"The Seven gathered again" for TRSB 2025

Inspired by the passage:

[...] but now hearing of the renewal of Doriath and of Dior's pride the seven gathered again from wandering, and they sent to him to claim their own. – The Silmarillion, Chapter 22, Of the Ruin of Doriath

This moment always hits me hard. It's the last time they meet, and it just gives me feels!

All of that and more is captured in the story to all things housed in silence by queerofthedagger! The depth of the story was so inspiring for me! Go read it!

To the process:

For this one, I mainly focused on color palette, design, and most importantly, the composition.

They're one family, so I imagine they all come in their family colors. However, a sea of red would look boring. Luckily, the family also wears a lot of gold! Mixing some green into it, we now have at least three colors we can use.

For the design, I wanted to play into their personalities: Maedhros always prepared for battle, Caranthir with extra jewels since he's rich, and the twins being hunters, wearing more simple and practical clothing.

And then there's composition. I wanted to make sure there's still a lot going on and the tension is high, with just them sitting around a table, talking.

Once all of this was decided, it's just painstakingly rendering all of it. :)

Hey! I hope your studies are doing great!

I was wondering how your Maedhros would look like with Fingon ornaments (necklace, rings, golden ribbon etc). I bet he is stunning.

Have a nice day!

Thanks! I'm currently avoiding doing anything for uni by drawing, so you're lucky. You'll get a sketch before I go to bed :D

My first submission for this year's @fall-for-tolkien S&D event! Fingon and Turgon reunite during the Battle of Unnumbered Tears for the first time since Turgon went away to Gondolin. I wonder how that'll turn out! :'''D
