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 💔
After the comments I got on this, I want to publicly say that you are all correct, when I painted this I was all about sad Maedhros BUT WHAT IF (swipe please <; )
(I considered writing "did you say Silmaril?" but it seemed too mean 😝)
Something super quick today - Maglor being all sad because something I love is to make myself cry while thinking of stranded modern elves (but fear not because the happiness is around the corner, says Clo, the Queen of the Fix-It)
It seems that I'm about to be sucked into the #Silmarillion AGAIN, so 1) pray for me and 2) please have a super old sketch dump while I work on a new one 🙈
In (dis)order: angsty/sleeping #Maedhros (take your pic), baby Maedhros, short hair Maedhros, #Celegorm and #Huan, #Curvo’s hands, angsty Maedhros take 2, modern lost #Maglor, baby #Ambarussa, sleeping #Moryo and Maedhros’ hand because I’m a happy snail and I like Maedhros (after 5 Mae doodles I’m sure you might have guessed it)
Too sedated from neuro illness to read much at the mo. But started The Children of Hurin by JRR Tolkien. Though skipped opening context/intro. I'm taking it as a story on its own terms, without overbearing Silmarillion-esque trappinggs that I find off-putting. Liking the epic/myth/tragedy combo. #Books#Reading#Bookstodon#Tolkien#MiddleEarth#Silmarillion#Fantasy#Mythology#Tragedy#neuro#Fiction
My favorite "Christmas" song is this one by Sufjan. Mainly because it reminds me of what Tolkien wrote in the Silmarillion about the gift of Ilúvatar and how it later becomes the doom of man.
The song is "Justice Delivers Its Death" but 'Death' from the title becomes 'gift' when he's singing:
When you watch videos of people making color separated printing plates so you can fill out #Inkscape's #silmarillion deep lore backstory so when you go to write the much more focused feature, it has that lived in-real world feeling to it. 😅
On 2 September 1973 J.R.R. Tolkien died aged 81. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the best-selling book of the 20th Century, and is joined by seminal works The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.
He may have died 50 years ago but his influence and legacy lives on in us all.
So named due to the large number of new stars formed in such protoclusters. Varda Elentári is a character imagined by J.R.R. Tolkien, appearing in The Silmarillion.
You notice it is from a time before the internet as we use it today, as there were only few videos available, but here we go with #MirrorMirror: https://youtu.be/OwajBIrtekI
Hello!
I'm a data engineer from #Maine, where I live with my partner and two cats.
I've been lurking in #fandom since 2006, the year I learned to read and got internet access. I am here because I'd like to interact more around fandom topics, which have been a lifelong source of joy for me.
I especially enjoy #StarTrek, #HarryPotter, #ATLA, #LOTR, #Silmarillion
