We met Alton Brown at a show he did here - we paid the extra cash to meet him and get a blurry cellphone pic with him and have him sign a picture. He noticed my (male) companion’s pocket watch, and proceeded to order him to take it out of his pocket. It wasn’t obnoxious, it was in a Dom tone that brooked no argument. So he complied. When he found out it wasn’t wound, and so not working, he was deeply disappointed, and told him to do better next time. 

If this guy isn’t a Dom, I’ll eat that spreader bar.

Maedhros.... The idea is actually premature, it was supposed to be a raw concept of Maedhros, I vaguely had him in my mind and need to sketch him as soon as possible. It turns out to be very good, I like it, it's perfect. I think I found my Maedhros.

@silmarilasta Day 12: Kingship. Happy Maedhros Monday? idk if that’s a thing but I might make it one, lol.

@silmarilasta Day 11: Ring! I cleverly decided to draw the Ring of Doom….then realized that I had no idea how to draw that. So I attempted to come up with symbols for each Vala…I don’t know if I succeeded.

In clockwise order from the top center, the Valar represented are Manwe, Varda, Aule, Yavanna, Irmo, Este, Nienna, Namo, Vaire, Nessa, Tulkas, Vana, Orome, and Ulmo.

For @silmarilasta Day 9: Shiny!

This one kind of got away from me? The title is “Lechind” which is the Sindarin term for Amanyar who have the Light of the Trees in their eyes - that’s what I was going for, the intimidating shinyness of their eyes. But really this is just an excuse to draw some of my favorite Noldor, lol.

Finno has a bow and arrows and a plumed helmet; Maglor’s weapons are obscured by his gigantic brother and the edge of the page, but he’s duel-wielding; Mae’s sword is still sheathed on his back. Also, Maglor is wearing a cape, idk if that came across.

For the Hands prompt I decided to do Maedhros’s prosthetic inside of his war tent.

for @silmarilasta day 6: hands!

…………I would apologize but I do feel this is something Maedhros could get behind.

Maitimo: No, no, wait– Findekano, crying: I’m so sorry I don’t want to do this but I love you too much to leave you here– Maitimo: No I said wait not stop, just let me– Maitimo: (readjusts the hand so it’s flipping off Morgoth) Maitimo: ok THERE we go, get chopping Finno! Findekano: ………. (cuts off the hand)
