Reblogging this today, as I just learned (almost too late) that it is Glorfindel Week, and HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?!! (Also good motivation to finish up the latest chapter)

Hooray for the Best Elf Ever™️!

In today’s edition of Pairing Sappy Love Songs with Tolkien characters, I imagine Aegnor sitting around in Mandos all day singing “The Flame” by Cheap Trick 🔥

My new little OC Celefindë, created for the Glorfindel story I write for this year’s TRSB, which is getting some fresh baked chapters this week. (Yes, her name is a play off of Glorfindel’s 😂)

Here’s a happy little Yule Beleg to wish you Merry Christmas!

A very rare not-Elf sketch from me😂

[zivalight]

For today’s #Tolkientober prompt of “Darkness”, here’s an older sketch of Maeglin from 2022.

“And however that might be, Idril loved Maeglin not at all; and knowing his thought of her she loved him the less. For it seemed to her a thing strange and crooked in him, as indeed the Eldar ever since have deemed it: an evil fruit of the Kinslaying, whereby the shadow of the curse of Mandos fell upon the last hope of the Noldor. But as the years passed still Maeglin watched Idril, and waited, and his love turned to darkness in his heart.”

- Of Maeglin, Silmarillion

[zivalight]

I decided with this one to combine the #Tolkientober prompts “Rivendell” and “Protection”

[zivalight]

For today’s #Tolkientober prompt “Reunion”, I did Elenwë and Turgon reuniting in Valinor 🥹

[arlenianchronicles]

Do not follow her, Turvo. Don’t go there, you mustn’t go! You cannot leave Itarillë – you cannot leave me! Don’t leave me!

Fingon and Turgon on the Helcaraxë! Since I still had these two on the brain, I decided to indulge in some more brotherly feels (or angst, in this case). This scene is sometime after Elenwë is lost; I imagine Turgon was so taken by despair in the days after that he nearly followed his wife, but Fingon stopped him in time. So Turgon had to release his grief some other way!

For Turgon’s face, I referenced War Pieta by Max Ginsburg since I really wanted his expression to be visceral. For some reason, drawing these types of expressions is lots of fun! XDD

[zivalight]

Just in case you needed to be emotionally destroyed by beautiful and evocative artwork today 😭

[zivalight]

“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!’”
