Maedhros fan tumbling through cyberspace

And I still haven't figured out how Tumblr works...

My side blog for more Tolkien reblogs

I can also be found on Dreamwidth and Discord (also as "hhimring").

Content warnings (if required): I try not to reblog anything I perceive as hurtful to real human beings and I do attempt to tag with cw tags where it occurs to me there might be a need, but please note that I cannot and will not promise that my blogs are a "safe space" and adjust your expectations accordingly. Also, if anyone is concerned about age, I have been active in fannish spaces since 2009 and was a long way past minority even then.

Arrival in Barad Nimras

@silmarillionepistolary

It would be overstating matters a bit to say this letter relates to exploration and new lands (as per the prompts for Day 2), but the author of the letter has just taken up a new post in a new location. She is Edhellos, the widow of Prince Angrod, recently a refugee from Dorthonion.

Edhellos, now Warden of White Horn Tower, to Cirdan, Lord of Eglarest and Brithombar.

Thank you again for all the gracious assistance you have lent us! I am happy to report that all is going well so far in this our new venture. Although the previous warden you had installed was evidently very glad to be away—I gather Carallim had greatly missed serving you on a ship, which is his true vocation, and being stuck in a tower staring out over the sea was a poor substitute for him—we found everything in Barad Nimras in extremely good working order and I trust we will succeed in keeping it so.

I have put up the naltalma apparatus in the pavilion on the viewing platform and turned the largest room on the floor below into my room of records. Your people are viewing these manifestations of Noldorin newfangledness with some scepticism.  Captain Feinnen, in particular, may have something to say you about this, when you next meet. As the plan is for him to be stationed here regularly with me, when he is not patrolling the coast, I hope I can convince him that I am not more eccentric than he can tolerate!

I will write again soon, when we have settled in a little more. I wish to be useful to you, my friend, and not only by freeing up Carallim for other duties closer to his heart.

Edhellos

With thanks to Chestnut for the names of the two Falathrim characters.

Maglor, inspired by art I saw last time I was in Uzbekistan and featuring a pattern created by @peasant-player. Details under the cut

Here are the two main images I used as inspiration when drawing this

The first is from the museum of applied arts in Tashkent, the second is from the subway station Buyuk Ipak Yo'li. The instrument is based on a dutar. The vest is using Peasant's most recent pattern, which reminded me of a lot of art I saw in Uzbekistan as well.

My tablet really really struggled with this so I had to make the drawing lower quality than intended.

Redraw of the picture below the cut. About two years later, more focus on shadows and poses.
