Here’s my costume for the Hobbit themed competition the Finnish Tolkien Society has organized! If you wish to vote for me, gohere and choose number #9. It’s in Finnish, but you just need to choose from the list and press submit! :)
I dressed as a lady dwarf. I had intended to go as Dís, mother of Fíli and Kíli, but the wig I received was a bit too red, so I guess I’m just some dwarf lady in general :) Or maybe Gimli’s mother (with no known name…)

Thorin Oakenshield, being Majestic on Durin’s Day
Thorin Oakenshield.. Essie
makeup/photography..revelio
assistance/location scouting/moral support.. watteflocke&caddyonherway——-
This is possibly Essie’s biggest, most elaborate and most important cosplay. She grew up loving The Hobbit book, even before Lord of the Rings, and long before the films were even thought of. She roleplayed Thorin as a child and his character and personality shaped her into the person she is today. He is not just a majestic sexy Dwarf to fangirl, but one of the most influential fictional characters in her life. In the films, he also happens to have hair very much like Essie’s, so of course she had to cosplay him. But of course, for many years she dreamed of having his “sky-blue cloak with a silver tassel,” as mentioned in the first chapter of The Hobbit. He doesn’t have it in the films, so we designed our own, and while many parts of this cosplay were commissioned, I am proud to say I made the cloak myself, so this is the cosplay for which I finally learned to sew.
We’d like to thank Caddyonherway for her assistance and Watteflocke for choosing the awesome locations at which we did this photoshoot, and we both hope you all love this cosplay as much as we do. All hail majestic Thorin, King under the Mountain! ♥

The Finding of Orcrist
Thorin Oakenshield.. Essie
makeup/photography..revelio
assistance/location scouting/moral support.. watteflocke&caddyonherwayJust a short note on this one, as there’s a longer description on the other post. But it needs to be said that Watteflocke is an AMAZING location scout because what the hell, she enabled us to do this in an actual cave in the forest, and that just blew my mind. Thank you! ♥
…see more of Thorin with his cloak and in different locations here!

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin’s sons
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side high
And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the skyNow I see fire
We all had quite the weekend! A large group of friends shared a journey to the Tennessee Ren Faire, and then met up at a newly opened Tolkien-themed pub; The Green Dragon Public House. A perfect oppurtunity to snap some pics!

The city-state of Kashmer, in the realm of Dhea Loral, has a problem. One of its nobles has been captured by orcs, and the ransom asked is ludicrous. It’s actually cheaper to mobilize the military; while the army attacks from one side with the elite fighting force of the Regindal family at the fore, every…
Middle-earth March - Day 22
Smaug really has a heart vor Dwarves! Specially is the come as cakepops… But honestly, how could anyone not like Smaug? He is rich, eloquent, magnificent, well- sometimes terrible, suspicious and murderous – but let’s not focus too much on that! He is also golden, shiny, a hoarder of riches and preserver of cultural heritage! It’s all in the point of view!

And some more fantasy! This is the painted side of my empire army for Age of Sigmar/Warhammer Fantasy, and currently my only army for the system (I had ogres/Giants painted to go with my empire as mercs and a high elf army though unfortunately neither are mine any more through trades and being lost in moves). I started collecting them back in 6ed with the Empire vs Orcs starter set. Some of the models (see spearmen, swordsmen and handgunners) were painted then when I was about 13 years old and are just…just not good. Then there was a gap of about 8 years before I started them up again with some more state troops, greatswords, a cannon, and some wizards. Someday I’ll bring them all up to the same standard but they fit together well enough for now.
The army did have a large reserve of incoming reinforcements (built but not painted) in the form of 6 demigryff knights, Karl franz on deathclaw, a few more wizards, 40 more state troopers, and 4 more artillery pieces (a mortar, two hell blasters, and a hellstorm battery) but they were all in a box that somehow didn’t survive a move and (though he denies they are my models) are now in a former roommate army…
I don’t mind age of sigmar and it is great for a laid back and stress free type of game but I must say I miss old fantasy. It had its problems, sure, but being the history nerd that I am, I loved seeing my blocks of troops carefully positioned to intercept the enemy’s charge in true Landsknecht atire. Sadness
