A Fingolfin for @nolofinweanweek
On the morning of the day he rode off to challenge Morgoth, in my mind.
You promised— He always liked to think that Earendil hated him. It made it easier, somehow. To push back the grief and the guilt and the filthiness that clung to his bones. But his nephew was constantly in his presence, laughing and chattering like a little bird. And Maeglin hated himself all the more for what he had done.

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.
No but image tho if baby Celebrimbor stole Curufin’s glasses and tried them on.
oh no the tiniest nerd
I am literally one of those high strung Respect Our Troops middle aged dads but about Frodo Baggins. If you hate on him I'm gonna pivot into a lecture about everything he's fought for and sacrificed and how you wouldn't last a day in his circumstances and
Sindar Week Drabbles! #5
A little hat tip to Círdan and company, for @sindarweek. Have 100 words of Eärendil learning to sing songs of the sea. Poor guy, always yearning. One of these days I'll write him happy, but it is not today.
********
It comes from his father, of course: the great call from the depths; the shivering rush when the waves curl and crash on the shore. But Tuor’s Sea-binding is not the sole source of Eärendil’s longing. The Sindar mariners string ropes of song between Sirion and Balar to calm the swell. They chant in the primordial rhythm of the blood as they haul sail and raise anchor and swab the pale decks of their sharp-beaked ships. Eärendil climbs to the crow’s nest, heart-sore, seeking the songs’ origin in the stars that shimmer, mirrored, on the unreadable face of the sea.
A slightly mussed up Nerdanel and an exhausted Feanor for Day 2 of @silmsmutweek Well, more like post-smut, but still.
They were watching each other work and then got a little distracted. (Nothing sexier than being a master at your craft, right?)
Also a late submission for @finweanladiesweek since I didn't get around to drawing my other Nerdanel idea back then, but at least I finished this one.
I’ve been posting some of my old Tolkien themed watercolor illustrations in my instagram lately so why not here as well, for old times sake. Lil hobbitses heading to adventure! Forests! Ents! The gaiety of the elvish feast!
《The Hunt》
mental image to share with y'all: Maedhros and Fingon's younger siblings deciding to plan their wedding for them (because they haven't figured out they're in love yet)
Character design of Maglor
For Maglor, I wanted to make a design that was a clear break away from his siblings. This is a significantly more elaborate, flower-vase design with themes centred around the ocean (self-explanatory lmao). The colour design inspiration is taken from Greensleeves, which coincidentally mentions a “heart of gold” in its lyrics - I also wanted a design that was elaborate down the centre of the torso to highlight the strength of his voice.
The other significant change worth mentioning is that while the others had a “3-motif,” the elements in Maglor’s design come in pairs. This change was made with regards with his and Maedhros’s last stand to reclaim the two remaining silmarils.
The instrument is a modified pipa with the head redesigned to a crane, referencing his fate to outlive his entire family.
Individual design posts Fëanor | Nerdanel Ambarussa | Curufin | Caranthir | Celegorm | Maglor | Maedhros
The seven sons of Fëanor were Maedhros the tall; Maglor the mighty singer, whose voice was heard far over land and sea; Celegorm the fair, and Caranthir the dark; Curufin the crafty, who inherited most his father’s skill of hand; and the youngest Amrod and Amras, who were twin brothers, alike in mood and face.
