Oh, brightest sun (TRSB 2023)

A hommage to Gustav Klimt's The Kiss. Acrylic paint on canvas, with gold acrylic colour, 45x45cm. This scene had fascinated me ever since I read about it in the Nature of Middle-earth, and even more so when I became obsessed with Mîm as a character. While the ship of Mîmrod was born in a discord server I am in as a joke, that joke led to me originally drafting the sketch for this painting.

@goschatewabn has taken up this prompt- in a pinchhit no less - and has written, a beautiful, beautiful, fic that also absolutely tears my heart out. Find more info & the link to the fic below!

The elf shone more brilliantly than the purest gems they had unearthed, and his kind face crowned with a wreath of white lilac was like the first rays of dawn after a long night.

The gentle sun had risen in the east, and had brought spring into Nargothrond.

The Prodigal Daughter (TRSB 2023)

Pencil drawing, digital colouring. Art #14 in the 2023 Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang. Below, find info & the link to the beautifully written exploration of the death of Thain Lalia Took, by my author LadyBrooke on Ao3. This "lost event" in the background of the Lord of the Rings has fascinated me for years now.

Pearl understood why they suspected her after Lalia's death. That didn't mean it wasn't painful to see the suspicion, even from her own family.

To Find a Home in the Twilight

Upon leaving Gondolin, Aredhel Ar-Feiniel journeyed East and was lost in a forest, enchanted by Eöl the Dark Elf, who lured her to his dwelling and took her to wife. This is the sorrowful story remembered among the Noldor of Beleriand.

But the Wise-women of the Edain tell a different tale of Aredhel’s coming to Nan Elmoth.

Everyone please go check out @melestasflight 's fantastic fic when it reveals on the 8th of September!

I will also make the full version of the art public once the fic is live and you will be able to see it on my blog (I will also update this post with a link!)
