Mirabella Tuk, a somewhat different kind of hobbit, but well known for her positive and humorous outlook on even the gloomiest of days.
She is based on the story “Gefährten 2.0″ by Elenor-Rohir and one of eight new companions.
Short snippet from the story (I translated it):
The 38-year-old drove her mare into a gallop with a merry song on her lips.
“Run, Nightstar, as long as we still can! We’re late anyway. You can rest once we get to Bilbo.”
The young woman’s appearance was quite unusual: She was a hobbit-woman, which was particularly noticeable by her long, brown curls and the cheerful, natural demeanour. However, what stood out was her rather big appearance for a hobbit and the shoes on her feet. For a hobbit a very rare sight indeed.
Nonetheless, she was friends with Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit that one day just up and went on an adventure with some dwarfs and the old wizard that roamed around the Shire from time to time. He had returned with riches no hobbit had ever seen before and the people quickly ushered whispers of inheriting his thirst for adventure from the old Tuk, his grandfather.
Perhaps, that was the reason why Mira got along with him so well. She also belonged to the Tuks family and with it the call for adventures, but that was not all. It was rumoured that her unusual size was due to the fact that no pure hobbit blood flowed through her veins. Perhaps she would still sit quietly at the stove and live an ordinary, peaceful life, if it hadn’t been for her parents’ death.
She had lost her parents at a very young age, leaving her behind as an orphan, raised by Bilbo Baggins as if she was his own. But that was another story for another day; today she might go on her biggest adventure yet, where her serenity and courage will be tested. Has her previous adventures prepared her enough for what is to come?

Natural Black Hair Tutorial! Usually Black hair is excluded in the hair tutorials which I have seen so I have gone through it in depth because it’s really not enough to tell someone simply, “Black hair is really curly, draw it really curly.“
The next part of Black Hair In Depth will feature styles and ideas for designing characters and I will release it around February. If you would like to see certain styles, please shoot me a message!

a small Texture Tutorial
I’ve been asked a few times about how I use textures, especially gold textures, so I’ve decided to try and do a little tutorial about it. I’ve never really done a tutorial, but I hope it’s easy to understand, since it’s not difficult to apply :)
There are a hundred ways of doing the same thing, this is just one of those ways. For other (BETTER) tutorials explaining more about textures and other ways to use them, I point you all towards the 3 tutorials that taught ME the basics!

art is hard work, in case nobody’s told you today
Art is hard work, and it is often unreasonable to come home from your day job or your school or both and then sit down and expect yourself to be a creative font.
Art is hard work. If it’s especially hard for you today I want to remind you it’s not because you are lazy, but that art is hard work.
