secretmellowblog:I’ve been thinking about the “unreliable narrator” aspect of the Hobbit recently and CONSIDER:A comic adaptation of the Hobbit where each character “writes” in a different art style. Bilbo is the narrator, so most of the story is told in his art style.But when like….. the dwarves describe Smaug’s attack on Erebor to Bilbo… the history of Erebor is drawn in the dwarves’ art style, to reflect that we’re seeing these events from the dwarves’ point of view.When the elves descibe Smaug’s attack on Erebor– and describe it differently from the dwarves– the history of Erebor is drawn in the elves’ art style, to reflect that we’re now seeing the events from the elves’ point of view. And so on, and so on.……I have no idea how coherent this is but I’ve been obsessed with this idea for a long time.So anyway here are a bunch of my notes about this + brainstorming ideas for what each character/group’s art style would look like!EDIT: Here’s Chapter 1!Webtoons/Ao3/Instagram -- source link
