When that weird little guy who rescues you in the woods (and in the barrowdowns) will only talk to you in song, mainly humblebrags about the colour of his jacket and his boots and how awesome his wife is.

This is how it might look framed now.

Tom's jacket color corrected (thx a lot @bjauy, I'm still blushing I did this mistake).

These are two slightly different versions. Is one of them better?

@deerbard love the picture and also love your style! I'd love to see your other works.

Also only man who can play #TomBombadil is Matt Berry. Just noting.

Here's the colored version I promised and a closeup. Whole picture is A3 size. For now there's no prints but I can order it and send to you if anyone is interested.

Tom Bombadil is the personification of the Flame Imperishable, set in the heart of Eä by Eru. That's why he was there "before the Dark Lord came from outside", why he's immune to the powers of the ring, and unbothered by the rise and fall of dark lords like Sauron or even Melkor: only Eru himself can command the Flame Imperishable. #Tolkien #FanTheory #TomBombadil

Back to #12SymbolicCharacters I finally framed Tom but I have a question. Which version do you like better?

Colored version coming later.

It's also notable that while #JohnMastodon has over the last few days been identified with '#ObiWanKenobi, #TomBombadil and #JesusChrist, amongst others, I'm not sure that I've seen #JohnMastodon directly connected to #ganesha.

Although in the six hours or so I've been seeing pachyderm imagery almost as often as the wholesome guy with a beard interpretations.

Cheguei naquele capítulo que não sei se gosto ou se odeio. Mas vamos lá… #jrrtolkien #tolkien #lotr #thelordoftherings #tombombadil #Hipstamatic #Sergio #Aristotle

I’m rereading and listening to the Andy Serkis in the latest version of the audiobook and it’s quite funny the way he brings Tom Bombadil to life. #jrrtolkien #tolkien #thelordoftherings #lotr #tombombadil

Eh, what? Don’t you know my name yet? That’s the only answer. Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless? But you are young and I am old. Eldest, that’s what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless – before the Dark Lord came from Outside.
