The Hobbit’s dwarves: before make-up, and after. October 26, 2013 at 10:59 am by Demosthenes - You’ve seen the dwarven cast members of The Hobbit without make-up.

There’s a lot that we can say about The Hobbit, Peter Jackson’s follow-up to his critically lauded masterpiece Lord of the Rings, most of it in the realm of “ehhhhhhh okay.”However, there is one beacon of shining gold in the mediocrity sandwich that is the trilogy, and that is the dwarves absolutely slaying “Misty Mountains.”Let’s set the scene: these rowdy-ass dwarves have just taken over Bilbo’s house. One by one (or two in the case of Fili and Kili), these adventuring, loud, covered-in-layers-and-layers of bulky material, gloriously bearded dwarves entered Mr. Bagginssesess’ home.

Either way, the Hot Dwarf looks particularly determined to smolder in the light).Even Gandalf is listening — he does have that pipe lit with what is probably some epic Hobbiton grass — but I like to think it probably adds to the experience of listening to dwarves sing mournfully in the firelight.Bilbo can’t even see it, but look at him! He’s done, he’s taken in, he is theirs, even if he doesn’t know it yet!
