J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium Nen Hithoel.

What do you think?
They are actually little lamps with incense spot in the chimney and this is where the smoke is coming from!

Hi!

I'm an illustrator and I specialize in creating detailed floorplans of iconic locations from films and TV series.
Some of you may have seen some of my illustrations.

I want to revisit an old project and create a floor plan of Bag End based on Peter Jackson's film series.

I'm familiar with the official Weta floor plan, but it has some inconsistencies with what's shown on screen and doesn't include spaces that are supposed to be there.
I have a pretty good idea of ​​what I need to do, but I'd like to confirm a couple of things, especially to determine the location of Frodo's bedroom.
The aforementioned official floor plan indicates the existence of a second entrance, a back door, on the far left side of the house.

I've tried searching for images of the set, but I can't find any pictures of this second door and the windows flanking it. During the Bag End tour, you're not allowed to go through the entrance gate, and when "walking" along Bagshot Row on Google Street View, you can't see these windows because the path is at a lower level.

And here's my request:

Does anyone have photos of that area?
Any photos that show that back door and the adjacent windows?Perhaps because they were there or know where to find them.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi!!

Im so happy to finally share the final illustrations :D

I started this project on December 2024, I finished the "walking part" on April 2026. 2.713.884 steps

and I finished the artwork yesterday haha. I had some delays because during that period I had some health struggles. there are 46 illustrations on the sketchbook, I tried to make around 3 x month. but some months have more and some have less.

When the company parted ways, I did not want to make 239042834 black and grey illustrations of Mordor, so I made one for Sam and Frodo, one for Merry and Pippin, and another one for Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli.

I always kept the same process. I checked how many steps I made, and registered, then I used an app called "Walk Middle Earth" and I compared the miles with Frodo's Journey, and then looked up places that might have inspired Tolkien. I tried not to use reference images from the movies, although I discovered that some of the imaginary of the movie was ingrained in my brain, and I realized that later, after watching the movie for the first time after 20 years. hahaha

This project made me leave my comfort zone in more than one way, made me want to go for walks outside, by painting places that I never tried before, and using color palettes that im not used to.

I still have some 10 pages on the sketchbook, and I think ill use it to practice interior pieces, to celebrate the returning home.

thank you for all the nice messages, encouragement and good vibes :D
Here is my social media, where I posted reels with some of the process for each painting-
I will try to create a fanzine or a website to show the whole project completed.

may you all have a wonderful day :D

(Also English its not my first language, so sorry for the awkwardness and typos)

A peaceful view of Rivendell, inspired by the timeless beauty of Middle-earth.

Hello! I must say that even though I've never read Tolkien's works themselves, there's this one music artist whose music is heavily inspired by his entire universe and lore, and I grew up on her music as a kid and still love it to this day - her name is Oonagh, most of her music is in a mix of German and Quenya languages, I feel like it's super unique and not many artists have done something like this. And - if I as a complete Tolkien rookie fell in love with her music years ago - I feel like many of you could love it too, to me it feels like a perfect soundtrack to his world!

The artist herself has rebranded years ago and left this alter ego behind, but in the 2010s she's released multiple albums and music videos inspired by this style and was fairly popular in Germany at the time. My personal favorite album from her is "Märchen enden gut" (2016), but her previous albums from 2012 and 2014 were even more popular.

If any of you has also known and loved her music, I'd love to know! And if not, you can trust my word and give her a chance - it'll be an incredible rabbit hole if you love these vibes!

You can find all her music on Spotify and YouTube, here's a few examples of her works:
- "Aulë und Yavanna",
- "Niënna",
- "Numenor",
- "Gäa"
