Crack – Bilbo at the Goblin Porch

Original Art work

These Pen and ink illustrations explore the question “ What if Tolkien had produced more drawings for the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings?”.

Following his Illustration style I created artwork of some of my favourite scenes as though created by Tolkien’s hand.

The Front Porch was the name that the Goblins of Goblin-town gave to a cave that opened onto the High Pass in the Misty Mountains. It was marked by a large rock standing in the path, behind which was a low arch and narrow opening into the mountain. The cave was just large enough to accommodate Thorin, the other dwarves, Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, and all their ponies.

The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien
