'L'amour' from AdamC - 'Tom Bombadil and Goldberry'


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.

    1. Valjo 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.

  4. Great work - like Michael, this, and the Barrow Downs, was always a part of the Fellowship of the Ring which I loved! Splendid work!

  5. Nice 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.

    1. I 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.

  6. Another Tom! ;)
    Nice work Adam! Tom is a favorite character....all that power,but he just wants to stay in his own plot of land. ;)
