silm zoo！

i had this modern AU in mind for some time after i answered that one mae and finno ask, and finally had the motivation to get started on it! well mostly i miss drawing modern clothing (u can only draw so many tunics and armor before you start to go loopy 😪) so this is my excuse to do that and silm stuff at the same time lol

ive already jotted down some hcs for celegorm, caranthir and finrod so i may make a part 2 in the future, but for now have my three best boys hehe 👉👈 discussions are always welcome cuz id love to hear other people's takes on a modern silm au!!

the idea of the peredhel twins having heightened senses due to their maia blood is one of the concepts ive seen floating around that i really like, so here's my take on it combined with the feanorians (+ fingon) lingering about as houseless spirits that i explored some time ago in an old inktober post 😌

houseless spirits see all, but they can't interact with the world around them so i suppose that makes for quite a static existence...but compared to an oathbound eternity in Mandos (sans Fingon??), i like to imagine they'll stay a little longer to watch over those left behind, just to make sure they're doing alright 👍🏻

some more lighthearted bonuses cuz why not:

LyraGoth series Sons of Fëanor. Posting in age order.

Yay. First drawings of 2025 and first time rendering backgrounds.

Some hcs: The brothers are physically affectionate <3 but, like most siblings, they also drive each other crazy. They’re a mafia-like family, bound by blood and oath, with (pretty much) only each other to rely on.

For Maedhros’ hand, I imagine a magical-metal-prosthetic crafted by Curufin—no screws, just brilliance and enchantment *-* The reference was T-1000 from Terminator 2.  Tyelko’s style mixes influences from Icelandic Vikings and native Brazilians—my home countries. He and Curufin wear matching Star of Fëanor jewelry.

Also, I did my best to give Carnistir his iconic red face XD

Lastly, Curufin is my favorite. I have countless hcs about him, many of which diverge from fanom (and that’s fine). But for now, I'll just say that I think he looks even more beautiful when he smiles.
