A few more Elronds from our heath shoot! I was trying to explain how I really wanted some super atmospheric shots from a distance where my costume wasn't so much the focus and it was more artistic and focused on the landscape and Anya got it immediately! Elrond - me Photographer - Grange-air

“Leave this tower now and when the Men of Middle-earth fall, I swear to you, every soul in the seen or unseen world will know that it was you who was the architect of their demise!”

I absolutely love Annatar in the Rings of Power season 2. His manipulative gaslighting is just perfect.

During our The_Eldar_Cosplay cosplay vacation I had the chance to wear Annatar and I got a couple of awesome photos out of it. 🤩 

I definitely want to cosplay him again.

New Tolkien cosplay/shoot alert ✨🌳🏰🌊! I've wanted to do a closet cosplay of a Númenórean OC since S1 of Rings of Power, so here it is at last, from August 2024, the first set of pics of my Mediterranean astrophysicist self as an Armenelos court astronomer (meneldilmë)/erudite OC 😄🔭⌛🌌🪐. Here featuring an hourglass (Númenóreans are also pretty stressed about time as a concept, aren't they😅), alongside sextants and planispheres and books and things 📚📜 Dress and belt are from Armstreet's Princess in Exile collection (not sponsored, i wish xD). The decoration gives me both Númenórean and Noldorin aesthetic vibes ✨💜.

The hairstyle is inspired by Eärien's main look in S1 of RoP. I interpreted it as two 3-strand side braids with purple parandas, tied at the back of the head with an elastic and then forming a half-up braided bun. When wrapping the braids around the elastic, I started wrapping both braids twice or thrice, then added a hairstick to fix them, and the rest of each braid is twisted around the hairstick more loosely, letting one of them hang a bit below the bun, similarly to how Eärien wears them. Finally, I used this blue beaded necklace as decoration, tying the strings around and behind the braided bun.

ADAR is the name I earned 🖤

Here it is! My Adar cosplay! A female Adar if you will. This was the most fun cosplay to put together by far after having such a passion for Adar as a character after season 2 of Rings of Power.

hey all guess what 👀👀👀

Galadriel is ready for Katsu! I just have a little hemming to do on the assuit for the sake of walking at the con (important) but I feel so happy with how she came together!

I've wanted to take some Elrond photos against a backdrop of birch trees for months and a couple of weeks ago I finally got to when a few friends and I went out to one of London's heaths! We had a lovely, collaborative afternoon helping each other get some photos and I'm so excited about the results. Thanks to @mimistitchcraft for taking these!

“You are going to bring them to me and place them in my hand.”

Annatar finally got his hands on the Nine.

I concrunched Annatar’s armor over the past week and I’m so happy that I did. Silverlynxcosplay took a lot of photos of my cosplay at a huge rock formation that is just a couple of kilometres away from my doorstep.

The full selfie roll of my Eregion Noldorin OC, my cosplay for the August 2024 première of S2 of The Rings of Power 😃✨🌿💍. . Also, cosplay hair - I went for a very similar style to the hairstyle I used for my Númenórean astronomer OC cosplay, inspired by Eärien's main style in S1 of RoP. Still, it turned out a bit different, with a slightly smaller braided half-up, and I also added a necklace with blue crystals as a circlet for the added Elven Noldorin look.

I've been working on this chainmail shirt for about 3 months now. It's slowly coming together and I will be needing it for a Lord of the Rings cosplay.

[hellofeanor]

Who wants a cosplay breakdown of the Annatar outfit from the Rings of Power trailer, based on all information I've been able to find so far? Nobody? I don't care. You're getting it anyway. With a bunch of poor quality over-zoomed reference images.

COME OVER-ANALYZE THINGS WITH ME!

What colour is this fucker? At first I was convinced that black and gold was a bit too on the nose, and thought that surely it had to be extremely dark brown or blue or something. But then I saw some higher res images and remembered that this is also the show that put feathers on Elrond's shirt and made Gil-galad All Gold All the Time. In this pic below, you can see some subtle colour variations in the leather bits, but the robe still looks black. So I'm gonna go with yes, this outfit is indeed black and gold.

2. What's it made of? Shoulder feathers/leaves: leather. Robe: looks like a low-ish pile velvet to me, painted with a large gold linework pattern. Under sleeves: possibly a lightweight wool? Sash: unsure, might also be velvet but of an even lower pile cotton variety. Belt: probably leather.

3. What do you mean by 'sash'? Okay so this is a weird detail. At first I thought this was a robe with a qipao-style side opening, and the bright vertical stripe of gold we see is trim on that opening. But no, I don't think that's trim at all. You can see it kiiiiiiind of move and ripple in a way that indicates it's not actually attached to the garment at all, and from the back, you can see there's a piece that drapes over his shoulder and ends in... a cute lil tassel. I think this is literally a table-runner style sash that hangs over his right shoulder and falls down the front, tucked into the belt. What does it look like at the bottom? No clue yet, since we haven't seen a full length view of this outfit. But I'm sincerely hoping it's another goofy tassel.

4. What's the sash made of? As mentioned above, base fabric may be low pile velvet. And it's covered in highly reflective gold leaf. The design looks dull in some lighting but very gold in other cases. You can see that the gold leaf looks worn and is less intact in some places than others. There appears to be a short repeat to the design.

5. Shape of the robe? This one's tough since we don't have a view of the whole thing yet. So this is me guessing based on a couple clues. I'm going to guess that it's floor length, if he's trying to fit in with other Eregion elves here. It's a similar slim silhouette to what we see on Celebrimbor. And another Celebrimbor-adjacent detail is... I'm not sure if this robe has separate sleeves or if they're just built right in and extend from the shoulders. Celebrimbor's ep 8 forge outfit has contiguous sleeves, and based on the way the shoulders lie and the underarms kind of bunch up, I'm wondering if this is the same.

6. Continuing on with the sleeves: they have a little T-shaped cuff detail, with trim around the edge that originally thought was large beads similar to what we see on Halbrand's ep 8 shirt, but I now think might be braid. Large, reflective black beads are scattered about the cuff as well.

7. The under sleeve looks like a matte black fabric with a very slight fuzziness to it. It's somewhat elongated, covering the entire wrist and wrinkling up over the forearm. More black beads/rhinestones concentrated around the cuff, thinning out as they move upward.

8. Finally: belt. Wide gold leather(?) with interwoven braided detail and circle/ring motifs inside the gaps of the braid. Fastens on the front left with a mechanism that isn't visible. Possibly hooks. Belt is snug enough to cinch the robe and sash in place, and sits above the natural waist.

9. In conclusion: how does this all go on? Well, the belt is the only thing we can see that has a closure. Everything else is guesswork. Those undersleeves are fitted enough that they may actually have an invisible zipper in the seam. A little seam divot is visible on the inner arm.

No visible closure (yet) on the robe or leather shoulder armour. My guess is the leather fastens up either the right side or the back, and the closure is hidden by his hair and the overlapping feather/leaf pieces. As for the robe, it could either fasten up the back (as most of Celebrimbor's outfits must do) or have a small opening at the front neckline (like Halbrand's ep 8 shirt). Either option would be hidden by the leather. But since the front of the robe is so perfectly flat and the leather doesn't extend down all that far, I'm going with back opening as the more likely option.

And there we go. Everything I've been able to figure out about this costume so far in the (checks calendar) six days since it dropped and I became obsessed with it. There's a very high chance that after I post this I'll either think of something else I forgot to mention or discover another new and infuriating detail, but let's leave it at this for now and I'll reblog again with additions as they come up.

Also with my progress because obvs I'm going to make this.

Felt cute, might delete heal Middle-Earth later

Inspired by this incredible concept art by Julien Gauthier:

Made this for my singular day at NYCC this year, but only started construction after the Rings of Power finale (in case they showed us an alternative Galadriel-embracing-darkness costume). I debated dying my roots back to blonde, but we're going to say that the darkness is seeping in. (I also considered that this could be half-Maia Celebrían, because interpretation is fascinating).

More photos to come after tomorrow!
