Update! I found this in my queue today scheduled to post later this month 🤣 but I wrapped the second part up a month ago. You can read both parts (they’re short!) on AO3 here

Rating change from T to M for Link’s spicy thoughts 🤣😬😅

WIP Wednesday!

Remember the second part of The Hero and The Priestess I promised MONTHS ago? Well, here's a snippet of what's in store...

Finally got the hang of northern fashion in ASOIAF - so here are some first sketch for some northern ladies' looks.

I haven’t made a really massive project in forever, so I figured I should make something to be proud of.

Roughly sketched out my idea for now- nothing formal and I’ll likely pick specific snake species instead of just...nondescript. The idea will probably change a ton more, but eh.

(I’ll have to figure out what to call it too)

two shots from my final project, provisional title ‘Tale of Two Dragons’. i don’t have much experience in unreal but it got me this far so that’s good.

Labradorite is a magical stone The people of the cold North believed that is has fallen from the skies because of its colors that reminded the Northern Lights... An Eskimo myth says that an old ancestor hit a labradorite rock with his spear and that created the Aurora Borealis... Other myths speak of it as the stone of the Lost Atlantis.... A stone of knowledge and power that offers its owner the mental clarity to see through any illusion, and the ability to realize the true form of his goals and the true nature of his dreams.... It enriches imagination, when one is in the creating process and empowers enthusiasm in New plans and beginnings.... A powerful help in developing intuition and also a source of vibrancy and courage.... ...a one of a kind piece.... ☆ Handmade with love and happy vibes ☆

Inspired celtic pendant. With three rubies and sterling silver. Not historical, but fun to do.

Finally, I actually completed a half decent background... yay I guess... My shading and anatomy (human and animal) could still do with some work though.

This picture was inspired by Tolkien’s original interpretation of Sauron back when he was known as Telvido Prince of Cats. I suppose this picture is a Frankenstein’s creation between that and whats depicted in the published Silmarillion so I guess you can call it a fan retelling of sorts. Wolves are kind of overrated especially since Deviantart came into being (and the many many Alpha and Omega sequels) but I also enjoy variety. There is also the factor that when Frodo looks into Galadriel’s mirror he describes Sauron’s eye resembling that of a cat’s. I know cats are quite overrated too but I love the idea of Sauron creating giant cats that can easily pluck unsuspecting elves trying to hide out of the trees. Wolves can run and bite but cats in addition to these two things also have claws and can climb quite easily. Also I’ll admit I’m quite biased because I’m the perfect definition of a ‘Crazy Cat Lady’ XD 

My version of Sauron is kind of inspired by a Celtic Warrior but I have also seen several depictions of him with freckles which I think is pretty adorable so there is that factor too I guess ^^ I also made him a bit beefier than other versions I have seen. I don’t actually mind skinny depictions of Sauron but there are some pictures, particularly yaoi art I have seen where he is practically a kitten. In my view being the former Greatest Smith in Valinor I would expect him to have at least a little bit of meat on him if you know what I mean. Also yes that is a third eye he has up there, he prefers to keep it covered though since it gives off a terrifying energy that would scare most people away, even those on the dark side. That eye cover is basically Middle Earth’s version of glasses or contact lens I suppose...

I got references for the throne from various Celtic depictions of cats as well as patterns I have seen while browsing.
