeply sacrifice alot of his own blood vein wise in order for the magick to work.
if not make sense hard type out everything from vocals and had not sleep for day or two. Take lazy concept sketches.

My dnd group and I have been playing Curse of Strahd for a few months now, and all of our characters have had a few Tarokka card readings. I thought it would be fun to design the main cards we all pulled, and I wanted to really base them off of our characters.
So, to start us off, we have Belladonna Wixx, @wintert-ide ‘s necromantic wizard/ cleric who hates death, but is also dying herself due to a pretty awful curse (long story). She is the older sister to my boy Atropa and the two siblings are really close and basically attached at the hip.
A lot has happened already in our game, but we have a long way to go still. Barovia is a scary place and we are all just trying to make it out alive.
Loving every second of it!

Incredible idea right there, Heiadoze couldn't have wished for a better gift!

I sent him back. Back where? Back to your world, or should I say, what used to be your world.
