my heart

2 min read
I love dabbling in writing but have never been as moved to write something until I was introduced to the character, Thorin Oakenshield.  I fell in love and a story grew in my mind that I had to get out and reflect on paper.   I have written my own version of the Hobbit where Thorin is now the main character and finds a new path after his visit to Rivendell.  Thorin's destiny to reclaim Erebor is now laced with love and a connection that will guide his way.  With one new character added, it knocks him completely off track but keeps him on course at the same time.  I loved this character and actor (Richard Armitage) that played him.  He deserved more ~ I wanted more!!! I am no artist but would like to encourage anyone that loves this story to display their artwork on this page.  My dream is to see this vision and version of him come to life.  Hope all loyal Thorin/Hobbit fans enjoy ~ or love as I do.  I have spent months with these characters and they have become a part of my own heart <3

Love God, my family, my horses, our American Indian culture, and country life.  I love an evening on the river, on the back of a horse, cookouts, or mudding with my family.  Yes, we're crazy lol.  Trying to do more photography, it's something I've always loved, but have gotten away from.  Remarkably my cell phone is always in hand and takes some great shots too hehe ;)

Ok, my little deviant darlings, I'm cracking my whip with to many extensions ;) I'm wrapping up Richard's birthday artbook to get it to him on time for his birthday :love: This has been the most trying and craziest summer ever, but it has given me an escape when I have needed it the most. I have enjoyed meeting everyone and I hope that next year I will be able to do this again. (I definitely came up with a better plan) So get your new pieces ready, we have one year lol, thank God :faint: 

The book will not be coming to me, but is being sent directly to him from the company. I have just ran out of time and honestly it is way over budget and this will save me from having to pay to ship it again. There is no way I could take pictures of everyone's pages, it ended up being about 64, but I have took some of the beginning of the book on my computer screen, so not the best quality, but where everyone could see examples. I will "try" to add more soon. If you don't see your page come up, you could send me a note and let me know you would "pretty please" like me to hunt it down and take a quick shot for you, I don't mind.  I would've liked to have seen mine too hehe.  I honestly can't tell you who all is listed below and who isn't???  It may not be the same day, or the same week, but I will try and get it to you. I never intended on going this extra step, but I was to proud of his book not to show it off. 

Front cover and back was snagged by :iconwizzard13: opening page by :iconloladrawsthings: and closing page :iconmzgrimz: All my other lovelies graced the heart of the book :kiss: 

The pictures are in my stash here:

After much debate, messages to Richard got pushed to the back of the book in a message section. Some messages were so long, it just took away from the art. It looks so much better this way and he is still getting them :love: I know he will love it and it would have never been possible without everyone's beautiful art to fill it, so thank you!!! It came together far better than I could have ever dreamed :blowkiss: He better like it hehe 

Lucky Guy :D

We are putting together a deviantart book of Thorin/Richard Armitage art for Richard's birthday if you are interested in showcasing a piece(s) in the book.  I will be helping put it together and shipping it personally.  His birthday is Aug. 22, so it will be shipped the beginning of August.  The page will feature your art, name of piece, your deviant ID, your real name (if you choose), link to picture, country, and "Happy Birthday" message to RA. There is no way I can track down everyone on deviantart who has these pieces so help me to pass the word along :hug: For more info ~ read my journal and just send me a note with the details if you are interested ~ thanks

 

So Eek ~ slowly sliding back my chair from the computer to process all these emails or replies from everyone.  I have tried to reply to everyone but if it is not in my message box it is hard for me to keep a record of who all I have.  I have some friends helping but honestly it will be mostly me ~ so trying to get it all organized.  So, having that said email me in message box with the info. needed below or if it does not have a deviantart link upload and send to my email - heirsofdurin@yahoo.com.  I can't remember all of your pieces and this will help me go ahead and set you up a folder with info.  After folders are ready each piece will be assigned a page for the book that I will upload using shutterfly.  Doing this one at a time.  I know Richard will :love: so it is worth it!  The response has been omg ~ amazing!!! Please only respectful pieces to Richard roles.  I will not accept anything that I feel would be disrespectful to Richard or Tolkien. Also, I will not beg anyone for their artwork.  If you wish to participate that is awesome and I will include you if not please don't flood my inbox with 50 questions. Anyone giving me trouble will not be considered.  I am tired and trying my best not to abandon something that is taking up so much of my time.  This is a gift ~ sent to someone special to me from all of us. This is fanart from deviantart for Richard.  

Info I need for your entry:  (Some pieces that have already been submitted are missing some of these ~ Don't make me have to go back and look it up)  ;)

Name of Piece:

ID:

Real Name: Optional

Link to pic:

Country:

Yes, there can be more than one picture on your page.  Not 20 ~ 4 at the most!  Got a deadline for y'all ~ 7/19/13 (Friday) If you're real sweet and need more time 7/22  (no later) ;) I have more on my plate than I thought and I want it to be perfect!!!

Thorin Oakenshield & Co. belong to Tolkien and Kale, Rafe, and Brakin belong to me :)
