#nienna's art

[niennanir]

You know what doesn't exist on the entire internet? A map of the world of Kyou Kara Maoh. Anyone who knows me is aware that I'm not going to let that stand in my way.

I culled all the map pieces from three seasons of the Anime and let me tell you something: the art team didn't have any kind of a map either, because there were like, three different depictions of where Caloria was. I blended them as best I could and tried to come up with something that sort of made sense and accounted for the places Yuuri and the gang travel to. I divided Cimaron into 9 provinces for my story so I added them to the map since it's my map and I can do what I like. If Amazon can frick with the geography of Middle Earth I can muck about with geography that doesn't even exist.

I'll probably add some mountain ranges at some point, the eastern continent is really flat. If I make any additions to the map I'll reblog the changes to this post with the same tags.

If you write for KKM and want to use my map (unlikely), feel free. Just be sure to credit me.

Lady of Pity & Lord of All Evil

Black Dahlia: A Black Dahlia usually symbolizes betrayal, doom, and other negative emotions, although their darkest symbolism is of evil and dishonesty

Lily: Lilies symbolizes purity, goodness, mercy, innocence, humility, faith, and hope

Thank you @melkors-defense-attorney for helping me with the clothes and @cuarthol for ideas for the glass <3<3<3

Lorien and Este / The Two Trees

Este and Irmo are dancing under the light of Telperion and Laurelin as some of their Maiar float around and watch them. They are anticipating the arrival of the eldar in their new lands.

@chthonion I decided to start my reread from when Elrond shows up and honestly it is so delightful to see Elrond be a hater for once in his life. anyway Elrond saying he'd rather have Annatar sit somewhere else after they find Maglor inspired the first part of this silly video and the rest sort of turned up on their own.

Nienna, Lady of Mercy. Sister of Mandos and Irmo.

“So great was her sorrow, as the Music unfolded, that her song turned to lamentation long before its end, and the sound of mourning was woven into the themes of the World before it began. But she does not weep for herself; and those who hearken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope. Her halls are west of West, upon the borders of the world; and she comes seldom to the city of Valimar where all is glad. She goes rather to the halls of Mandos, which are near to her own; and all those who wait in Mandos cry to her, for she brings strength to the spirit and turns sorrow to wisdom. The windows of her house look outward from the walls of the world."

The Valar at Creation

This work in progress has been beating me up. I know that this is a pretty (non-supernatural) version of them but I wanted to make the whole group looking out upon the vision of Arda.

Staging all of them has been a struggle so far and I will think very hard before attempting a large detailed group piece like this again. There is still so much to add and do… but basic line work is finished.

Left to Right: (Melkor, Oromë, Yavanna, Vána, Aulë, Nessa, Tulkas, Ulmo, Manwë, Varda, Nienna, Vairë, Námo, Estë, Irmo).

Lady of Mercy & Lord of the Fates; in the Gardens of Valinor

Tristan and Isolde, Neuschwanstein Murals, by August Spieß - 1881

Even after all the sorrow he brought her, she still begged for his release, for what he had been once. Her pity never made any of them less, and she never stopped seeing the good in him, although little it was, just as he never cursed her, as he did with others.

I am a sucker for their dynamic, Lady of Mercy & Lord of All Evil? Yes, please.

lady nienna, of wisdom, sorrow and courage
