Iris van Herpen: 'Capriole, Ensemble' (2011)

[conundrumoftime]

Woke up this morning remembering that Rings of Power had Elrond doing haute ecole moves in battle:

That move is a capriole and I love it here not only because it looks really cool but because it fits so nicely in-universe. These are movements that originally developed from cavalry training moves and are now a stylised highly skilled art form:

But even though these moves probably weren't ever designed to be done like this in battle, if there's ever a cavalry that would absolutely spend decades perfecting beautiful performance art to use in brutal bloodthirsty warfare it is Tolkien elves. Well done Elrond, your foster dads would be þo proud of you.

A capriole! Really liked working on this one; plus I recorded it, so you can (eventually) watch me suffer to make it! (It was hard but it's fine that's just art). Definitely improved on backgrounds though lol
