"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. :)

"You humans are barely taller than dwarves.."

"And you elves are as tall and lanky as birches."

It's so hard to put them on a drawing together. He's 7 feet and the Haladin are described as small. I think I made Haleth around 5'5 which makes her a tall Haladin woman. But she's still so smoool

7. The moon was shining in a broad silver crescent. He held up the map and the white light shone through it. “What is this?” he said. “There are moonletters here, beside the plain runes which say ‘five feet high the door and three may walk abreast.’”

Idol I (2025) + Do Ra-ik's mental health and kpop fandom culture.

Violent Fans: Ra-ik is pulled and thrown to the ground by a "fan". Entitlement: A fan grows upset and demands to be given his phone number, ending in throwing a paper at him, causing an injury. Mobbing: Intense, often harassing, group behaviors by obsessive fans. Clipping: Refers to fans cutting up long videos into short,clips, in this context, to portay him in a bad light, putting actions and thoughts into him. Sasaengs: Obsessive fans, particularly within the K-pop industry, who engage in stalking and other behaviors that severely violate the privacy of idols, actors, and other public figures.

From two episodes so far, Do Ra-ik seems to display many real and raw mental health issues related to his life as an idol: High-functioning depression , identity disturbance (or loss of identity), clearly anxiety and panic attack, abuse of stupefied substances like alcohol , dissociation and hallucinations (flashbacks and auditory memories ).
