HOLY CRAP.
I’ve been trying to catch up on some older posts here that I missed over the last few months, so I only JUST saw this, but… just… HOLY CRAP.
This is some seriously INCREDIBLE work, Iodo! I love how you have incorporated the strong, angular geometry of the Wētā Dwarven aesthetic, and even some of the shapes from the props in the Hobbit movies, but still kept it firmly grounded in reality and functionality (UNlike many of the Wētā designs from the Hobbit). I have rarely ever seen a piece that screams “DWARF!” quite as much as this does. But also, it’s has none of that rough-hewn ugliness so common in Dwarven designs seen throughout popular media these days - it LOOKS polished and well-made! (Also, the inscription is absolutely delightful, and I literally laughed out loud when I read the translation! )
Once again, just fantastic work here! You should be proud!
