A quick doodle of my favourite elven couple for Valentines Day.

Elrond and Celebrían just enjoying a quiet moment alone together. It’s been awhile since I’ve drawn them and that needed to be rectified it.

I actually really like this simplified non-rendered style and it’s pretty quick too! In total this took me about two hours and a half :3

Happy Valentines to those who celebrate and if you don’t, go treat yourself to something lovely anyway 💜

A happy Celrond sketch page - have I said how much I love these two :3

Aredhel, Celegorm and Caranthir

Rare is the day that I draw Tolkien art that isn’t Elrond related but I’ve had this scene in my head since I reread the Silmarillion last year.

Honestly these might be the best horses I’ve drawn ever

Tolkientober - Day 4 - Home

What’s more homely then a wholesome Hobbit hole - except Elrond’s house ;)

“Thus Fingon found what he sought. For suddenly above him far and faint his song was taken up, and a voice answering called to him. Maedhros it was that sang amid his torment. But Fingon climbed to the foot of the precipice where his kinsman hung, and then could go no further; and he wept when he saw the cruel device of Morgoth. Maedhros therefore, being in anguish without hope, begged Fingon to shoot him with his bow; and Fingon strung an arrow, and bent his bow. And seeing no better hope he cried to Manwë, saying: ‘O King to whom all birds are dear, speed now this feathered shaft, and recall some pity for the Noldor in their need!’”

This one was hard to draw, mountains proved more difficult to paint then I expected but I think it turned out well

The Swearing of the Mournival

Garviel gets sworn into Horus closest circle by Torgaddon, Abaddon and Aximand. I wanted to illustrate this scene as soon as I read it.

This was definitely one of those paintings that was a trust the process. I’m not great at backgrounds but I don’t think this turned out too badly.

The Treachery of Feänor

Finally finished this mammoth painting over the weekend - took 35 hours in total to finish. Complicated backgrounds do indeed be complicated but good practice

Shallan Davar from The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson

Randomly was doodling and a wild Shallan appeared. Used the opportunity to explore a different shading technique with more focus on hard edges and I rather like how she turned out
