Really hitting my stride with these fairy tale maps for Perils & Princesses. Making the map for an adventure might be my favorite part. The Night Market is taking shape in such a fun way.

Some "A.I." images of Tolkien illustrations in the style of Byzantine iconography are making the rounds on the Other Site, so I want to highlight Jay Johnstone, a real person who makes real Byzantine-inspired Tolkien art with his real human creativity!

More here: jaystolkien.com
A painting of Frodo (left) and Sam (right) from The Lord of the Rings in the style of a Byzantine icon. Visible behind Frodo on the left side is Minas Tirith, the River Anduin, and the White Tree of Gondor; behind Sam on the right side, Gollum can be seen crouching behind a rock in front of Minas Morgul. Both Sam and Frodo have traditional Byzantine haloes. An illustration of the Bridge of Khazad-dum from The Fellowship of the Ring in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript. On the left-hand side, the Balrog, looking like a monster out of a fourteenth-century bestiary, wields a sword of flame. On the right-hand side, a wizened, haloed Gandalf stands off against him, while the other members of the Fellowship look on. A painting of the wizard Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings in the style of a traditional Byzantine icon. Gandalf, looking like a proper Desert Father except for the sword at his belt and the wizard's hat on his head, has a halo and is wearing a white robe.

Autant d’éléments qui font de Frodo un exemple pour ceux qui traversent une épreuve douloureuse et qui expliquent que la lecture de Tolkien fait résonner tant d’échos de compassion et d’espérance chez les malheureux… Levons donc nos verres : POUR FRODO! 🧙
Frodo et Sam par Jay Johnstone: ils sont représentés comme des saints d'icônes byzantines.
