SciFi and Fantasy Art The Past by Sabra R. Hart

Its often forgotten, but the Dwarves were having a hard time in Middle-earth during 'The Hobbit', with the dragon having taken up residence in the Lonely Mountain. It was tough going for them, many of them were forced to wander about looking for work. Many having to mine and shovel coal for their bread. Here is some fanart I did for a fanfic I'm writing called 'Of Fire and Stars', you can find it at Fanfiction.net. Its about Gimli's early years (before the Fellowship, taking place during the Hobbit). Its a Gimli centric story as well as book-based, not movie-based, I'm keeping it as close to book canon as I can. Anyway, here is a sketch of Gimli's family traveling with what little they managed to grab, after their caravan is attacked and destroyed by orcs. The female is Lady Nei, Gimli's mother, along with a younger Gloin (with the little girl on his head), and his brother Oin (in the back) along with Gimli and his siblings. Think you can spot the six year old Gimli ~_^? I had a lot of fun with this, especially the children, and since these are 'Tolkien' Dwarves the female has a beard.

16 Mar 2009	Vp21ct	Loading... This is the best possible example of a bearded Dwarf female I have ever seen. Well done sir. Seriosly, I’m on a toss up between this and the sideburns idea. BTW, nice job making sure that even the little kids have beards.
