And here's my other art for @tolkienrsb ! I'm so glad to have been able to work with the wonderful @jaz-the-bard who writes some of the best works of fiction I've read.

Featuring Idril, Tuor, and Maeglin in Jaz's High King Au.

Can't wait to read the fic!

Allow me please to present to you what is possibly the first ship art of Nellas/Galdor of Gondolin art. Admittedly, this started off as a crackship, but the more I thought of them and the more I talked about them with my dear friend, Shadow, I actually grew to love them and now they give me brainrot.

Galdor is no stranger to pain and tragedy. All his life, he's wished for nothing more than to have a peaceful family. And after suffering through the Helcaraxë and barely surving the battles and the clashes that followed after, Galdor hopes that maybe this time, he'll have the one thing he knows he deserves.

But fate has other plans for him and soon, Galdor must make a choice. Will he choose Nellas and their child? Or will his thrice-sworn vows break them apart?

And what of Nellas? For years, she has guarded this part of the forest, and administered aid to the Marchwardens who might patrol nearby. Everyone she knows is right here, in Doriath. But when duty calls her lover to leave, can she bear to follow him, not knowing if she will ever return to her land and to her people? What about their daughter? Can she raise her alone, or is it better to give her to her father, and let her grow apart from her, in a hidden realm her lover has only ever whispered to her?

Find out in the fic that my wonderful, and amazing, and splendid friend, @thedaughterofshadows is writing! This is my submission for this year's @tolkienrsb and I cannot wait for reveals!!!

(special thanks to @werian-wintertid , and my friend, Rowan - who's tumblr I do not know, but if you see this, Rowan, thanks for the art help!!!)
