Master of Wolves, whose shivering howl/ for ever echoed in the hills and foul/ enchantments and dark sigaldry/ did weave and wield. In glamoury/ that necromancer held his hosts/ of phantoms and or wandering ghosts/ of misbegotten or spell wronged/ monsters that about him thronged/ working his bidding dark and vile/ the werewolves of the Wizard's Isle.

-The Lay of Leithian

Gorthaur and his folk haunting the woods.

Good morning to people who are turned into birds as they jump from sea cliffs, sad beach cryptids, bad bitches who live in hidden cities, one-handed tragic figures, spirits of fire, victims of shipwrecks, people with great hair, receivers of ominous dreams and foresight, werewolves who thought they were the worst in the land but weren’t, unnamed wives and sentient malevolent swords

I have waited too long — Morwen.

The Myth.

This one was created as the last artwork of 2023.

More of a mythical/symbolic imagery than a realistic illustration.

What if Crablor remained elf-sized after his carcinisation? Like a full-ass giant crab wandering the beaches of Middle-earth, being sad, making mournful little tunes by scraping his (huge) claws together.

Just the fucking Shelob of crabs over here.

I should go to sleep.

Best I can do is a shitty doodle (haven’t seen Bolt :<)

This is so random thought but I was wondering if there's any 'heritage post' blogs for the Silm fandom. I mean those ones that collect like iconic memes, fanon origin stories and other interesting and influential posts about the fandom and its history.

While the silmarillion fandom is on the smaller side, it is relatively old and it has and has had quite active userbase, so I suppose it should have enough material for upkeeping one(?). I couldn't find any blogs like that(y'know how fuctional tumblr's search is), but pls tell me if you know one! I think they're funny okay

As Maeglin grew to full stature he resembled in face and form rather his kindred of the Noldor, but in mood and mind he was the son of his father. His words were few save in matters that touched him near, and then his voice had a power to move those that heard him and to overthrow those that withstood him.

How I imagine him. Haha this is the first thing I've drawn in 4 years. Inspired by that one Sabriel book cover.
