Description Father of Fili & Kili, baby Kili and little Fili
Character copyright : J.R.R.Tolkien

Little Fili has met baby Kili with their father.
The character of their father (husband of Dis, brother in law of Thorin & Frerin) is just my own imagination.
My Twitter friend and me named him "Reginn", that's name from a poem of The Old Edda which our professor has used as a source of Dwarves' name!

I like your interpretation of Dis's husband and the name you chose for him.Β

Oowww this is adorable ! I love how much the dad looks like FΓ­li (blond hair, braidstache and all), but has KΓ­li's nose... His two sons really do look like their father ! And the kids are too cute... Gorgeous artwork, we don't see DΓ­s's husband often enough !

Dear Lili,
Thank you for a nice comment!
I'm very glad to know that you noticed dad's hair and braid style looks like Fili, but his nose looks like Kili's.
Me and my Tolkien fan friend have talked about this issue as a fan talk. The result was; Fili's face came from Durin's line (from Dis and Thorin), but Kili's face came from his father (in this picture).
But Kili's black hair is Durin's one, so we thought their father has blond hair.
Then, here's their dad has Kili's face, with Fili's hair!

A beautiful style, but theres something about the father's face that seems kind of effeminate... the eyes, perhaps? At first I honestly thought it was a very different take on Dis... regardless, I love how you colored this and your line work. Keep up the good work!

Dear Ktz25xXxhazel,
Thank you for an impressive comment.
I think there's some tenderness on father's eyes, because h is looking the first encounter of his lovely child and baby. So you would feel it as a kind of effeminate.
I'm glad to hear that you love this piece. Actually, I've done this piece by fully digital method with Painter 12. I've painted the color with half-opaque brush on the line drawing.

Adorable. I love the expression on their father's face, a beautiful mixture of pride and love.

Dear Juliana
Thank you for a nice comment!!
I've figured their father's face with my own imagination only, so I'm very glad that you felt such feeling from his face.
I wanted to put some affections to Fili and Kili through his father's portrait.

Dear Rafaela
Thank you for the first comment!
I think I've done well for designing of Fili & Kili's dad.
I've been calling him as "Nali", that name have taken from a poem of The Poetic Edda. Also Tolkien has taken Dwarven names from that.
