Fingon the Valiant: Post Re-Embodiment DILF Era

I can’t actually imagine what situation would have him wear his robes so wide open but on the other hand I’d probably pay a Formenos real estate premium (you know Fëanor has a little landlord on his shoulder and charges his nephews rent for visiting) for this view, so on and so forth.

thank you so much to everyone who gave me tablet tips and sent me brush packs (especially that brocade one on the sashes… will be very handy 😩🫶🏽) across the last couple of days! 14 hours and 26 layers in, here it is! i really enjoyed not having to mix colours by hand but i’m still finding it hard to get steady clean lines as i’m getting used to the tablet, hence why this is very messy and I went for a classical palette to gel with it, but tbh i don’t hate the brushstrokes…

sketch, WIP shots + screaming in this thread + thankies to @tobermoriansass for ‘hairy elliot gould fingon’ inspiration from your wonderful mind, that pic of him leaning on a balcony was my vision here.

What are your opinions on Narsil being Maedhros’s sword, then Elros’s and making its way to Elendil’s line?

Wait no wait hang on this is really funny... Narsil was Maedhros' sword and Elros stole it but it's like... five feet long and was completely unwieldable and languished in vaults for millenia UNTIL 7'11 Elendil picked it up like 'finally a sword made for ME' and this explains the question of 'how did they find all the shards of this damn sword in the middle of a fetid battlefield' they didn't... but the amount of shards they DID find was enough to reforge into a normal size damn sword. I'm consuming this concept into my internal canon.

#this sword being for Maedhros Feanorian The Tall a man who was 8 feet tall on a good day who was crazy enough to use this zweihander#in his non dominant hand#being stolen by his squishy half elf ward-son kidnappee and then floating around Numenor not unlike Excalibur#becaue Nobody can lift this fucking thing without stabbing their feet#finally coming to chad Amandil and just by virtue or whatever Elendil's Dad is the only one in like 2000 years who can hold this thing#I find this deeply funny if the thing to help defeat Sauron is Maedhros the Kinslayer's Impossible Sword#to be fair if you were an orc and this Fae Terror stood at Himring where the snow is at his waist holding a four foot sword with one hand#and naught but the glint of the steely determination of undiluted eldest daughter energy and attitude of 'If Sauron isn't going to kill me#you sure as hell aren't going to' It would be a pretty good deterrent is all I'm saying

~9 feet tall and using a zweihander in his bad hand because he lost his good one, mind you.

ITS DONE!

After 179 hours of stitching, too much black thread to count, and some very tired fingers, my Beleriand Map is complete!

But also not entirely complete, because I need to wash the pattern paper off and then quilt back it. This entire thing needs to go in my bathtub (it’s too big to fit in the sink!) and so I’m gonna be having nightmares tonight about it all falling apart when I go to wash it. It shouldn’t - it won’t - because that’s not how anything works, but my brain will still worry 😛

Also obligatory picture of the back of the embroidery below:

He got 3 more after that.

No crown you wore in the night of chains,

Yet brighter than jewels your spirit blazed.

In Sauron’s halls your last breath waned,

Yet undying you rise, while we mourn always.

this is just a fun little doodle of mine so plz ignore any inconsistency

my rock n roll brain rot strikes again, now all I can think of is elves in fabulous clothes, I have no idea how this au work, I just need an excuse for elves to wear bell bottoms and shiny suit jackets.

(I was listening to Acid and T.Rex while drawing and I want to steal Marc Bolan's entire closet.)

Put a shirt on! for TRSB 2025

Glorfinde's continued state of undress is becoming difficult to deal with for Erestor. Who can blame him?

This years TRSB has been a blast! The collab with quothhh was absolutely wonderful! They're the best partner I could have wished for! The tone of their writing is exactly what I had imagined! Our talks were always filled with joy and laughter! (Okay, mostly squeaking on my part about their writing!)

I can't wait to read the whole thing! Go and read it here! (link coming soon)

Here more to the art process: I've wanted to draw Glorf shirtless basically every day. Because why not?

This one mostly focuses on composition and lighting, keeping the details simple. Their body language is more important to me than design this time.

Once I had the outline, it was just carefully shading and rendering everything.

Mer!Maedhros and Fingon from @ma-aurelius´s mermaid AU, you can read here on AO3, go check it out, it is worth it! - I think I have reread it three times? Except for the newest chapter, I have reread twice.

This is inspired by the first two scenes of Fingon trying to carry Coppertop (Maedhros), the first being pure angst and the other being comedy, I loved them both equally XD
