Elwing on the shores of Aman

She's Elrond's mama, of course she is soft and beautiful. I headcanon that she started drawing so that she could show Earendil her life when he is gone, things like the twins (when she was still in Sirion), pretty flowers and birds etc

Tyelpé watching his papa intently.

Also I like to think that before Elwing transformed back into an elf and everyone figured out was going on Earendils crew was like yeah why don’t we cook the bird to supplement our rations and Earendil was like if any of you even touch my new favorite bird I’ll kill you myself

hating fëanor for REAL is an indication of a severe case of swagless behavior

@eri-pl tagged me in an old art game—while I keep getting caught up in the “‘I’ll do it later’ -> promptly forget” loop, I really want to get involved in this one (Yes, I wrote this at 3am three days ago and only remembered it now. Still a win).

Show me six old drawings (and as a bonus your current WIP or your most recent drawing if you want) and then tag six people!

I'm not sure who's been tagged already, but @nighttimepatrons if you haven't done this, here's your chance... same goes for anyone else who sees this! Consider yourself tagged :)

Art under cut b/c long posts make me itchy

Old art, for which I've chosen exclusively fandom-linked pieces:

2019 'Harry Potter' | 2020 'Four Dead Queens' | 2021 'The Aurora Cycle' | 2022 'Encanto' | 2023 'Les Misérables' | 2024 'The Silmarillion'

(The first two came from an art class I used to do)

Current wip:

I'm trying watercolours for basically the first time, with a diptych of Maedhros and Fingon... it's taking a little while to get my head around the medium and it's definitely far from perfect, but I'm happy with my progress so far.

Suddenly obsessed with second age beleriand, a half-drowned continent, mostly inhospitable, encrusted with orcs or other foul things wherever water still flows. Obsessed with brave elven historians exploring what remains in the hopes of salvaging armour, weapons, or—Eru willing—jewellery or artwork.

Obsessed with said historians never being seen again, or returning with a battered boat stashed with cursed objects, and exactly zero of their crewmates.

Post-second age pearl divers straight-up finding eerily preserved elf carcasses from Dagor Bragollach. Is this anything

Bonus points if the collective public opinion is ‘that’s just nerdanel’s new apprentice. Bright, isn’t she?’

I am genuinely of the opinion that Nerdanel and Fëanor had hate sex before he left for Beleriand and also he finally got a daughter. Correlation is causation in this case

Preach.

literally so hilarious how so many tolkien fans are obsessed with canon. there is next to no official canon. the only thing that’s fully canon is the lord of the rings, part of the silmarillion and the hobbit (and that’s debatable, even). tolkien had no idea what was canon, he was switching things up all the time. so just pick a version you like a go with it, nobody knows what’s going on. tolkien changed little details over and over to the point where he never finished most of his work, like 25% of the silmarillion is just christopher tolkien smashing notes together and praying it’s what the vision was

I propose an additional prize for whichever poor bastard loses in the heaviest landslide, bracket notwithstanding.

If you win the pathetic soggy character tournament, are you really winning? Or do you win by losing?
