Ashby St Ledgers is a tiny village in the west of Northamptonshire with a population of just 173, according to the 2011 census. Yet it has no fewer than 44 buildings which are listed as being of historical or architectural interest. Remarkably, this isn't one of them. As far as I have been able to establish, it was built in Main Street as the six-bedroomed Glebe farmhouse in 1851. We can see its Georgian relationship, though its larger paned windows tell us that it is somewhat later than that. So I'll settle for early Victorian.
These thatched cottages are a popular scene in the village of Ashby St;Ledgers, Northamptonshire.

“The Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dûr he was, and his name is remembered in no tale; for he himself had forgotten it, and he said: 'I am the Mouth of Sauron.'”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
I loved this character in the Return of the King (Extended edition). I think his costume design was pure genius. I did my best to recreate the iconic helmet and that enchanting smile 😁
Hope you enjoy!

6th addition to my Artwork Inspired series: TDK Joker.
Based of posterised/grunge artwork (artist Unknown), the figure captures the style all be it simplified a little.
Unlike other figures, the torso details and to some extent the face details, are not defined entirly. Instead just like the artwork, block shading and lines create the suit's look without complete shapes.
Whites in eyes may be made smaller (and more accurate) shortly.
Hair was difficult to get right without sculpting, so may be upgraded in the future.
Legs were improvised (and not that great), but oh well...
Not my cleanest paint job, but one of my most experiential styles yet, being a good addition to my artwork series; intended to experiment further than traditional customising.
This delightful row of thatched cottages makes for a popular scene at Ashby St.Ledgers, Northamptonshire.

On the way back home from Long Buckby today, and a change of route via Ashby St.Ledgers, Northamptonshire. A few photos and a play in the play park (for Jasmine) had to be done.

“I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices — it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath — someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts.”
We are in the middle of an unprecedented global pandemic that is disrupting everything we hold dear: our ways of life, our health, our loved ones, and our sanity. The tiny virus – SARS-CoV-2 – is from the same family of viruses as all other common cold viruses, but our immune system hasn’t seen anything of this kind ever before. Hence, it is blowing all over like a hurricane that's determined to uproot everything in its path. Everyone is worried, the rest are ignorant. How are we going to deal with this thing? How long will we go without our schools, universities, and businesses open? When could we breathe again? Shake hands with and hug each other again? Italy, whose healthcare system is ranked no. 2 worldwide by WHO, has been dragged down to its knees by COVID-19; What are our chances in the US, whose healthcare system is discouragingly ranked by WHO at no. 37?
The idea here is grim: it’s time to hunker down.
Leading doctors and scientists are agreeing on one thing: it is not a matter of if we will get exposed to this virus, but when. Eventually the virus will get to all of us. But not everyone will equally suffer. Some of us will have some cross-immunity to this virus from other cold viruses that we may have endured, and will ride out this novel one smoothly, even asymptomatically. Others will endure symptoms to different degrees depending on their age, health, stress and food habits. Yes, eight hours of sleep and orange juice (vitamin C) will help as it does with other viruses of the same family. It will also help, if we all act as members of a herd and not as individuals. As a herd, we will have to embrace social isolation for a while (to ‘flatten the curve’ ), support each other & keep the morale high, thank our healthcare providers and scientists, and demand bold leadership from our elected officials.
Together, we can get through COVID-19 much like mangrove plants all over Florida keys ride out angry hurricanes. These trees dig their roots deep and instead of standing firm like a moronic pole, they ease their trunk and branches to tunes of the tempest. They absorb the hurricane’s impact and when it all blows over, exude the typhoon's hidden music in their graceful stances. Similarly, we too will emerge out of COVID-19, perhaps a bit humbler than we were before. Perhaps a bit more thankful about opportunities that we took for granted. Perhaps a bit more sensitive to each other’s needs and pains. I will look forward to that new morning. Till then, my friends, stay safe. Sway to the music of the hurricane; it will leave us stronger and more beautiful then we were ever before.
