The only thing worse than a vampire hunter who hates vampires: the vampire who loves her.

For centuries Galadriel's family has sworn an oath to vanquish the evil vampire Morgoth for bringing darkness into the world. Years have passed since Morgoth's defeat, but his successor Sauron has risen to power, and his ambitions to heal the world cannot be trusted.

After her brother Finrod loses his life to werewolves, Galadriel inherits his oath, vowing to hunt down Sauron and avenge her family once and for all. Little does she know, however, that not only will her quest tempt her with hidden desires she'd scarcely allowed herself to feel before, but whispers of Morgoth's return have begun to echo throughout the land, spreading like a long-forgotten plague...

Inspired by 2004 Van Helsing 🦇❤️

No problem! Just wanted to ask ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ If you ever feel bored or want ideas feel free to ask for fic recs! There's a ton of amazing haladriel stories out there. Thanks for sharing first age Mairon and Artanis with us!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you offering!! I will 100% keep this in mind 🥰 Absolutely, we have such an incredible fandom making so many amazing things for us to enjoy!! 😍 Ohh and thank you for the support, it is a real privilege to draw these two, in all ages!! 🥹💖

Mina (is it ok if you're called that? just wanted to check), are you interested in some haladriel fic recs? What kind of themes/tropes are you fond of?

Hello! Mina is totally fine, I don't mind at all! I appreciate you confirming with me! 😊

And I actually don't read fics nearly as much as I used to, I'm sorry! But it makes me so happy to see that the fandom is thriving and creating so many amazing stories, gifs, and artworks out there!! You love to see it, this fandom is seriously so awesome 🥰💖

Quick doodles of yet another comic idea I have hehe. If Galadriel and Sauron had met on Valinor, back when they were known as Artanis and Mairon :')

Character sheets for an upcoming mini comic!!! Introducing new outfits, including Celeborn ✨

Explanation of design choices below!! Galadriel will not be wielding a sword in the comic, I just wanted to draw her in a cool pose :P

To start, I am definitely not as comfortable with drawing medieval armor/clothing as I am sci-fi, at least not yet! Much research needed! ✊😤 And though I am most certainly still a novice when it comes to character design, I tried to approach this from an animation standpoint and opt for more simplistic designs, as beautiful as the intricate wardrobes are in TROP.

For Sauron, I took inspiration from the armor he is shown wearing in the exposition scene at the beginning of S1E1, as well as his outfit in the S2 finale. He's properly converted back to the dark aesthetic, but hasn't quite reached cape level yet! So instead of a cape I gave him a drapey tunic similar to the red one he wears with his Númenor armor as Halbrand. And the gold accents could be seen as symbolizing his vanity, but at their foundation represent his ties to Galadriel and him coveting her light.

For Galadriel I was inspired by her silver outfit in season 2, as well as Legolas's outfit in The Two Towers. I wanted to bulk her up with the shoulder armor, while still hopefully maintaining her femininity. I'm keeping the silver aesthetic because I think it really suits her, but I also added darker colors to her clothes to indicate that she is being more and more influenced and tempted by the darkness. So we can see that with the golds on Sauron and the dark grays on Galadriel, they are always on each other's minds ;)

Lastly, for Celeborn there was a lot more planning needed for his design! The most important thing was that, purely from a character design standpoint, I didn't want him to look like Sauron. Though Sauron is fair and beautiful, to me he should still have rugged features because of his apprenticeship with Aulë and his skills as a blacksmith. He's a Maia who works with his hands, and I wanted that to come through in his design. This means a more square and sharper face (to hopefully match Charlie Vickers' face shape), tanner skin, and a bulkier build.

In contrast, though I don't know much about Celeborn, I do know that he is a prince, which probably means he doesn't have the need to labor or work with his hands. Therefore I gave him paler skin, longer hair, and a slender build, as well as a longer and pointier face to lean into the Elf aesthetic. I don't want him to look extremely identical to Galadriel, either, so I gave him even blonder hair, almost white compared to her gold. And though I want him to look differently enough from Galadriel so that they don't look like siblings, I'm also fine with them sharing some similar characteristics. This shows that on the surface they would appear to have a lot in common and therefore are perfect for each other, being a prince and princess and all, but of course we know that that is actually a very different story ;)

Quick doodles!! I saw this photo of Charlie Vickers and knew what I had to do 😆

Did you know The Rings of Power is actually a romantic comedy? 😌✨

Question for the Saurondriel/Haladriel Nation!!

Do we know for sursies where Celeb0rn is, or if he's just missing and presumed dead? Is there anything that Tolkien wrote that would indicate where he might be? This is for a future comic idea that I have 👀✨

Thank you in advance~~ 😘

Excuse me while I obsessively try to learn some Sindarin from the internet 😆 This website looks very promising!!

We love a dark lord supporting his queen 👑 And something tells me these two would be absolutely insufferable around everyone one else hehe

Hey, how does it feel to be a star? :)

Ohhh that is very generous of you to say, thank you!! 😆🙏 It's honestly been such a cool experience, being able to share my art and to see others get the same amount of enjoyment that I get putting into it!! That's really what it's all been about for me!

And it was super kind of Matt Ryan to say all of those nice things too! When I saw the caption on his Instagram post I just 🥹💖 Even if we don't find out what Morfydd and Charlie think of the art, and even if this experience is a one-time thing, as long as people can see my work, no matter the source, and it puts a smile on their face, then that is more than enough for me!! 🥰💖💖💖
