Hello!

I'm currently writing a Dark Souls / Elden Ring crossover fic featuring Gwyndolin as the main POV.

I also commission artists to draw certain scenes that happen in this story. Always happy to add more!

Dark Sun Gwyndolin comissioned by @emperorxofxdestruction 💛

Invincible Gwyndolin!

A gunslinger, a hypnotist, a kung fu master, an ice-cold killer, a dragon in his own regard, and the most venomous snake in the world!

My contribution for chapter 2 (soon!), based on a scene where Gwyndolin uses a footbath to deal with the shedding of his snake legs, lol.

Baby Gwyndolin!

No, I don't think he was actually wearing a sun headpiece as a baby, but it's just too iconic not to include. xD

Art done by the amazing @celinedesigns ! Now, the only piece still missing from the first chapter is my own art, haha! But I'm sure I'll get it done this week.

Corrupted Maia of Irmo.

This is Kurúki "I'm not an OC" the evil magician.

Thanks, @lanthanum12 without you I wouldn't even know this character existed. Kurúki is part of the scrapped early version of Túrin's story and since we don't even know their gender, free non-binary character, I guess?

So, everything further down is a complete ass pull of mine while sketching the character and only true to my own verse.

Kurúki is a total Sauron fanboy and used to be a Maia of Irmo. He has psychedelic hair, red pupilless eyes and used to have moth-like wings... which he changed to look more like his idol. His specialty are illusions and phantoms. He even works as a double for Sauron to act as a decoy for his enemies. Apart from that he does handmaiden work for him... like altering his wardrobe if Sauron adjusts his form... or dressing and washing him... everything Adar would like to do, rofl.

Since I get nothing done right now, have some old art.

Mairon before he became the copper-haired menace. Tho, the mopey expression means he was restored from his poltergeist stage post 4th Age. Now, what to do with life? Fight on Melkor's side and go out with a bang during the Dagor Dagorath? Void? Mandos? Scrubbing the floors of Valmar for all eternity? How do you redeem such a character? Can they even be redeemed?

Ruinous path into the Void

I call this design Splendid!Melkor or uwu-Melkor and he punched me right back to last year where my art style became all big ass shadows and thick outlines because of a certain Hades game that gave my hands early stage arthritis... Anyway, that's the design he uses to convince people that he is good and well-meaning and totally trustworthy. As for Sauron, I call this design 1st-Age-Sauron where he was less about being trustworthy and more about being scary. Not that he is very scary.

As for Hades... My first idea for this blog was to create "Mandos - the Game" where Fëanor tries to escape Mandos and gets blessings from the Valar that support him and he meets a bunch of people and anons could decide who to visit and pay most attention to. Well, I struggled coming up with a Fëanor design and therefore that idea is benched for now. *sad trumpet sound*

No new chapter yet, I still have to edit the second half. But here is a sneak peak. After getting roofied and shamed by Melkor for being a genderfluid half-furry, Sauron develops some self-doubts. Adar tries to comfort him. Tries. (That sounds like the bad summary of a Netflix episode, lol!)

[laurelonde]

Sauron gets caught by Oromë's hunter. And that means chapter 3 is finally out!
