Tattoo ideas for curufin and celegorm
For @starsofarda hc!
This was super fun but also super difficult to do.
No, not because the tattoos where hard to draw. I choosed very simple designs!
The December stress is getting to me haha let me tell you something "fun"
The celegorm drawing is on normal paper! No maker paper. Great idea yes?
NO! I did not realized in my tiny lizard brain that I did not changed the paper
So I colored it on the wrong paper because no way in hell I'm gonna draw all of the tiny scales again. WRONG DECISION AGAIN!
The colors went all through,bleeding over everything, effing everywhere !
And I mean even on me,on my drawing board ,on multiple other papers. There is bright bold red EVERYWHERE.
Other then that it was very fun project❤️
#silmarillion#tolkien#traditional art#silm art#celegorm#curufin#tattoo hc#i went for a snake on celegorms back#because in the earlier version he was finrod#and i still think that is very funny#oh and celegorm has a lion dog on his back with antlers#the lion dog is a protector of homes and family#curufin got a oni and red ropes on his back#the red ropes are said to hold back evil spirits or demons#i also gave him some runes#some have meanings like#strength and protection#i wanted both to have similar meanings but different cores for the tattoo#japanese tattoos often put symbols in that are suppose to balance the person#so the black parts on celegorms back are calmer to balance his temper#curufin got black fire and more movement in it#to get him out of his depression after feanor died
