There's "I'm writing a book about The Lord of the Rings" nerdy, and then there's "I've written a geneology of the White Tree of Gondor" level of nerdy.

Taking a gamble that I can make this work color wise. I want the Ent to be visible, backlit, before a darkened forest. Making the scene sunset increases the outside drama but there needs to be enough light to see the other focus. I'm colorblind and kind of gripping my seat through all of this.

"But Fëanor laughed, and spoke not to the herald, but to the Noldor, saying: 'So! Then will this valiant people send forth the heir of their King alone into banishment with his sons only, and return to their bondage? But if any will come with me, I say to them: is sorry forboded to you? But im Aman we have seen it. In Aman we have come through bliss to woe. The other now we will try: through sorrow to find joy; or freedom, at the least."

I'm satisfied compositionally. I have some watercolor studies to do before the next attempt.

Water colors are hard. Maybe I'll go back to black and white.

Searching for audiobooks can be exhausting. I'm searching for a history audiobook and listened to a sample. The narrator sounds strangely like the Instagram AI voiceover guy.
I want to try to spend money on actual voice actors so I do a little research. I find "Bill Caufield" has recorded over a hundred books for this publisher since December 2023 but has no website or profile that I can find.
I'm still not 100% sure if the voice is AI or human. Any opinions?
