Tinkerhell and The Lost Boys of Nevermore Part 2:

The tortured fairy would handle this herself now. First, Tink killed Hook. The croc thus far hadn’t smote his infamous evil foe. His notorious ticking belly always warned he was coming. The ticking never silenced since that fateful day he swallowed the clock, upon finding his rival counter-mate, Hook. How do you stop time form ticking? You reverse it. Tink had the croc walk backwards up to Hook, the Captain stepped back, tripped, and time (along with the crocodile) ate him up. Compared to facing ones past as a test in the future, when it approaches you from behind it is not a lesson learned.

            Tink sat in the crocodiles mouth waiting for Peter. She made croc a promise she’d rid him of the clock, if he allowed her to utilize his clenching teeth once more. Peter yelled, “I’ll save you Tink!” in the far of distance. When Peter was close, croc opened his mouth, Tink grabbed Peter using Hook’s borrowed claw, and pulled Pan into the jaws of the crocodile.

Time for another fanartist spotlight!

@croclock Name/Alias: Crocordile, Croc Type: Fanartist

Though likely better known for her Lord of the Rings/Tolkien-based fanart, there is also a good deal of Saint Seiya fanart under Croc’s name floating around here on Tumblr. And all of it stands out. One of the most outstanding aspects of Croc’s style is her strong lineart. Her lines are smooth, with varying weights and shapes that can be hard to achieve with digital art. She also experiments with different brushes and textures, able to give her works a very clean, polished look, or something a bit more rough and emotive. Croc is not afraid of color; she uses bright, bold hues that are eye-catching, but not obnoxious. Instead, her choices in colors are fresh, and energizing, bringing life into her art, and leaving a lasting impression.

Croc’s art style is also noticable for it’s emotion. She does not hesitate to draw characters with a variety of expressions, truly bringing them to life. Characters pout, laugh, shout, and cry with visible, genuine emotion drawn in, giving them depth and personality. Croc’s art is dynamic and fun, but also can be thought provoking, picking up on little nuances and details about the series that might otherwise be missed or glossed over.

When I first got into the Saint Seiya fandom years ago, one of the first artists I took note of was Croc. As a Brazilian fanartist, I think that Croc grew up with Saint Seiya (like most Brazilians did) and because of that, her knowledge of the series was something I admired. She is also an incredibly sweet and lovely person, who gladly welcomed me into the fandom, and who I always enjoyed talking to. (But this isn’t necessarily about how good a friend Croc is, so I’ll have to save that for another time) Something else I admired though was of course her artwork. Croc was another artist that stood out to me in the fandom for her style, because it was completely different from what I was used to. It grabs your attention, and it never fails to make me smile. While she hasn’t been too active in the Saint Seiya fandom for awhile, she’s still an artist I admire and respect, and always eagerly await the next piece of work she decides to share with the rest of us. 

Find Croc at @crocordile and her art at @croclock!

30 Things I Love About The Silmarillion, Day Twelve: Fanart

So today is a piece if fanart you love.

Okay, maybe it’s just that I saw it really recently, but I’m gonna have to say with croclock’s picture of Brandir and Gloredhel.

…Because it’s gorgeous, and THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER, for starters.

And also because Brandir’s in it. (Surprise!) But he’s a baby. It’s so cute, and there’s just something about… I dunno, everyone’s happy and unkilled and uncrippled and it feels like it could still go either way? Canon is not necessarily the only outcome – does that make sense?

It’s cute and it doesn’t feel like everyone’s doomed, I guess is what I’m saying.

And also, Gloredhel is super happy with her grandson because she never thought she’d have grandchildren (see Beldis’s age). And he’s eating her braid, okay?

Do you have any favorite pre-GOT artwork or artists to recommend? I love your usual stuff on this blog so I thought I'd ask .

Thank you so much!

tygettlannister is a friend and one of my favorite fan artists; she does beautiful work! 

bidonica is another friend; she makes gorgeous art. 

I’ve reblogged a lot of great art by croclock here; she’s one of my favorite artists! This is one of my all-time favorites. 

Basically you should just follow all of them if you want to see great art on your dash!

I love this Lyanna Stark art so much that I purchased a print a while ago. 

Marc Simonetti does a lot of official art; I’m thinking about buying a print of his depiction of Dunk & Egg from The Sworn Sword. 

My friend ilanawexler, who runs historyofwesteros and does the History of Westeros podcast, has a list of asoiaf artists that you might want to check out! There are so many people in this fandom who do such beautiful art that I could never list them all in one post.

your celegorm posts are the very best and my favourite (although they often made me sad)

if I am sad about celegorm everyone is sad about celegorm that is just the way things work

crocordile said: i dont understand half of this but the other half hurts me even more bc i have thought a lot about tar miriel and pregnancy and pharazon >_< though i never considered her carrying a pregnancy but…

Yes, see that's why I was writing out notes to give a summary of at least the cast connected to the People's Republic of Haven (aka the OTP and a few others) before I started diving into their Númenórean equivalents, but then the chilling and quite possibly sordid and heart-breaking possibilities of Tar-Miriel's child hit me.

I was going through my downloads folder and just realized that I hadn't put up this beautiful art that crocordile sent me! so I decided I needed to amend that and then I started drowning in emotions about these two because 

look at Aredhel's smile (or singing? either way it's a happy expression)! and Maeglin's biiiiig eyes and nervous mouth, and the way he's holding one of her hands with both of his, and she has an arm around his shoulders, and the beautiful detail on their clothes and help now I'm floudering in Aredhel&Maeglin feelings
