Shocked at myself for not having drawn Lúthien yet

I noticed some reblogs of my old Fingon+Turgon art, and, believe it or not, I got inspired to redraw one of those paintings! You can find the originals below the cut XDD For those of y’all who don’t know, I was intrigued a while back by Fingolfin riding to Angband with his eyes glowing like a Vala’s. I headcanoned that he passed that ability down to his kids: when they’re super angry or something, their eyes start glowing too!

So far I’ve only drawn Fingon in that setting, so I thought to myself, why not give Turgon his turn? Thus, here they are, reuniting during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad! I removed their armour to make it easier on myself to draw (and harder for them during the battle lmaoo)

I think a lot about the spaces of Beleriand that are largely uninhabited save for those who journey to or through them for safety or in flight; Dimbar for example that Húrin traveled through twice in his life, the passes through the Ered Gorgoroth that Beren came through, the caves of Androth Tuor and the elves of Mithrim sheltered in, etc

The Fellowship tumble out of the Great Eastern Gate on to a grassy sunlit hillside. Sam, Merry, and Pippin fall slowly to the ground, sobbing. // Frodo slowly turns, a look of numb shock on his devastated face. The Fellowship marches on.

Annatar; Lord of Gifts

I tried a new design for him, but I think I like my other better but now I have tried this too for him :)

Actually this looks a lot more like my Numenor design for him, but with a Noldor second age clothing style instead

I commissioned these portraits of Aerin and Morwen from @lycheesodas awhile ago and I just wanted to show everyone again because it’s so beautiful;

I chose bog rosemary and yarrow for Morwen’s because they’re two plants that could have grown in both Hithlum and Dorthonion. I requested the yellow ivy because it’s one of the plants I associate with Aerin (though she is possibly the character I have the most specific botanical associations with?)

Anyways thank you again lycheesodas and if you ever add this to your shop I would absolutely buy it in a notebook or print! As soon as I have the means to commission you again I would love to
