An Elendil portrait!

My idea was to make a traditional-style portrait of young Elendil commissioned by his father to show off honor his heir.

I was DYING to use craquelure textures so I'm pretty happy with the result :)

(I was mostly inspired by the stone statues his ship passes by when entering Númenor in TROP ep 3)

The two newest chapters of my Akallabêth-based fanfic Andúnië Means Sunset

(It's been a while... but I'll post it anyway)

Fanfic summary:

The daughter of Amandil of Andúnië (OFC) records her memories of the last decades of Númenor: the crises of her society, the strife of her family, her marriage to the Enemy, and the turbulent lives of their two sons.

18. Rifts and Bridges

19. An Eastern Legend (contains a lot of head-canon about Rhûn)

(None of the artworks in the chapter covers belong to me)

@secondageweek​ day six | original characters | minasdil of andúnië

         Minasdil was the child of Eärendur, and the sixteenth leader of Andúnië. Their cousin Indilquettë should have inherited leadership after her mother’s retirement, but the title passed to Minasdil instead when she became Arî-Inzilbêth, queen to the wicked Ar-Gimilzôr.          Though Inzilbêth convinced her husband not to banish the Faithful to Middle-earth, Gimilzôr still distrusted them and commanded that Minasdil move their people east to the haven of Rómenna under his surveillance. Minasdil would have protested this order had Inzilbêth not confided in them that her visions of the future foretold that this migration would save the Faithful in the end.

A Place for Such Joy as Theirs

Embittered by Aldarion's departure on a long overseas journey against her will, Erendis dismisses the pair of wonderful Elven-birds that were given to her by visitors from Tol Eressea at her wedding. The birds briefly visit Erendis's parents on their way back to Tol Eressea, but will not let themselves be touched and afterwards, it seems, they are not seen or heard again.

 "Sweet fools, fly away!" Erendis says. "This is no place for such joy as yours."

I have written a fix-it for this, sort of.

Written for a Silmarillion Writers Guild Challenge and posted here to the SWG Archive.

Featuring original female characters.

Hello, @andunie is gone (pending response from support)

Well! Several hours ago I was hit with an account termination notice right in the middle of a page refresh, and my painstakingly tagged and archived blog of 10 years, 9 months (and trove of bookmarks) has just been yeeted into the ether.

I have no idea what could've prompted this. What are people's experiences with contacting support? How long do responses take/are there regularly requests that are never answered?

My last backup was made during the Great Purge of 2018, and I've had search indexing disabled for some years also, so no Wayback Machine/archive.org for me. This part's my bad, but. Fuck.
