Description Here's my take on Thror's Map from The Hobbit. Had a lot of fun putting this together.

All type and graphics done by hand with ink and brush. Weathering done with pastel and ink.

Based on the movie versions by Weta and on Tolkien's original map design. Not 100% accurate to either version, more of a hybrid.

This is a gift I made for my brother.

Great job! Can hardly tell the difference between the three, really.

The big differences are the drawing style for The Lonely Mountain & Smaug and a few differences in the wording. Otherwise, pretty close. Thanks!
