The lords of Gonfdolin.

Look at me trying to make as many variations of black hair and grey eyes as possible. Gonfdolin would be one of the places where I would consistently give most characters some kind of makeup. I just feel like they were all fairly vain and had enough security to start expressing themselves through makeup/fashion and jewelry more like their kin in Hithlum and Himring for example.

Lords of Gondolin

Here are my character starters for the Lords of Gondolin, which will really only become important once I get around to my *Fall of Gondolin* comics and *Gondolin Days* slice of life comics before that.

But regardless... here... look... I did them. Do you have a favorite?

"There were those of the Tree, and they were a great house, and their raiment was green. They fought with iron studded clubs or with slings and their lord Galdor was held the most valiant of all the Gondothlim save Turgon alone." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, "The Fall of Gondolin"

[ID: a moodboard comprised of nine images arranged in a 3x3 grid, primarily in shades of green and brown. Top to bottom, left to right, the images show:

1: A tree canopy seen from below / 2: Wooden spiked clubs / 3: Grassy steps leading up a wooded slope / 4: A leather slingshot laid beside a stone / 5: A person wearing a white shirt and a quilted green gambeson with leather lacing up the front / 6: A wooden door in as tone wall, emblazoned with a geometric pattern like a flower / 7: A person with light tan skin and straight black hair in a braid looking out from behind a large leaf / 8: The gnarled trunk of a tree at a low angle / 9: A leading glass window with a stained glass pattern at the bottom of leafy green branches //End ID]

All these gentlemen were drawn as part of the Gondolin Gang series for intea (my deep gratitude for this opportunity and inspiration ♥). Of course I will draw the remaining two, but now I want to show the finished ones 😃

I tried to draw different but stylistically similar and simple outfits, hairstyles and faces, so that one could believe that they live at the same time and in the same place, being in an everyday (medieval) environment - most of them had small bags for small things and clothes whose fit is regulated by a belt and not by patterns.

Egalmot got the most complex background - there's a cat there, did you see it? 🐈

Who do you like the most and who has the coolest handbag? 🙂👀
