Feanorian lineups are apparently a rite of passage for silm artists, so

I wanted to include Feanor and Nerdanel but they're on honeymoon.

Fëanor and his little ravens

What counsel is he giving? None can say. Yet Caranthir is not buying it, Maglor is living for it, and Curufin is agreeing with it. As ever, Fëanor and his favorite little prince wear matching jewels, naturally.

This work is part of an ongoing series. If you enjoyed it, see also: Copper Team | Fair Team

The Silmarils, gouache on bristol paper, 42 inches (3.5 feet) in diameter

I made a thing! Illustrations about the story of the silmarils in red-figure pottery style. It was fun to work on such a large scale.

You can see all the individual scenes and my references here. I'll also be posting them a few at a time!

Seven sons of Feanor and the process of drawing them

+

First I drew them all with the same body and same pose, then started changing it in a way it fit more or less their personalities; they all kidna go in pairs except Caranthir. My beloved goth is always a lone wolf.

look at all the many ways I changed Maglor! he decided to be problematic.

I made the initial lineart first, then added the hair colors cause that was important to me.

Drawing the clothes was fun, my favourite was Celegorm's shoulder armor
