Well... I'm about to go on holiday so I won't be super active, BUT this is a sneak peek of my latest #Maedhros because I love him your honour and I can't resist 💙
Okay, you probably know by now that when someone is my favourite, there's no escaping my portraits. So have another Maedhros - this time as a baby with his mum (and yep, I'm on a mission to revise old works!)
I hope you like it, and sorry for my one-track mind 🙈
I always loved #twins, and #Elrond and #Elros have a special place in my heart - I wonder when Elros made his choice, and I like the take that it did so when both were still fairly young. I imagine it must not have been easy 💔
It took me a while to paint a Maglor I was satisfied with, but I'm pretyt happy with the result <:
I hope you like it too! 💙
PS: I appreciate that my elves (especially the Noldor) aren't very flashy - they have no circlets, or jewels, or shiny robes. This is bc I'm trying to focus more on the basic features, and the lovely viewers can imagine all the extras they like <: Think of paper dolls, but 2D 🙈
PS: is Celegorm supposed to have gold hair, or silver hair? I'm not sure, but since I already painted a golden version, it was time to try my hand at silver <;
C'est aujourd'hui, à l'occasion des 50 ans de la 1ère trad. VF du #SeigneurDesAnneaux et du décès de J.R.R. #Tolkien, que paraît la nouvelle édition intégrale reliée et illustrée par l'auteur aux Éditions Christian Bourgois à 89€.
À paraître ce jeudi 19 octobre : #LeSeigneurDesAnneaux de J.R.R. #Tolkien, édition intégrale de luxe illustrée par l'auteur, traduction de Daniel Lauzon, aux Éditions Christian Bourgois !
JRR Tolkien wrote in an English rooted in the Britain of 100 years ago. For that reason we're starting to lose touch with the language used in the book.
This is a thread of words and references that I have noticed in my current read-through, which I think might easily be misunderstood.
@Loukas
I would add:
Someone who's a lot of fun, but with connotations of wildness and irresponsibility. Naughty like a child rather than staid like a grown-up.
But thank you for this thread, it's very well-observed and remarkably helpful! People don't speak this way at all nowadays!
