Sketch of an alternative cover option for the og Brazilian edition of H. Pueyo's "But Not Too Bold", a Monster romance with capital M ;)

cover I made for the og Brazilian edition of H. Pueyo's "But Not Too Bold"!

General plot points would sound like a Tumblr DNI list if I tried to explain it, but when it is all said and done, the story is quite romantic (for those who like sapphics, spiders and monsters!)

Except from the compilation of letters written by merchant and explorer Emilliona Germana during her visit of the Little Peninsula:

(...) One would expect to find monarchs such as these in the throes of conspiracy against each other. In truth their Majesties are rather like two mummers delivering variations of their domestic Comedy, and if morning sees them donning their irate masks, evening finds them dining in perfect harmony. (...) Indeed when the news went around that the king would be visiting the border to oversee (...) the unease between the royal couple was most obvious (...) his Majesty might have seemed anxious to leave the seat of power entirely in his rival’s hands, yet I was later informed — do not ask by which means — that indeed the queen had commissioned Ignazia de Triova— our very own Ignazia! Who has found good sport in this court as small as her ambitions — to produce an intricate yet diminutive set of pieces reproducing — her Majesty’s wardrobe! So that her husband the king might amuse himself not just by keeping a likeness of her like so many lovers are wont, but also by dressing and undressing her at will — ribaldry fit for common lovers, unthinkable in a king, let alone in one so terribly offended by the spouse he later acquired in revenge. It is for that reason that I suspect this to be mere gossip — and yet I have from indisputable sources that Ignazia de Triova’s studio is littered with drawings of dresses (...)

I've just realized I never shared my entry for last year's Hamiathes Gift Exchange! I gifted this to SpaceJackalope, who asked for fashion headcanons. I wish I had had more time to work on it and polish it more, but now that some time has passed, I find I do like this a lot. I should have a print-and-cut friendly version.. maybe another time!

young attolia

I was very carried away by the adorableness of bird snuggle last night not until I saw anon’s ask did the Númenórean significance dawn on me like nude. paintings. of Eärendil — whom they’ve never seen so all these are imaginations and ideals — in Númenórean bathrooms and bedchambers…

[echoofthemusic]

You know Leda paintings? Always much more playful and sensual than the actual tale, a lovely woman snuggling a swan with varying degrees of eroticism and suggestiveness? Something like that motif during Vanimelde’s reign in Númenor, but it’s Earendil and Elwing-bird with the Nauglamir, in his chambers aboard Vingilot (@elwing)

*submitting bc the world needs to know about ant-burning Eärendil*

@ratashionista submitted:

So, about the very interesting Ancalagon discussion and how on Earth you redirect the Silmaril’s light to cause enough damage to kill him…

I’d like to point out that Beren’s hand held the Silmaril and the Silmaril alone, whereas it must’ve been mounted on something for Eärendil to be able to wear it on his forehead (my only copy of the Silmarillion is a print copy in Spanish so please excuse the lack of quotes). If the Valar had a hand in making the bling wearable, maybe they made it with the specific purpose to turn it into a weapon, and the setting has the property to sort of convey the Silmaril’s power like a laser.

Alternatively, if the omni-directional evil-blasting power of the Silmaril was indeed a thing that could not be contained or directed, maybe they were battling too high in the air for it to affect any other creature than Ancalagon.

That, or Eärendil used to burn ants with a magnifying glass as a child and found a pretty cool new use for the SIlmaril XD

One one hand, you are right about them being too high being a wonderful excuse for the Silmaril light working against Ancalagon but not affecting the armies down below

On the other hand

Eärendil’s deadly magnifying glass

Gimilzôr fell in love with Inzilbêth the first time he saw her in typical Western Númenorean riding attire

[crocordile]

This is not exactly what was requested, but te prompt got me wondering what kind of person Dite would fall in love with after mending his broken heart, and this is all I could think of...

This was drawn as a treat for @allcanonisrelative for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!

[crocordile]

Irene and Sophos enjoying some time off, an illustration inside my gift fic 'Between the mountains and the sea' for @saessenach for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!

I stood there thinking of the Namreen hunting me and the rewards they would post. Or maybe they’d found my master’s plaque next to the slave dead under the rockslide and no one was looking for me at all." — Thick as Thieves, chapter 10

This work was a gift fot @kareenvorbarra and @artino-c for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!

After reading @kareenvorbarra's What We Are Allowed, I have been thinking a lot about how Laela must have felt when she heard Kamet was supposed to have died in a rockslide...

The bracelet is the one Kamet buys for her on chapter 1 of Thick as Thieves; the design is based on the description on the fic mentioned above.

This fancomic is a gift for @artino-c -- based on a prompt from last year's @hamiathesgiftexchange, but I only finished it this year!

[Transcript:

The first time I saw you, at the temple The plague had started, timid yet. Impossibly, you made everyone laugh, Including me.

The second time I saw you, you didn't see me. It was the solstice night, after the games. You were praying to a goddess with such tender devotion, You kissed her hands and I thought, I wish that were me.

The third time I saw you, I gave you my heart, Honest and bitter, That is, my wisdom. You gagged on it, But when I kissed you, you didn't protest. On the next day, with a crown on your head, You had no kisses or smiles for anyone And I thought, Good.

The last time I saw you Was yesterday. You were happy, And so was I. You kissed me Not like you kiss your husband Not like you kiss your god Not like you kiss your sister You kissed me like only you could kiss me And I smiled because I knew You would kiss me again.]
