Dwalin + cookies (and his struggle to get them)
Look at this adorable piece of trash
It’s not that I don’t like visitors. I like visitors, as much as the next Hobbit. But I do like to know them before they come visiting. The thing is, I don’t know either of you. Not in the slightest. I don’t mean to be blunt, but I had to speak my mind.
Dwalin, requested by erebororbust
“Dwalin is a fighter and a badass, so to me that meant he should look tough and dangerous, as if he had been in plenty of scrapes. We had an old scarred cat with chunks missing from his ears and nose, so that’s what I did here, with scars going back up into Dwalin’s beard and hairline.
Hair and beards are a bid deal to Dwarves. With Dwalin being bald, I thought he might have something that was a bit like a replacement for his hair — warding runes or symbols.
We tattooed up Dwalin’s hands with shapes that were reminiscent of axe blades. Peter liked the idea of him having runes on his hands and suggested the Dwarven battle cry, ‘Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!’”- William Furneaux, Weta Workshop Designer, on Dwalin’s Costume, Hair and Make-up

When the time for bloody war has come
Your right hand I will be
Where you lead, my prince, I’ll follow
As we sweep to victory
