The Hobbit Illustrated was a small personal project I did in 2024, where I worked on making both cover and spot illustrations for J. R. R. Tolkien’s book The Hobbit. I took inspiration both from 9th century Irish manuscripts and insular art along with Tove Jansson’s Hobbit illustrations. The final products were two spreads and six various spot illustrations to be used throughout specific sections in the book.
Cover and Back Cover - Gandalf + Bilbo and the Dwarves
Inside Spread- Two Elves
Hobbit Page - Bilbo and his Halberd
Smaug Page - Bilbo Confronts the Danger
Map Page- Left
Eagle Page - Bilbo Receives Some Help
Dwarf Page - The Dwarves
