CELEGORM

an atmospheric rendering of a re-embodied Celegorm with Huan 2.0 commissioned by the excellent @justdrowthings, pictured here changing into his hunting gear in the forests for the first time after being re-embodied, feeling scritchy and ever so alive 🐕 the dog gives no shits. the dog says ‘glad you like the sun and shit but pay attention to me’.

I saw that you are doing request?

As part of the Fluithuin cult

I'm obligated to ask for her

you probably never heard of our mother and that's mine and 4 others ppl fault and not because she is a super rare character that is just mentioned in Tolkiens notes 💀

We are really trying our best to spread the cult but we all have the attention span of cute fat gold fish's 😔

Oh yes I've seen the art of that niche character, i love when people take super obscure characters and make them into something. I think reworking her into another fallen Maia would be what I imagine her to be. i have no clue how an 'ogress' fits into the lore 🤣🤔 (please don't send more requests. I want to work off what I have already gotten.)

maemags is my xie zheng and gongsun yin. i won’t elaborate

[mycelliumelium]

Grandpa Finwë can get it. No wonder he managed to pull two bad bitches.

[goldenatreides]

i did not think i would ever get a “why is this elf black” question in this day and age on this app but wow do people never cease to amaze me

like… i am sure celegorm didn’t explicitly lick knives freaky style in canon jrrt text either but him being darker than what you imagined is where the line is for creative interpretations of a fictional elf???

“he is not haradrim and all the elves in the legendarium are white” hm. ok. ok. hmmm. hm

edit: guys that whole thread got so much worse i’m crying real tears omg

Feanorian lineups are apparently a rite of passage for silm artists, so I wanted to include Feanor and Nerdanel but they're on honeymoon.

On the days Elwing longs to be back in those caves again, speaking of them to the birds of Aman is the only thing that takes her there. How strange, that those cramped, reeking, salt-worn hollows, temporary as everything else in her early life, are the most enduring thing she carries. Even stranger, that she can close her eyes in the eternal gardens of Aman and still feel Sirion's rock caves under her feet, her caves, those unforgiving labyrinths, studded with sharp seaglass and crusted barnacles, slick with bladder-wrack and kelp. Where she need only call but once for her children and trust the caves to send her voice to wherever they'd wandered.

a rough piece i did today to try and experiment a little, drawn entirely freehand in 60 mins with a single oil brush with no undersketch, featuring beloved Elwing in the grips of sleeplessness and solitude in Valinor, words from the sonorous dark 😇 thank you @peasant-player for encouraging the style experimentation

tolkien fans be like: I read all of jirt's notes scribbled on the back of a napkin in 1935 so I can properly write fanfic about rich assholes screaming at each other during a family reunion

[kibutsulove]

teenage girls in numenor were too busy writing feanor x thingol feanor lives au fanfiction to give a fuck about sauron’s gay little devil worshipping pyramid scheme

[gemsoflasgalen]

i like to think celegorm is just a freak like that

Gil Galad's chief councilors and source of headaches.

Two half-elves: one the Eldritch scion of pretty much every royal line—human and elven—and the other, the Fëanorian hardliner that may or may not be an actual Fëanorian. Both are having a dubious claim to your throne and a total disinterest in it at the same time.
