Cold Morning In Himring

Fingon the Valiant !

Man he turned to looks like such a cutie not gonna lie ❤️

The pose and clothes are from @knights-of-beleriand .

They made such a nice cosplay check them out if you see this !

A well deserved break 💤

Another doodle and also thinking about when in the book, after the ring was destroyed when they were brought back to Rivendell, that Frodo woke up first, saw that Sam was still asleep and just went back to sleep until Sam also wakes up 😭

🟥 Maedhros 🟥

Feanor

i was wondering which reshade preset you're using? i love the look of your screenshots!

thank you so much! 🥰 i actually haven't posted many pictures using reshade - most of my gameplay pictures are still from my pre-linux archive. but if you're interested in the PSD i use, i can upload it!

i call it my Peppy PSD because it just puts a little extra pep into the existing game!

Download (Dropbox)

examples of before/after shots are below the cut. the beauty of this PSD is that it works on 99% of screenshots!

I find it a little too strong on photos of sims against blank backdrops, but otherwise it tends to work very nicely, day or night.

this is not the most economical psd out there - i have tons of layers at lowered opacities making very slight adjustments. since it's mostly for personal use, it doesn't bother me, but just a heads up.

(if I can figure out how to recreate this 1:1 as a reshade preset, i'd be happy to share that too!)

Turgon, King of Gondolin- High King of the Noldor (Or, one of them anyways)

Last, but not least, Turgon. This is another I've drawn before, I stuck with the same design, just updated. I really just wanted him to look regal, and it was a fun chance to throw in Glamdring.

As one year wraps up and another begins I wanted to thank everybody. As of scheduling these, I'm at just below five hundred followers. Just from posting Tolkien art, just from doing something that makes me happy. I feel like I've grown a lot as an artist in the last year. One of the Lord of the Rings actors has my art on his phone! I still can't believe that. I never could have even imagined that when I first watched Lord of the Rings as a child. For all of its ups and downs, I think we really do have a great fandom. Full of wonderful and creative people. The next year is going to be hard, I won't pretend it won't be. The next four years is going to be hard. But the connections and friendships we forge over the internet and across the world is a light in dark places. The act of creation is a light in dark places. Kindness is a light in dark places. I can't think of anything more true to the spirit of Tolkien's work than resilience and hope in the face of overwhelming despair. Stay alive, and stay safe. You're a light in dark places, when all other lights have gone out.

Fingolfin during Dagor Bragollach also called the Battle of the Sudden Flame. A horrible event that ended the siedge of Angband and resulted in Noldor elves being slaughtered by Morgoth forces by the thousands.

i didn't realize until i was pretty much done that this is basically just arwen's red-and-blue dress from the movies with more fiddly bits but. oh well. like great-great-grandmother, like great-great-granddaughter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
