Happy Crablor Day! @crablorday He's singing the song of his people~
Reference: Crab
for @tolkienfemfeb day 21 (a bit late, rip), using the quote prompt “His daughter Elanor the Fair is one of the maids of Queen Evenstar.” and the prompt words garland, trial, silk, spring, moonlit. I wrote a 100-word drabble and provided a little sketch of Elanor daydreaming~
Elanor daydreams of Queen Evenstar. She fantasizes of dancing with her, the Queen in silks, herself in bright garlands. She dreams of Arwen sweeping her off her feet beneath the moonlit sky. She sighs at the thought of resting her head on Arwen’s bosom, feeling her warmth, and knows it would be a trial not to press a kiss upon her breast. That first spring of her service to the Queen, Elanor thinks only of dance. Her daydreams fade when summer warms— but only when Lady Éowyn arrives from Ithilien, and she starts to muse on riding with her, instead.

for @tolkienfemfeb day 11, using the quote prompt “May I not now spend my life as I will?” and the generator's suggestion of Nienna x Elwing!
She kneels before the Vala, all her rage and fear and despair boiling over. “They are lost to me, forever!” she cries. “It has been a hundred years. Why can I not move on? Why must I yet suffer, when I know they live, and live well? May I not now spend my life as I will? Must I dwell always in the past, and never in the present?” Nienna, shrouded and masked, reaches an insubstantial hand down to her cheek, caressing her. The very touch eases something in Elwing’s heart, and she sobs with the release, her whole body trembling. Dear child, the Valië whispers. You hurt because you love them. To let go of your past, you must let go of your love. “I cannot,” Elwing gasps between the waves of tears, mingling with the rain upon her skin. “I am their mother. I cannot! Is there nothing else I can do?” You can learn, Elwing Dioriel. Learn to live with your pain, rather than warring against it. “Teach me, then,” Elwing begs. “Teach me to—to forgive. To find peace. To become something other than myself.” Nienna wipes a tear from Elwing’s eye mournfully. I cannot change you. “Then teach me to change myself! I cannot live like this any longer!” She would rather cast herself into the sea, like the Kinslayer did with that damned jewel, than breathe another second in this agony. (She does not tell the Valië this, but Nienna is within her and without her. She knows.) Dear Elwing, she murmurs, and another wave of catharsis shudders through her body. I will teach you what I can.

Bird brothers: Eluréd and Elurín!
I made these little guys for the @tolkienrsb 2024. The accompanying fic, by Quente, will be available to read on September 6!
Eluréd is modeled after the white-tailed eagle; for Elurín, I used the Eurasian tree sparrow as a model. Both birbs are made with air-dry clay.
read A flight, a wing, the promise of spring beginning on September 6!

I made an art/anatomy tutorial about birds! I hope people will find it helpful!

Run away with me?
My art for the @tolkienrsb 2023! This is an AU where Maedhros and Fingon elope into the wilds of Valinor~
Look for the amazing accompanying fic by @goschatewabn coming September 8!!

Adventures in hand sketches
But when they were landed, Maedhros the eldest of his sons, and on a time the boyfriend of Fingon ere Morgoth's lies came between (they’re husbands now it’s nbd), spoke to Fëanor, saying: “Now what ships and rowers will you spare to return, and whom shall they bear hither first? Fingolfin my father-in-law? BTW Fingon’s already here, don’t be mad...”
or:
sad snuggling on the swan-ships after you did some murders, & tfw your father-in-law challenges you to a duel but you’re in your jammies
~~~
This is one of my two art pieces for the @tolkienrsb 2022, an AU where Maedhros sneaks Fingon onto the swan-ships and all hell breaks loose!
The accompanying fic [link TBA] is being written by the stellar @maedhrus!!

I’m constantly always in awe of your anatomy. It’s just???? Perfect. I don’t want to be a pest but if you have time, do you have any anatomy quick tips? I struggle so much with it!
AHHH thank you so much!! I wouldn't say it's perfect though. There are definitely mistakes in it 😅 and it's somewhat simplified, 'cause I couldn't bother with actually learning which muscle does what. But anyways, I love drawing anatomy and so I'm absolutely not bothered at all by your question!
Since you didn't specify, I can only give you these off the top of my head. They helped me a lot with making my anatomy look more natural.
Here I go with my basic english skills, trying to explain anatomy
The head fits roughly 7.5 times into the body
There is a line that connects the inner side of the knee with the hip bone (caused by different muscles in the leg) that causes an indentation in the leg
The angle of the calf muscles and the angle of the ankles are opposites
Those calf muscles squish outwards when kneeling
When drawing the neck/shoulders, you should never forget about the "Trapezius" muscle
The bone on the outer side of your wrist is more pronounced than the one on the inner side
The triceps appears to be longer than the biceps
The hand is approximately as long as the distance from the chin to the hairline
This is all my mind could come up with at the moment, but I hope it helps :) If you want me to specify, let me know
Hey do you have that kissing tutorial I cant find it :(
Hi! I'm not sure which specific kissing tutorial you are referring to, but I do have a few reblogged under the tag kissing tutorial here and kissing ref here.
This is less of a tutorial and more helpful notes on drawing kissing I found on twitter.
Hope that helps!
How do you draw kisses so well????????
I had to learn how to draw the head in different perspectives besides the basic ones, that’s how u make the kiss look less stiff and awkward and actually make it look like a kiss. look for reference poses, i practiced with those a lot, don´t be afraid to practice different perspectives beside the side view, bonus points cause u wont have to draw the lips from a back view lol
Also lips ARE SQUISHY and sometimes, depending on how deep or open mouthed the kiss is the lips may not even be that visible, they´ll just look like lines sometimes. Remember to use references, they help a lot, also nose positioning you’ll have to find out by pure observation lol so ye references.
Also Expressions! play with them they give life to the kiss, make it angsty, passionate, delicate, u do u! Hope this helped!

We had a drawing session for family night and naturally I drew my boy ❤️
[Image description: Colored pencil drawings of Gil-galad and Erien from the Silmarillion. The first drawing depicts Gil-galad as Ilmafinwë Artanáro, an elf man with curly silver hair, warm brown skin, and green eyes; he is wearing a blue robe and gold hoop earrings. Next to him is his sister Erien, an elf woman with curly red hair, warm brown skin, green eyes, and a jagged scar between her eyes; she is smiling wide and wearing a purple robe, silver and blue earrings, and a necklace with a gold pendant of the Fëanorian star. The next drawing depicts two alternate versions of Gil-galad. First he is shown as Cantafinwë Ereinion, an elf man with dark curly hair, warm brown skin, and silver eyes; he is wearing a purple robe, a pink undershirt, and gold and red earrings. Finally he is shown as Velcafinwë (Finellach) Gil-galad, an elf man with red hair, warm brown skin, and blue eyes; he is wearing a green robe and gold and pink earrings. End image description.]
long time no draw, huh?
Here is Erien, and a bunch of Gil-galads! The first pic shows them as they appear in my ’verse little star, little flame; then there are some alternate Gils because I really cannot decide on his hair color... He (and Erien!) are always Russingon kiddos though!!! <3

I feel like these things are extremely important for young artists to see.
This is not even relevant to my blog but the small amount of people who follow me need to see it.
