Tah-dah! Here is the Maia Tilion who is famously known for having terrible time management.
@sh1-n0bu is this twink enough for you? My solution was to make him weirdly long~
The Constellations of northern Arda - an autumn sky above Thangorodrim
The constellations of Arda - a night sky made up of the constellations of Tolkien's Legendarium (and some added real ones (lyra, swan, dragon) that seemed to fit thematically) overlaid over an autumnal sky of our northern hemisphere. (somewhat expanded to get all of them in one view (e.g. do not @ me about orion or corona borealis ;) )
Also, for the Tolkien astronomy nerds(TM), Anarríma (which we don't have any information on besides the name) is probably meant to be an adaptation of pegasus. So the actual depiction is completely made up by me.
I ultimately landed on the idea of a giant spider (as the name translates to something like the edge/border of light/the sun) The spider not only fits well with the long limbs of the pegasus but Ungoliant's (and her descendants') stories do always play out in that edge of light and the sun, always desiring, craving and devouring it but also shying away from it. /rant over

The Silmarillion: The sun is guided by a beautiful powerful fire spirit lady! The Silmarillion: And the moon is guided by a guy who cannot keep to a basic schedule.
The Cat and the Moon or the Drunken Tilion ♥ (drawing, edited to postcard size: added the proud cow to make different format out of it :D )
Arien and Tilion ☀️🌜
We don't clown enough on Melkor for trying to fight the moon AND LOSING.
"But Morgoth hated the new lights, and was for a while confounded by this unlooked-for stroke of the Valar. Then he assailed Tilion, sending spirits of shadow against him, and there was strife in Ilmen beneath the paths of the stars; but Tilion was victorious."
Thank you to @southaway art for the art tag! The prompt was to post six older artworks and one WIP. Which immediately gave me deer-in-headlights eyes because I’ve only been drawing actively for about … 10 months? and don’t have a huge backlog. So I had to scrounge a bit to find stuff that wasn’t already posted here:
Beren finds the body of his father amid carrion crows - posted briefly in … December 2024? Then took it down in a crisis of confidence (lol).
Eärendil and Tilion’s ships passing in the night - a silly doodle I did for the SWG Potluck when I had artblock, also Dec 2024.
Artists of Arda stamp collection! feat. Lúthien, Ecthelion, Maglor and Daeron for the April 2025 SWG Musicals challenge.
Finrod and Andreth! This is the oldest piece, maybe from Oct 2024? didn’t really understand layering and was nervous to work in anything but monochrome. It’s unfinished because I messed up the layers so badly I gave up, but it’s very nostalgic to me.
Nienna weeps over the ruined Trees: I also posted this and took it down. Not sure why!
Kiddos of the Edain - Just some Edain kid!designs. I never posted because I was never happy with Rian’s color palette. But I had a lot of fun (and pointers from @outofangband on dyes and fabric that I mostly failed to implement lol)
My current WIP (besides TRSB) is this rescuer!Fingon:
No-pressure tagging @ulmondil, @corsairspade, @balrogballs, @koriandr0wu, @ laisrinel.
