:-D I really like this! Who's that sleeping there below, and when will it stir? I was half expecting King Arthur or Francis Drake, but presumably they're resting elsewhere, somewhere with less risk of mine-related booming waking them early.
Do all places have gentlemen in baths whose job is to keep the goblins in? I would like to imagine one under our cliffs - but given the number of cliff-falls, I fear his bathroom would soon become embarrassingly exposed, and the goblins free to misbehave on the beaches below. We would also have a colony of troglodytic smugglers, who took refuge in a sea cave in 1765 and have been breeding there ever since, unaware of changes in the world outside.
I had drawn in a few shadowy goblin-shapes, and I was going to put a few more and maybe another engine or something in that top cavern, but instead I found myself drawing a bath with a person in it. In the original you can clearly see that the person is quite tall and has long hair. He (or she, I suppose) also has a library of red-spined books which are shelved under his raised bed-platform there.
:-D at the troglodytic smugglers. If I ever draw another, closer to the coast, the trogladyte smuggler colony will be a must!
Is there a Watcher in the Water and a Shelob as well as a curled-up Balrog? If so, the Tamar Valley is clearly a very dangerous, Halloween-ish place, despite its idyllic surface!
There are a couple of big spiders but I don't think either of them are quite Shelob scale. Not that it feels like it when you see one unexpectedly scuttling past, grrrrr.
I think I imagine the Watcher in the Water as rather more gloomily coloured and menacing than my blue octopus, but it is pleasing tentacular!
The seal is really real (as well as the canoeists!)
