The beautiful appearance of the Giver of Gifts, Melkor. The prototype of Annatar

Then one appeared among us, in our own form visible, but greater and more beautiful; and he said that he had come out of pity. [...]

Then we looked and lo! he was clad in raiment that shone like silver and gold, and he had a crown on his head, and gems in his hair. ‘If ye wish to be like me,’ he said, ‘I will teach you.’ Then we took him as teacher.

I had a version with short hair, but I abandoned it

I'd been meaning to draw Arwen ever since re-reading Fellowship way back in the Spring, and here we are all the way at the end of Summer with me recently finished Return of the King. Jirt describes Arwen during the Council of Elrond as wearing this silver-on-silver-on-silver outfit that's frankly very boring to draw, and I'm blaming the delay on that.

The Fëanorian family back in the peaceful days of Valinor

Imagine you had unlimited funding and creative control to adapt an existing piece of Media (any type) into a New Form (any type). What would you adapt and what's the thing your adaptation would do with the source text?

Glorfindel, Lord of the House of the Golden Flower

Click for better quality, art reqs open, DM about commissions

Inspired by @mnimeresponding's request for pride Glorfindel because I hadn't drawn him before. Pushing the niche Glor-is-Írimë-post-transition agenda.

Design notes below

I headcanon that the elves would use... modified bust bodices? more than actual binders (I've seen them called that, compressionless binders, and other things I don't remember, I'm not sure what the most accurate term is. Here's an example). This probably isn't explained well but basically they work through building out the silhouette instead of actually compressing the chest so they can be safer and more comfortable if used properly.

He has a couple gold prosthetic fingers courtesy of the Helcaraxë.

Apparently it was a Roman practice to put gold dust in hair, and it might have also been around briefly during the Victorian era. Anyway Glor does that, he needs to be as shiny as possible.

levantine arwen undómiel

specifically lebanese and moderately inspired by my own family. this is a wip forever, i’m afraid.

And so they stood on the walls of the City of Gondor, and a great wind rose and blew, and their hair, raven and golden, streamed out mingling in the air.
