Once they were brothers... Manwë and Melkor, way before it went wrong 🥺 (+ version with Varda)

Realised while I was doing it that it makes a perfect St. Nicholas gift for @eri-pl since it features The Idiot™ (at his least-idiotic), and thankfully finished in time.

That feathery-cloak thing is vaguely based on something I saw on the internet and was a nightmare to draw, but still easier than in the Other Ainu WIP 😭😭

#Look! I did color code them but I did not make Melkor black haired :) I think I deserve a medal for originality :)#Also the Idiot has no right to look so innocent and cute even if that was the whole point #The weird hanging sash-thingies he has are the kind of idea that looks great in a design but is difficult to effectively draw when posed #The poses are traced from references to a frankly ridiculous extent but hey I did get the hang of draping clothing over a frame (!)#...#I feel like Tumblr might have done something to the quality... might try to reupload at home #Manwë #Melkor #Morgoth #Manwe #Valar #Silmarillion #silm #silmart #my post #my fanart
