Kidnap Family

Had fun drawing this little group.

A little snapshot into the life of the sons of Fëanor after taking in the abandoned twins Elrond and Elros.

Some Silmarillion fans see this time as tragic and others see it is heartwarming. I think it is fair to allow for both in equal measure.

Manwë Sulimo

Manwë Sulimo, the King of the Valar and Lord of the Airs of Arda... appointed to his position of authority by Eru Iluvatar as his heart was closest to the One.

Manwë is the younger brother to Melkor, and he is married to Varda the Lady of the Stars. The relationships described in lore for him are few... but highlight Manwë's gentle spirit, forgiving nature, and his inability to comprehend evil.

WHO'S THAT AND WHY IS SHE PRETTY?!

Guys i do NOT look that good, trust

Though I am glad that there was an option tha was close to how my glasses actually look

Anyways the conclusion to draw here is that I am the lovable side character who gets killed in the second book (not in the first because I'm not completely stupid, but i won't survive through it all because I'm not that smart after all)

Noble Lady

A return to my old art style in an attempt to soothe a stressful week.

I was working on some more complex art of Melian in this pose in the enchanted woods of her chosen home, but frustration mounted. To prevent myself from losing the spark I had about her I decided to simply make the pose in a simple and dramatic style.

I may return to the 30 hour version I had begun at a later date… but for the moment, colors evade me.

Twin Trouble (WIP)

This is a work in progress piece related to the Silmarillion by Tolkien. At one point the last living sons of Fëanor (Maedhros and Maglor) end up taking in and raising the twin sons of Elwing and Eärendil. These sons are Elrond and Elros.

Yes, that means the little boy on the left will be Lord Elrond of Rivendell some day.

Whether the sons of Fëanor functioned as foster parents or captors is up for debate in the fandom but we know at least that Maglor became very fond of them.

I hope to continue working on this piece and others like it.

[gracefallingart]

Omg you're intersex? I saw the flag on your pinned post.

Would you mind if I asked whether you're androgynous, or if it is possible to misgender you at all?

I am intersex, yes.

I am somewhat androgynous. I look more like a handsome intense looking woman than a man, but if I didn't have the chest I do, I would look like a pretty man in my personal opinion.

Self portraits.

I used to be mistaken for a boy much of my childhood and well into puberty as well because while I dressed very theatrically... it was not always feminine, which was what I was assigned at birth despite internal organ variety and hormone levels.

You are the first to ask about it on this platform.

[gracefallingart]

So like do you ship angbang or just think of them as bffs

I like them as boss and employee, best friends, lovers, husbands, or anything in between. But I would note that I don't see them as abusive. Nothing in the text would indicate that either suffered while working with the other.

Personally, I love them as husbands. 😉

Mairon Expressions

More expression practice! This time I had Mairon (Sauron) help me out, but honestly he was not as keen on it as Melkor was.

Sometimes drawing a character is like asking them to sit with you and model, occasionally they oblige, often they refuse or do it with an attitude.

But anyway, here is hoping that I am improving my expression drawing abilities despite it being something I really struggle with in art. Gotta develop the skills to properly make the comics I dream of!

[gracefallingart]

Melkor Expressions

In an effort to move closer to my goals of creating a Silmarillion comic series I have been studying expressions in comic art and applying them to my character designs.

This is my first finished expression sheet, so a big thank you to Melkor the Dark Lord for being my practice partner once again. Many more to go, and I hope to see technique and character consistency improve as I work at it.

[gracefallingart]

Barren Fortress

This is just me working on backgrounds for future projects, but if you can imagine there will be a beautiful and sunny / warm version of this exact landscape before it became corrupted.

[gracefallingart]

Dwarf Family Lines

Disclaimer: Yes, I know Dís and Thorin II have a brother named Frerin, I will have him on the larger graph coming up.

Movie Version: This was fun! They made Thorin so young and brave / handsome, which is NOT how he is in the book.

Book version: Thorin was Older (195), and is described as having a white beard, while wearing a blue hood / hooded cap with a silver tassel on the end of it. Fili and Kili were similarly described as wearing blue hoods with tassels, and both being blonde!

Yes I made my dwarf women have beards… I like them that way.

When I posted this on other sites I got people trying to tell me that Dís married someone named Vili… but I found that to be fanon (totally fine… but I will just leave him unnamed). Same with the wife of Thráin and Thrór… people had fandom names for them but nothing I could find confirmed in Tolkien’s writings.

Ulmo & Ulmo

One of my wonderful friends and Patreon members requested that I try my hand at drawing their version of Ulmo: Lord of Waters and Depths from Tolkien's Silmarillion, in my style.

This was hugely fun but took longer than expected because I decided to put our Ulmos in frame together. Her design is truly breathtaking, and I adored drawing his sea foam hair and chainmail.

Please check out their original art. They are hugely skilled and have an amazing art style! Follow their Tumblr or Patreon here! @kimbapkimi

Thank you for your request! I had a blast.

Anakin Skywalker

This was one of those hidden palette challenges that my members on Patreon voted for in a survey... (you know, the make a crazy color collection, then turn it all greytone and draw, then turn color back on and see what you have made...) that thing...

I will NOT be attempting this again, but huge respect to the people who can do this properly and not overthink it like I did.

Also I picked a pose that I liked from the films not thinking about how so much of his face would be lost... (still I really always like when films have this pose).

Not my usual Silmarillion or LOTR content, but here you go anyway... 🫠

[gracefallingart]

Estë the Gentle

She is the Valie of Healing but also associated with Rest, Estë is not considered to be very powerful, but she does have her own unique place in Tolkien’s lore. She is married to Irmo the Vala of Dreams and Visions, and spends much of her time in the Gardens of Lórien with him there.

[gracefallingart]

Moth Girl

I had art block, so instead of sitting on my hands and feeling the gut churning pain of no productivity despite a head filled with do-draw lists... I just decided to draw an OC in a different style.

The unfortunate consequence is that now I REALLY want her shoes...

This art should not be taken as an endorsement of smoking or lolling about in a bathing suit... 😗😉

[gracefallingart]

Vairë the Weaver

My vision of Vairë the Weaver of Fate, wife of Námo Mandos, and a powerful Valie.

Not sure who I will do next...

Tapestry background is "the Orchard" by William Morris, edited and toned by me to suit the scene.
