I decided to draw Gloin next because he's SO DWARFY. Look at that majestic mane! Also, he's Gimli's father which gave him about +10 to his "I-Must-Draw-This" score.

And this is another one I'm offering on my Etsy page, its a little bit less than Thorin's since it took less time. (I think I struggled more with making Thorin more recognizable).

Other Dwarves:
Thorin
Balin
Dwalin
Bifur
Bofur

Right? Tolkein was a crazy guy. I think it's pronounced something like "Grow-In" with two syllables. But still. Haha

Nice!!!!!!!!!!
I knew this was the father of Gimli!!!!!!!!
I've always suspected that since I first read the book.

Yep! I was so excited when I first read the Hobbit and figured it out.

haha! I didn't even realize that he was Gimli's father when I was reading the books/watching the movie! Great portrait!

I know! I love how everyone in the Tolkein-verse is interconnected and related.

lol it just makes you want to see the family reunion! I guess that's why when they introduce someone they say "Gimli son of Gloin, son of Groin" I guess they stop two generations back. If not they would still be sitting there saying everyone they are related too! O.o

Hahaha they seriously would! Tolkein was so crazy I'm pretty sure he has all the relations figured out way back to the first dwarves, humans, and elves. They'd be there for a while...
