#valar

[figbythistle]

Happy Tolkien Reading Day! Here's an older sketch I did of Nienna:) I tried to use tear-drop shapes in her design because of her association with grief and compassion, but I also tried to convey a sense of quiet strength in her expression, because she's also associated with courage. She's one of my favourite of the Valar.

@skaelds Irmo from "A Study on Peace by Melkor Bauglir" has been living rent free in my brain. He gives "Whimsical coloring book" vibes.

Eru: Here are all the resplendent Valar whom you may serve. This is Manwë, whose domain is Air, the very Breath of Arda. This is Yavanna, Giver of Fruits and Queen of Earth. But I think for you, most fitting would be Aulë the Smith, who—

Mairon, pointing at Melkor: I want that one.

Eru: Him?!

The rest of the Valar: Him?!

Melkor, in the background, choking on the water he was drinking straight from a flower vase: Me?!

Enamel pin designs featuring heraldic devices for (some, but not all) the valar, important characters from Tolkien's legendarium. I will be creating heraldic devices for all the valar (eventually). Which ones speak out to you? Do you have a favorite vala? If I'm honest, I really can't decide, but I do really love Mando's, Ulmo's, and Manwë's devices!

I’m making these via. Kickstarter and will be released as a three-part series. The first campaign is live! 🙌 Here’s a link. 🔗
