Art is Hard

Offshoot of Braxix(Imcorrectly correct) Name is a placeholder if you got ideas tell me, I'm struggling.

This won't strictly by Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion, etc. fanart, but there will definitely be a lot of it.

Tag me in things, ask for specific things to be drawn and I might do them. I want to be able to interact with all of you.

There will be a lot of sketches to start off with, but I might get out my paints and art tablet later on.

I AM NOT UP FOR COMMISSION

Names I go by: Braxix(Tumblr), Qorianth(everywhere else)

It isn't of anyone, neither real nor fictional. Saw a picture of someone, fell in love with the hair style, and just had to draw it. I hope I did well by it.

I got body slammed by the art monster last night at 2 am. This took 3 hours to do. It was originally just going to be Elrond, but Elwing snuck up on me and demanded to be drawn too.

Probably my favorite thing Rings of power did was draw this parallel.

Used a pose reference because I tried without and the arms wouldn’t cooperate.

Walk cycles suck and I need to find an actual animation app to use that doesn’t cost so much.

This is an art post

I am adding a break on this one due to potential triggers for people.

Triggers: Fire, death & dead bodies, weapons(swords)

You can decide who/what exactly this portrays. Most guesses wins and that’s who it is. I didn’t start this with any real idea of who it would be.

11” x 14”

Tell me if I missed a tag or trigger or something. I didn’t think I would be drawing something so dark when I started it. There’s 4-5 dead bodies, only one of which is immediately recognizable as a body.

Sauron

Digital art

Also posted on the Middle-Earth by Other Minds community.

Sauron doesn’t usually have black hair, he’s usually portray with blond or red hair. However, black hair makes it easier to do drastic dramatic shadows.

Turn the White Snow Red as Strawberries in the Summertime

A sneak peek into my White Winter Hymnal Sons of Feanor animation.

I really need to get walk cycles down. I wanted to make Maglor’s scarf a different color, but it looked really weird. This a very quick “sketch” that I want to clean up and use for the potential thumbnail.

I did not start drawing with any idea in mind. I didn’t even know the hair or skin color. I knew nothing, but I am happy with how it turned out. I have never drawn dreads before. I have never done colored portraits before. I haven’t drawn a black person in a few months. This was like getting possessed by some spirit in order to draw him. Cheers. I don’t know why I drew him so close, but what’s done is done.

Speed paint beneath break.
