Morgoth

The idea and scenario of this comic belong to ASPARKLETHATISBLUE, I was merely an artist on this one. An amazing original comic is here

Sweet lad, o come and join me, do! Such pretty games I will play with you.

I love you, for your comeliness charms me, my boy! And if you’re not willing, my force I’ll employ.

My take on Mairon

[imakemywings]

Thinking about Finrod meeting Celebrian in Aman and it would be important for them ofc because they’re family and Finrod is one of three uncles Celebrian never got to meet before, but also–Finrod knows what it’s like to be held captive by the forces of Sauron and tormented. Yes, by this point I’m sure there are other reborn Elves who also know that pain–but Finrod has both. And maybe it would mean something to Celebrian, to know her celebrated uncle, king of Nargothrond and crown prince of Tirion, who in Galadriel’s recollections is almost always cheerful and energetic, knows what it is like to wake screaming in the night with the feeling of your tormentors’ hands around your throat. Knew what it was like to feel weak, and helpless, and defeated: to be faced with something more than you could overcome, to fail and have to handle the consequences of that.

I think she could perhaps find some reassurance in that.

@feanorianweek Day 2: Maglor (plus one!)

Back then, Maglor was deeply frustrated about how easily his aunt Lalwendë seemed to play the clavichord

Nowadays Maglor is a master of this instrument plus several others, and looks at those old sessions with some bittersweet fondness.

@feanorianweek​ Día 2: Maglor (y acompañante!)

En aquel entonces Maglor esta profundamente frustrado por lo fácil que su tía Lalwendë parecía tocar el clavicordio.

En tiempos recientes Maglor es ya un maestro en este instrumento y muchos otros, y recuerda aquellas viejas lecciones con cariño un tanto agridulce.

Day 1 of @feanorianweek: Nelyafinwë occupies himself drawing while the grown-ups talk discuss politics, but when Grandfather asks to see his work, he's a little shy.

(Prompt: Maedhros, childhood)

[stardustmuguet]

@feanorianweek day 1 Maedhros 🔥

[chromapipeweed]

@feanorianweek Day 1: Maedhros

I know the cliff should be steeper (and I did draft one) but this ref pose I came across just inspired my lizard brain more

@secondageweek 2023 - Day 3: “Dwarves”

Celebrimbor and Narvi - “We did it!”
