Ever. After.

Maedhros at Mereth Aderthad.

(I, like many, think that his hair didn't grow back fast after Angband.)

We Will Survive

Turgon and Glorfindel, crossing the Grinding Ice of Helcaraxё with other noldor elves.

"But they began to suffer anguish from the cold, and the clinging mists through which no gleam of star could pierce..." (J.R.R.T. The Silmarillion)

They will survive.

It's Yuletide again!:)

I still love this old piece - Yuletide in Eregion - two elves and a dwarf making a special bauble.

Butterflies and poetry.

Feast.

Maedhros for @feanorianweek day 1.

Wanted to do all the brothers at a feast, some happy time for each and every, but managed only this one so far:)

[marhelf]

Fingolfin.

The Moon and the Sun followed him to Beleriand and Earendil was his great-grandson, so thought I'd get them all together:)

[marhelf]

Finduilas

"I don't know how to love him..."

(I've always thought that her obsession with Turin was what ruined her)

[marhelf]

The Eagle Wing.

An eagle and an elf

2024

[marhelf]

Palantir

Maglor saw something horrible in the seeing stone. Apparently, a glimpse of the future.

Sublime.

Gildor

[marhelf]

Feanor, summing up the year .

(after he'd invented tengwar :)) but before he made the silmarils.

[marhelf]

Huan and his Luthien.

It was autumn when Huan helped Luthien escape Nargothrond, that's why these hydrangeas.

I drew a version with rowans instead, but liked hydrangeas better:)
