After three months of work, another painting, which I wanted to do especially for my stand at this year's Tolkien Days Germany, is finished now. Are you going to visit the Tolkien Days, too? If so, come visit me. I would be very happy about a chat. 馃槉

With three feathers of Kokko.
My mystery sticker design made for Tracon 2023! Thank you all who participated in the sticker rally! I hope you all had fun and enjoyed your prizes and collecting! My leftover stickers will be available in my sh0p and upcoming events later.
The artist team decided to make sticker designs based on the theme of the event, which was forces of nature. I chose thunder and ended up with this design. I originally wanted it to be cohesive with the Blessings of the Old Gods, but I think I found something new here, something I really like and want to explore more.

I鈥檝e always been abit snooty about using acrylic paints but seeing the amazing Geisha paintings by @piddy1972 and how long my oil paintings seem to be taking I thought I鈥檇 get a set and give them a whirl. Here鈥檚 a little study. Does anyone know the name of this wrestler? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #art #artist #painting #tradtionalart #traditionalpainting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #paint #illustration #illustrator #thomaselliott #wrestling #wrestler #muscularman #muscles #bodybuilding https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq-svicq_M0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Apparently I am stuck pretty deeply in Lord of the Rings because while the title fits I can only read is as the tower of the white wizard and not just a white tower that belongs to a wizard. I don't think it's a serious problem though. I wanted to give the impression of a tower shrouded in mystery without going too much into the architectural details. It took me maybe two hours to finish it after wrestling my paints for a slightest tint for the background instead of going full pink.

Meine Version von Yavanna: Eine der 14 F眉rsten und F眉rstinnen der Valar aus Tolkiens Werken. Yavannas gr枚脽te Sch枚pfung waren die Zwei B盲ume des Lichts (Telperion und Laurelin), welche lange Zeit die L盲nder von Valinor erhellten. Ich m枚chte das Bild noch mit Aquarellfarben bemalen. Aber vorher habe ich lieber noch eine "Sicherungskopie" per Foto gemacht. 馃槈

My version of Yavanna: One of 14 Lords and Queens of the Valar from Tolkien's world. Yavanna's greatest creation were the two Trees of Light (Telperion and Laurelin), which illuminated the lands of Valinor for a long time. I will paint the picture with watercolor paints. But before that, I preferred to make a "backup copy" with a photo. 馃槈
