Maedhros: You're adopted.
Elrond: *Confused*
Elrond: I was there when you adopted me.
Feisty little elves
About two years ago, @tosquinha drew my design of Glorfindel and I drew them a silly little Bilbo. It was one of my first art trades, and seeing the result made me so happy. I would constantly think about this perfect thing, and my days would be brighter. So, this is a little thanks to @tosquinha. Thank you!
Haleth for @epsilonium! I hope you like her and forgive my inability to draw backgrounds. Happy Holidays! Drawn as a part of the @tolkiensecretartexchange which is a wonderful thing!
Long time no see… so have some imaginary of the Valar Aule and Yavanna. I’ve my own thoughts and ideas why I drew them the way they’re shown but I’m gonna keep it for later :>
my bbys!!, I havnt drawn them in 4 OR 3 YEARS,, either way its far too long.
WIP. I really enjoy rigging. Maybe too much… I will finish animating him soon
I was looking through my sketchbook I found this small drawing on Annatar. This one turned out well for me :D
Finished this Celebrimbor drawing. Don’t look at the hands please I’m begging.

My friend requested I create a Sauron/Mairon doll for him !!!!
It's full of imperfections but I'm pretty happy with the design and overall the execution for something that's a 100% handmade with leftover fabric, hot glue and hand sewing hehehehe
Thank you @fowi-g for giving me a reason to craft again you deserve every hour spent on this dumbass ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕
Gift my bestie @rosenrotstuff made for me. Thank you, babygirl. Tyelpe is arriving in Mordor, and Sauron (Tyelpe still calls him Annatar) is mindful and concerned about ash getting in his elf’s perfect silky hair.
A Dark Lord, is still a lord.

Y'all the worldbuilding is getting intense rn, I'm having so many thoughts, because Elrond is a mosaic of dozens of different people, so many facets and multitudes, and different people see different things in him. People see his starry grey eyes and dark hair and hear his Voice and think of Lúthien, think of Maglor. They see his braids and attribute it to Turgon’s preference for traditional styles rather than that well-known Fëanorian obsession. His gracious courtly manners are from Melian or Idril, though clearly taught by Maedhros, who learned from Finwë. His skills and wisdom and bearing are clearly passed down from any or all of the 20+ different kings, queens, lords and princesses he is associated with. He dances like Lúthien and Idril. He is as courageous as Fingon and Beren and Eärendil, as fierce in battle as Fingolfin and Maedhros and, Eru forbid, Fëanor. He speaks archaic Quenya, just like the Gondolindrim, if only one ignores the Fëanorian accent. His giggle is Elwing’s, birdlike and odd; his laugh is rich and merry like Finwë’s; that half-despairing chuckle is Beren’s; the endearingly awkward titter is Finarfin’s; the exhilarated whoop is Fingon’s; the manic mid-battle cackle is Fëanor through and through. He fights left-handed like Eärendil and Maedhros, plays the harp right-handed like Fingon and Finrod and Maglor; he can write with either hand, producing a spindly scrawl with his left (so like Maedhros, so like Elwing) and authoritative calligraphy with his right (so like Fëanor, so like Thingol). His eyes are the chasm of the heavens - he gets that from Melian - but did Maeglin not also inherit his piercing gaze from Aredhel? He has his father’s jaw and his mother’s hair, or was it Turgon’’s jaw and Finwë’s hair, or maybe those angular bones came from fair Nimloth and the little flick of a curl at his temple from Beren. In certain lights he’s the spitting image of Thingol - or was it Fingolfin? The tilt of his wrist is as bird-like and fragile as Dior’s, as graceful and deliberate as Idril’s. His cheeks dimple when he smiles, just like Fingon, and his eyes crease when his face softens with fondness, just like Tuor, who looks little like Haleth but in moments like this. When he’s concentrating, the furrow of his brow is Thingol’s and the lip between his teeth is Beren’s, who took after Bëor. That eyebrow raise brings to mind 15 different people, all of them dead. One may look at Elrond and see a lost loved one in his profile, until the light shifts just slightly and he becomes the one who killed them, before he turns his head just so and suddenly looks like a complete stranger. Elrond is a Silmaril of ghosts, each facet a memory, love and terror and awe and joy and grief reflected and refracted upon one another again and again, radiant, hypnotic, infinite.
Damn, that’s so me
i like to think that i'm someone who has a fairly good working knowledge of lord of the rings and assorted texts but then i encounter people on here who casually use the quenya name of characters from the silmarillion and then i'm like oh no i am a little baby still learning to read compared to all you full grown tolkien professors
