Finrod - Blog Posts
Very latish happy new year everyone! But it is never too late for kisses under mistletoe
What a bittersweet, heart wrenching moment it must have been when Galadriel first met Aragorn and saw he wore the ring that Finrod had given to Barahir so many thousands of years ago. That her brother's love was still being carried as such a treasured symbol of hope.
I think about this a lot.
Made this a little while ago, I'll be doing more when I have the spoons for it lol.
The Silmarillion as Vines
And Finrod fell before the throne
Piece inspired by the Duel of Finrod and Sauron from the Lay of Leithian rock opera.
See under the cut for some more inspirations (and a Leithian photo dump)
The pics with the screen background come after I already started on my piece but they match perfectly the aesthetic I was going for and I just wanted to post them anyways.
Another big inspo was the art used for The Battle of Finrod and Sauron by Clamavi de Profundis, here’s a mediocre screenshot:
Last in my inspirations were several fanarts I saw on tumblr using the a similar colour scheme with abstract swirls to represent the song of power.
Please help me push the "birkenstock wearing nudist" agenda. 🙏🥺💕
Absolutely. I feel like we have too many Villain with Ambiguous European Accent tropes in Anglo fantasy and action films, and we need to open the floor to the other tropes:
✅ Nudity Culture
✅ Birkenstock
✅ Sprightly tourist energy
✅ Into Weird Animals 🐺
✅ Concerning yet Expensive Taste in Bling
✅ Grungy Underground Nightclubs
You know who ticks all those boxes?

Hang in there
A supportive message from Finrod for a dear friend of mine and whoever needs to hear it. Hang in there... Life is surreal. Don't let it get to you.
