Very tense performances of the Leithian in Eregion, featuring:

Celebrimbor discreetly leaving the audience for the duration of the Nargothrond Incident(s)

Galadriel not-so-discreetly leaving the audience for Finrod's death

Annatar leaving for Lúthien's arrival in Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Love is stored in between the threads. Miriel Serindë's family knows this well.

(featuring my favorite character, Maedhros' big fluffy cloak)

Maedhros

[laly]

But the jewel burned the hand of Maedhros in pain unbearable; and he perceived that it was as Eönwë had said, and that his right thereto had become void, and that the oath was vain. And being in anguish and despair he cast himself into a gaping chasm filled with fire, and so ended; and the Silmaril that he bore was taken into the bosom of the Earth.

Burn, acrylic on canvas :) Was lazy and wanted to just do a portrait this time. Slow dry medium I love you slow dry medium

Open discussion:

Does this classify crustations as Nameless Things?

I feel like this bit from Lost Tales is important for Crablor enjoyers

"and the seas began to gleam with fish or strange creatures crawled at the bottom; yet the shellfish and the oysters no-one of the Valar or of Elves knows whence they are, for already they gaped in the silent waters..."

Gotta consider an extra layer here in which residents of arda would already consider crabs to be at least semi eldritch

Hello everyone. My floral bust portrait commissions are open.

I have a small queue, and I figured I will open another couple of slots for more breathing room as I finish this queue.

ETA is late March to early April. They are only 35 usd each portrait, and they are priced down from my original 45 usd.

They are priced down as I am a slower artist- I currently have three jobs, and the sole caretaker of a completely disabled mother whose movement is very limited and dependent on able bodied people, partially disabled father, and an autistic sister, who I am sending to school- that means, as I am essentially a parent to all three- my time is very limited, and so because of the longer 3-4 weeks wait, I charge lower.

I draw tieflings, elves, humanoids, dnd characters that are human-like, ocs, tavs from baldurs gate, etc etc- I specialize in ocs of all shapes and sizes-

I can not draw: non human ocs, ocs with their faces covered, I cannot draw real humans: for example: "can you draw my gf?"- real human faces take far longer to draw and stylize in a way that will look like irl people. This means I can not draw furry or mecha as well.

I will only draw busts. Please, please only hire me for what I am advertising, if you feel my art style will fit your oc. You will receive a portrait of your oc with a floral background from the chest up.

You can choose the expression, the clothes, the hairstyle, the flower style, the general color and mood of the piece, and you will have two passes of edits for free.

❌️ "can you draw this scene from a book"

❌️ "can you draw my grandma"

❌️"can you draw my room and a person sitting in that chair"

These instructions are very long, but I've been, drawing for 5 years for folk now, hehe, and in order to streamline my drawing process, I need to become more and more specific with my instructions 😞 I sometimes get requests to draw entire fully rendered drawings in my portrait commissions!

I am requesting for more patient clients! I do my best to meet everyone's expectations, but I also would love folk who understand that I am one person who loves other people's ocs and want to portray them with love and dignity, and that I am working on these highly specialized and specific and personalized portraits, oftentimes 10 at any given time.

Thank you for reading, please let me work for you! I am a disabled artist from the global south, just trying to get by!

Hire me, send me tips, commission me please!

Finally finished my Silmarillion doodle (it’s only been like 4 months shhh) - some good ol’ fashioned Russingon angst.

[laly]

I would like to personally thank every silmarillion fanfic author who has mentioned maedhros' knee joints cracking loudly in their work. This is the representation I need. I feel so seen.

[laly]

would Maedhros Fëanorion from the Silmarillion be an avatar of the Desolation?

[laly]

happy march of maedhros to those who celebrate

[laly]

Guess who's back BABYYYY

In tried a new rendering style with this one. What do you think?

[laly]

a city to fall for the folly of one

hey everyone, I posted a great deal of new art on my patreon, here are some crops! I get paid tomorrow.

It would mean the world to me if you guys could come and check it out, and if you'd like to subscribe- I only charge literally one dollar a month for access to almost 400 pieces of exclusive artwork.

I am trans and disabled from the global south, and more opportunities to create art so I can make ends meet for my family is immense, and something I do not take for granted.

for all your tolkien oc name needs
