Something quick and simple with Feanor and Fingolfin

The arrow is kind of random because I didn't want to give swords to both of them. Don't judge me!

haleth and caranthir’s height difference is insane, I know it

ABOUT TIME SOMEONE GAVE THIS LADY MUSCLES! She’s a stone carver peoples, not a ballerina. Draw her as she is.

started off as me redrawing some of my initial mairon designs and ended up going on an rpg tangent 😭 i really wish i could have done the portraits in a pixel art style to better fit the aesthetic but my canvas wasnt the right size!!! i ended up changing annatar completely (im still contemplating how much i prefer this one compared to his old one however...!) and adjusting post-numenor sauron a bit when compared to their old 2022 sketches! im probably gonna do more redraws in the months to come cause of all the stuff i wanna change when i look back to some of my old designs haha 😳

bonus: void delusions (nebula background designed by Freepik)

i like to think each 'form' sauron takes eventually has different mannerisms and likes/dislikes the longer he stays in them without shapeshifting into something else, but one thing they all have in common is being predisposed to nagging melkor 😎

DELIGHTED to report that this movie is GOOD, and furthermore it is a GOOD ADDITION TO THE TOLKIEN LEGENDARIUM! It fleshes out the timeline with interesting characters, mostly women, without feeling the need to blow everything up to LotR-tier proportions! It has a fun but not overwhelming amount of character & actor cameos and narrative allusions to the bigger plots, while fully standing on its own! It had Giant Eagles playing assistant kingmaker, for those bold enough to ask; despair and grief and hope; and the music was full of soaring trumpets!

And it might only be playing in theaters for like a week, for some fucking reason!

been thinking about Beren and Lúthien ballet adaptation again...

[sun-snatcher]

Bucky Barnes canonically knowing about LOTR means he probably later picked up reading The Silmarillion after he got out of HYDRA years later.

All this to say— he would have absolutely loved Maedhros: Tortured by an Evil! Lost his arm! Has a kinslaying history! And then later has a (albeit controversial) redemption??

I'm actually obsessed with Charlie Vickers as Sauron, in a way I haven't been obsessed with an adapted character in a long time. And I love Charlie's portrayal of Sauron in his various forms, Halbrand, Annatar.

But Jack Lowden of Sauron was something I didn't know I needed and now I can't help but need it more and more. Jack's appearance in the prologue of season two only deepened my obsession with Sauron in the days of Angband.

And I keep thinking about how many stories Prime Video could give us. I like the representation of the characters in the series so much, that I could watch exclusive movies and series of each character and never get tired.

After watching the first episode of the second season, I spent every day that followed thinking about scenes that could be presented from Sauron's past in Angband. Prime Video, I am at your gates begging for new scenes of my red-haired Sauron!

@erendur @edennill I thought you two might find this an amusing thought too

I love the idea that Maglor was a famous singer in the years of the trees like imagine you go to war and get killed by Beyoncé

[partfae]

this is well-trod ground, but i like the idea that gil-galad is the son of orodreth specifically because of the headcanon that he started using aeglos so that he could kill orcs with the same weapon they used to kill his sister. that's the exact kind of dramatics and poetic justice i would expect from a second age elf.
