Day 11 - #Sting - I decided to start drawing with a quill dipping pen and inkpot for this challenge.

Lord of the Rings characters: screen time vs mentions in the book.
The further from the dotted line, the further off trend.

@infobeautiful Is this a proper regression line? Why is it not crossing the origin? As it is now, characters who are neither in the books, nor in the movies, are categorized as underrepresented. Which makes myself underepresented in the #LOTR movies.

I finished the cover for "Where the Roots are Long: The Lord of the Rings and the Modern Environmentalist Movement".
I often think of this image: an Ent looking out over Isengard. What does he think when he sees the industrial site that has destroyed so much of his beloved forest? Does he despair? Does he resolve to act?
This image is a stand-in, since when the eventual publisher will want to design the cover. But until then this, is as good a representation of the book as I can make.

There's "I'm writing a book about The Lord of the Rings" nerdy, and then there's "I've written a geneology of the White Tree of Gondor" nerdy.
I'm satisfied compositionally. I have some watercolor studies to do before the next attempt.
In which I wish Stephen Colbert would start an internet empire. And for the first time, I tell the tale of trying to help Howard Stern start his.

I’d love to see him do something that incorporates his love of Lord of the Rings. Not focused on LotR, but just bring in more references. He’s so knowledgeable and the literature is so rich, I bet he could draw many more parallels with current events, and folks would be really into it. #LotR#Colbert
