The War of Wrath or Eärendil's Return

(omg i am so bad at posting my art in a timely fashion) Anyway, I was very happy to create the cover for last autumn's Flammifer (the magazine of the German Tolkien society. It is a sister piece to my Eärendil art that I made for the cover of Amon Hen, which showed Eärendil's voyage and sacrifices and how people on Arda call out to him from his view. In this image we see him from the perspective of everyone that looks for him in the night sky, as a eucatastrophe returning for a last time.

HIGH KING ARAFINWË

A commission I’ve been working on for some weeks now (as you can probably tell by the amount of detailing in this), featuring High King of the Noldor and the complete opposite of a busybody, Finarfin.

I was allowed entire creative direction here, which I of course took as an opportunity to shill my primary Finarfin headcanon, which is that he looks incredibly young. Like straight up twenty-year-old boy-king level young, even though he’s actually whatever thousand years old. To the point Celebrían, who has grown up and lived entirely around Beleriand veterans and survivors, is just like ‘???’ when she takes her first look at him after sailing. When asked why on earth her grandpa looks younger than her son and whether he blended up Silmaril-debris for his facemasks, Finarfin explains that it has nothing to do with Treelight and that the greatest skincare routine in Arda is known as ‘staying out of shit’.

I used this amazing pattern by the fantastic @peasant-player for his clothing today, overlayed over hand drawn gold embroidery because you can ignore ‘never wear gold with silver’ if you’re the High King — thank you very much and I am greatly appreciative, it worked exactly like I was hoping!

Sons of Finwë and High Kings of the Noldor

Curifinwe , Nolofinwe and Arafinwe

Heres to one of the most dysfunctional siblings relationship in the whole tolkien legenderium. May the fanarts of them never cease. ╰⁠(⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠´⁠꒳⁠`⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠)⁠╯

This is a redraw! I felt that they needed a good cleaning up and i needed to procrastinate from learning to animate and so i did what any sane person would and redrew it lol

Here's the old one from 2023

Safe to say i learned a thing or two

Feanor is over dramatic, so he is both funny to hear and a delight to tease. At the very least, I'm sure his brothers enjoyed parodying his speech. Finwe says he doesn't enjoy Finarfin's parodies, but secretly does.
