Aichard Armitage (Thorin) being fitted for his armor. It's just too cool not to draw.

He looks like an actual king...

Thorin Oakenshield Fanart For the Kiddo

My older son underwent a minor surgery and had to stay at home for a few days. As a motherly instinct, I felt need to over-coddle him. So one of the presents I gave him is this drawing of Thorin Oakenshield, printed on a t-shirt.

On the making of this drawing:

1) I studied a screen capture from The Hobbit AUJ for gesture reference. I couldn't find the exact pose that I wanted to draw, so I used my new knowledge from illustration classes to draw a gesture from a different angle.

2) I battled with coloring the thing (...), and decided to lasso every part and paint bucket it, adding highlight and shadow later on a different layer.

3) The background picture for the text is actually a painting of the Lonely Mountain I made a few months ago. I didn't want to use any copyrighted material.
