The Gwelf Survival Guide!!

[Elleth]

I have a feeling this might go over well, especially for those of you with some ranger-y kiddos.

The artist describes it as rather "Lord of the Rings meets Wind in the Willows"

I've just signed on, and it looks like it's going to be a grand project!

Very interesting! LotR meets Wind in the Willows.......sooooooo.....Redwall, yes? ; )

Looking forward to seeing some future updates.

REDWALL!!! That's the first thing that popped into my head.

Whelp, I just discovered this randomly on Instagram and I'm completely sold. This artwork is one of my favorite things in a long time. Simply amazing stuff from Larry MacDougall. And check out his Tom Bombadil!

That Bombadil looks like he's been into the mushrooms something fierce.

Oh! I did get the book when the kickstarter came out - it was a delight! The setting was very fun, I would have absolutely adored it growing up.

The bad guys might be a little creepy for young tots, but for slightly older kids - highly highly recommended.

Hah, he is rather Rasputin-ish, isn't he? I can see how ol' Bombadil could be seen as a creepy forest spirit and this picture is definitely along those lines. I don't know if that's what the Professor was intending but I like it.

I think I might order the book this weekend. I can't get enough of his art!

For those with an interest, Mr. MacDougall just opened a new kickstarter for an expansion "Into the Hinterlands" -
