#silmarillion request

@perlen-gold thank you for requesting! I lost your ask thanks to Tumblr glitching mid editing 🥲

How to entice a noldorin smith, step by step, by Annatar;

Step 1: adhere to all noldorin beauty standards.

Step 2: remind him of all his favorite uncles.

Step 3: have major blacksmithing skills.

Step 4: ....lipservice.

Pro tip: Noldorin elves make good banners, very crisp lines. Once enticed, lock up and enjoy.

All jokes aside, I hope you like my version of Annatar!

Hey there, been loving the way you draw silm characters! If you’re still taking requests in September I’d love to see Tuor? Thank you!

not sure where i think this is but i wanted some tree practice and some soft light from behind. maybe an early morning in gondolin? or maybe he's taking a stroll around his cave in mithrim? up to you!

(still taking requests through the end of september!)

Could I possibly get Maedhros with the gay flag.... A gay-dhros, if you will 😁

+ aro for @curufiin & Annon - polyamory flag for @death220467 - ace for annon

A gay-dhros in Valinor it is :)

@ curufiin I might be working on our all favorite dark lord too....

@ death220467 lucky you someone already requested that XD but I do have to admit, and I think I´ve said it before, that it is a very intriguing idea you have👀

Can you do a doddle of Turin braiding Beleg's hair🙏

He realized braiding hair wasn't as easy as how Beleg made it look like

@solmarillion requested Edrahil and I also got a few requests for Finrod (@wizardysseus and anon asks) as well, so here's a moment between them! Edrahil, steadfast and caring, while Finrod is reeling after the events of the Dagor Bragollach.

Hope you guys enjoy!! Thank you for the requests and the kind words <3

(+ here's some sketches I did when figuring out how I wanted to draw Edrahil:

Hi, happy Finrod with his nauglamir, thanks

One golden boy is coming right your way!

I hope you like him~☆

Gil-galad the last Elven High King

And a close up

"Gil-galad was an Elven king

Of him the harper sadly sing

The last whose realm was fair and free

Between the Mountains and the Sea."

- from" The Fall of Gil-galad

Here is the line art of my next Elven Lord in Armor.

Here is the link to Elrond of that serie!

I wanted to give Gil- galad the look of a tragic hero. He is the last of a long ruling line and he is a pillar for the Elven in the second age.

And I wanted to make him look as nice as possible. Like a good boy.

I also made him look very youthful for a better effect I imagine that he is painted like that:

" a youthful hero who defeated sauron."

I know sauron wasn't really defeated and gil-galad didn't do it alone.

For colors I'm conflicted I would love a golden-autumn theme for him but he is not described like that. More for maedhros then

Soo I'm trying to go for a white-gold look with maybe burnt orange here and there.

Sneaking in the autumn.

As for Hair color. I really love brunett Gil-galad. It fits my image of him the most.

And his weapon Aeglos

I don't think I did this spear justice but I try to go for a brilliant white silver blade to white gold at the end.

I love the description from the game: "Shadow of war"

Gil-galad wields a well made Spear

The orcs will fear my point of Ice

When he sees me in Fear of Death

He will know my Name

Aeglos

Well hope you guys like my Gil-galad ❤️

The Traitor of Gondolin

Maeglin for @wyvunn

I kind of ended up making this a full blown piece without meaning to, he's such an interesting subject matter though, and I've never drawn him before.

[silmawensgarden]

Would you be okay drawing a Curufin and a Celegorm? 🥺

A rather quick, sketchy doodle of Curufin & Celegorm during an afternoon in Himlad. Curufin is reading up on some linguistics, Celegorm is carving a squirrel.

BONUS:

Silly Cruffin & Celery.

Thank you so much for requesting! I hope you like it 🥰🩷

A portrait from the days of bliss

There is a portrait of Feanáro with his three sons, painted very shortly after the Silmarils had been finished. Maedhros was an adult already, Maglor was what in human terms would be a teenager, and Celegorm was a toddler. (Nerdanel and Finwë were away, visiting friends for a couple weeks)

There is, of course, the version of it that up to this day hangs in Tirion, after being taken from the abandoned Formenos. The official, well-composed, well-behaved painting.

But there's also another version. For, you see, it was in fasion in those days, to paint portraits that looked spontanous, as if somehow capturing a moment, intimate and unplanned. They often were composed of many moments, many expressions of personality that occured during the painting.

In the painting, as it was planned by Feanor, he is in the back, towering over his sons (Maedhros isn't much taller than his father, but isn't much shorter either, so a step was used to achieve the composition. The room is dark, but obove the prince there is a window, letting in the bright radiance of Laurelin, so that Feanor is in parts bright like a flame, and in parts covered in deep shadows. This is true for both paintings.

But in the unknown portrait his face is angry, captured mid-sentence as he was probably berating his sons.

Only Maedhros is well-behaved, standing calm in the front-center with his left hand at Maglor's arm (assuredly? threateningly?). The truesilver circlet bearing the gem (all three have such circlets) sits properly on his head, and his hair is well-braided, tied high with a crimson ribbon (who made it?), braids falling like lava a cascade from the top of his hair. The only spontaneity here is his right hand raised to fix the hair, the ribbon caught by a gust of wind, raised up, twirling at his wrist, messy and breaking the composition, the other end of it falling on his forehead, dying the light of the Silmaril red.

Maglor is standing there turned half to the side, rolling his eyes and clearly unhappy to be in the portrait. His hair is a wavy mess, half-braided, falling onto the circlet so that the light piercing through is dark, almost greenish even though his hair is dark brown.

Little Tyelco has a bird in his hand (how did he get a songbird into the portrait without his father noticing is not known), had the circlet in his other hand and very clearly tried to eath both, but at the moment captured by the painter the bird has just pecked him, the circlet is falling down (with droplets of saliva sparkling in the air) and Tyelco has the peculiar expression of a child that is just about to cry.

The other portrait shows them all standing proud and smiling and, to be honest, this is what they did for most of the time (first tyelco got pecked, some time after Maglor got visibly bored, and their father started berating him for complaining)

There is a portrait of Feanáro with his three sons, painted very shortly after the Silmarils had been completed, by a painter who had, to be honest, more foresight than manners. But not many have ever seen it.
