I actually don’t know if I’m gonna finish this one I’m kind of frustrated with it but I wanted to draw Feanor and Nerdanel to explain my headcanons for all the feanorions and this is one of the ones I started

[crypticcuntking]

Your Silmarillion art is so beautiful! I love how you draw Fingon

-@outofangband

thank you so much!!!! I’m having a lot of fun making silm art I’m glad you like it too! and I also love how I draw fingon 😌 I’ve probably drawn him the most, he’s working his into being my favorite character 😅 here are some sketches of him that I may or may not render lmao

💙💙💙💙him💙💙💙💙

Ooooh! If requests are open, what about some Fingon and Argon together?

The Miriel WIP you shared on discord is STUNNING, by the way. I love your art so much! 😍

Super Káno Bros! :) I headcanon that Argon was a bit small and sickly growing up. Then adolescence hit and (much to his delight) he doubled in size overnight. Meanwhile, Fingon has resigned himself to being the shortest of his siblings by a country mile.

Thank you for your kind message and your lovely request!

@vefanyar said: A happy moment between Morwen and Aerin, maybe? Hope you feel better! ♥

“… she was golden as the Vanyar, her mother’s kindred, and she seemed to him as the sun from which all the King’s hall drew its light.”

But not all of Denweg’s people were so eager to leave their home by the Anduin, and Elloth Denethor’s sister was among them. In after days they were called the Tawarwaith, the Wood-elves, and were known as a strange and reclusive folk.

hwarang said: If you’re still taking requests for that palette meme, would you do Caranthir in 14? :) (if you can’t/won’t/don’t want to, it’s alright!)

i would happily have done moryo + 14 seperately, but 14 was requested for another character!!

[gileonnen]

“The heights of Dorthonion and Ered Wethrin held back the fiery torrents, but their woods upon the slopes that looked towards Angband were all kindled … Then Fingolfin beheld (as it seemed to him) the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted upon Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him. He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Oromë himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar.”

Hmm…could we see your take on Turgon pls?

The lord of gondolin has a funky hat I think

Little redesign of Varda to fit a more art nouveau style. I want to see how far I can go with this.

Again she fled, but swift Beril came. Tinuviel! Tinuviel! She called her by her elvish name; And there Lúthien halted listening. One moment stood she, and a spell Her voice laid on her: Beril came, And doom fell on Tinuviel That in her arms lay glistening.

with Lupita Nyong'o as Lúthien and Janina Gavankar as Beril

yesterday’s sketchbook adventure: in my Lalwen era thanks to Virtus et Scientia by @starshadeemilyart so enjoy a speedy travel-pan watercolour of how i picture her in the fic (big rec—go read!) 🫶🏽✨

jewelry, outfit and updo sins are my own as i used a picture of myself at my old university DebSoc Ball as a (loose!) reference for this one… my time there has finally come to some use 😇

@tolkienofcolourweek day six | ordinary people | ioreth

Then an old wife, Ioreth, the eldest of the women who served in that house, looking on the fair face of Faramir, wept, for all the people loved him. And she said: ‘Alas! if he should die. Would that there were kings in Gondor, as there were once upon a time, they say! For it is said in old lore: The hands of the king are the hands of a healer. And so the rightful king could ever be known.’
