I was talking to my friend about LOTR (as one does) and the topic of how much Tolkien fans love a specific type of ship came up and she called it “fancy elf falls for grimy trash can boy” and I’ve never heard something so funny and yet so fucking accurate

If only we had gone together, I would have died with a heart beating in my chest. Oh, they drive me insane. The whole *dying on the same blade.* I will never recover. And of course, credit to @huntseric for Beleg with vitiligo, which apparently is so deeply ingrained in my imagination that I couldn't come up with a design for him without it.

Some Turin sketches I did over the past few weeks, both while I was reading Children of Hurin, and during the aftermath of reading, while crying over Turin and Beleg

I just found your account this is like finding a gold mine, your designs are fantastic 😭 💕! If your art request is still open, can u plz draw Beleg and Turin together? I love them so much! Your design for Turin is absolutely gorgeous!

I'm not sure if I'm locked in for this as Beleg's design, but as with other Sindar elves, I took inspiration primarily from Celtic and especially Gaelic dress. Since this is the First Age, I did want to make it look more ancient than Third Age Sindar fashion and took some influence from ancient Greece.
