I read the best article last week when its nomination was announced here. Good stuff!

Congratulations to the winners, and WOW, that artwork’s wonderful! I just went to her site and she is really a superb artist, and also does non-Tolkien work. She’s top-notch, like I’m wondering if she’s done any pro work and I am making a note to watch her for possible Hugo nominations (pro or fan) next year.
Some great stuff on her Patreon that’s visible to non-patrons, too. I’m already considering backing her, though wow, she has well over 1000 posts already, gah. A really adorable “Dungeons & Dormice” series of D&D character archetypes drawn as, yes, dormice; usually I don’t go for this sort of thing, but they’re wicked cool, so there you go.
