Working on a watercolour of Ancalagon the Black for the 2027 Beyond Bree Tolkien calendar. The blue stuff is rubber masking fluid. I also experimented with salt to give the wet-in-wet parts some more texture. Now come the scales and a small brush ...

Writers have two modes and they are "i haven't written in three weeks and i am rotting from the inside and everything feels wrong and i don't know who i am anymore" and "i wrote for four hours straight and forgot to eat and it's dark outside and when did that happen and i feel like a god" and there is nothing in between. no chill. no medium setting. just famine or feast and a very confused nervous system.

I'm still trying to figure out a design for Tyelpë ... I'm never going to choose one

Gil Galad's chief councilors and source of headaches.

Two half-elves: one the Eldritch scion of pretty much every royal line—human and elven—and the other, the Fëanorian hardliner that may or may not be an actual Fëanorian. Both are having a dubious claim to your throne and a total disinterest in it at the same time.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

I lose it whenever I watch Saga vs. Kanon in the Hades arc.

Saga really hitting him with, "I'll take off your mask and look at your maleficent face for the first time in thirteen years."

Then, two minutes later: "How long do you plan on copying my techniques?"

Saga delivering these lines to his identical twin with a completely straight face lmao

if you comment some demanding shit like this on fanfic writers’ works, you don’t deserve the privilege of getting to read fanfiction for free

Fun fact! Demanding updates is also likely to make authors delay them, either out of spite, or because you bring their mood too low to effectively write!

For me it causes both <3

The Only Good Photograph Elrond Peredhel Has Ever Taken In His Life

“I know that Comrade Maedhros is a violent man, and that your Baba, the terrorist, is opaque and unpredictable and prideful, that Maglor’s brother can be manipulative and hardheaded and patriarchal, that Elladan and Elrohir’s grandfather doesn’t realise what their idolisation of him could do to them, that Elros’ father is, even if indirectly, partially responsible for his fate. I know all this. I know none of these men are good men. But don’t you ever say that my Russo is not good to me, and kind, and self-sacrificing. Don’t you take his goodness from me. It was I who built him, it was I who corralled his kindness. All these years, I have kept it safe and alive in the same place I keep his lost potential and foreclosed futures, fed it and watered it every day of my life—and it is mine.”

After this disgustingly cute Celrond, I decided that my next disgustingly cute work would be Prayers AU Russingon. Five o’ clock shadow as promised! Please zoom in on the inscription on Maedhros’ ring ❤️ anyway I’m so glad I landed on this Comrade design because he’s so easy to draw. FINNU ON THE OTHER HAND, took me multiple hours for me to decide on his expression 🥲

MAEDHROS: MERETH ADERTHAD

very cropped and thus safe for eating at work commission WIP, featuring Maedhros and a tripartite piercing situation in a semi-realistic style, where I leave you to guess where the third one is. very much still a WIP but i won’t be posting the final uncropped version of this one so feast while you can on what you can!

anyway, really obsessed with him having very slow growing hair, hence it being in this state at this point in his life, but i know he still sleeps with curlers in. also pattern background creds @peasant-player 😌☝🏻
