*crumbles into dust after finishing this* Thank you for reading! This The Hobbit webcomic adaptation thing takes a lot of effort to put together and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate every comment. I also really appreciate the people who’ve spread the word of this comic to their friends! <3

And finally, we’re at the Song of the Lonely Mountain! Within Tolkien’s canon, The Hobbit is an in-universe book that was “written” by Bilbo Baggins, who occasionally lies/embellishes/exaggerates things. The tonal differences between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are explained by Bilbo and Frodo/Sam being different kinds of storytellers, with different relationships to “the truth.” This idea is the core of how I’m adapting the novel!  Bilbo is an unreliable narrator who is literally ‘drawing’ from his own limited experiences;  the different art styles reflect the different perspectives of other characters.   The “dwarf art style” in this chapter is inspired by stonework/metalwork in general— but especially by a mix of art deco, Celtic art, and European folk art. 

The central tension of the comic is between Bilbo and Thorin, who each have wildly different ideas about what kind of  story they’re in. Thorin is in a grand fantasy epic, while Bilbo is in a lighthearted children’s book adventure.  The tragedy is, obviously, that only one side of the story ever gets to be fully told.

On a sillier note, a few years ago I had my first gay crush on a lesbian who sang while playing the piano. This chapter is dedicated to the piano lesbian. I hope they’re doing well, wherever they are. XD

I think I might need a bit of a break but I’m hoping for the next chapter, titled “Dawn,” to arrive on January 13th. And your comments/support really do help motivate me to get more done! ^_^

Despite their abrasive exteriors and distinct personalities—Sanemi’s hot-headed and impulsive demeanor contrasting with Obanai’s reserved, critical nature—they exhibit a bond strengthened by their mutual rivalry. […]. Obanai, known for his sharp tongue, rarely directs his criticism toward Sanemi, and Sanemi, for his part, values Obanai’s discipline, seeing it as a challenge to match his precision and surpass his limits.

the speed and grace of a cat… I SEE IT

To the people who think Sanemi is desperate for Kanae's attention and is always casing after her...

Lately my mind has been filled with thoughts about the Demon Slayer AU, but in the setting and atmosphere of the animated films of the Ghilbi studio-

"There be none of Beauty's daughters With a magic like thee; And like music on the waters Is thy sweet voice to me..." Music on the Waters by Qntal Sketch by my lovely friend Neon Naga, big thanks to him for drawing my girl!

I'm going crazy, please listen to the song Volchya Luna by Melnitsa and tell me it's not Sanemi

It's a Russian song, but I can provide you with a translation without any problems!
