This
wasn't the entry I had in mind but when I saw these two as part of a
set at my local store I decided to go with them as my other plan is too
large to get done in time. Tom I did in his Blue Jacket and yellow
boots as per the book I went with orange for the waist coat and green
for the hat for colour (they are described in the book) but the blue
feather is. Goldberry is described in a green dress with a gold belt.
Tom
Bombadil and Goldberry aren't exactly your typical fantasy power couple
but.... Well Tom is the only being in Middle Earth who is unaffected by
the one ring and at least on his own ground is pretty much master of all
things weather the undead or evil willow trees.
Goldberry
is a brilliant figure I got the whole set just for this figure. She
will appear as on of the Princess or decoy figures in a Frostgrave based
game I am hosing at Huzzah Con (I will let the judges decide if she
should count for the side challenge.) I tried to high light her face,
hand and part of her dress to show the glow of candle light, it looks
better in person but isn't as effective as I would like it to be. I
have a great love of Tolkien so I am pleased to showcase one of his
loving couples for this round.
Cool characters that didn't make the big screen. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteYes though I get why they were cut I did feel it was a loss. Thank you
DeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteLoved these two, a particular favour out part of the book for me too.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Deletenice one!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteWell done Adam!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteLove the shade of green on Golberry's dress Adam. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteValjo Emerald Green with a black wash then a very light brybrush in the same color. I added a little yellow green where the candle would hit it. and yellow green trim at the neck.
DeleteGreat work - like Michael, this, and the Barrow Downs, was always a part of the Fellowship of the Ring which I loved! Splendid work!
ReplyDeleteThank You
DeleteNice work Adam. Personally, I have always found these two characters to be a bit of an acquired taste, but well done, and this is actually a perfect bonus theme for them.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't disagree with that actually. I went through a stage where I basically started the trilogy at Bree.. but I cam back to it a few years ago, partly with the help of the audio book. Tom really comes to life when read aloud.
DeleteNice work Adam :)
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteAnother Tom! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice work Adam! Tom is a favorite character....all that power,but he just wants to stay in his own plot of land. ;)
Thank you David :)
