some ramblings on how i make skin tones and hair look good together

as always, there are exceptions: eg. if your art is really stylised, going bright red probably won’t look as bad as if your art is more realistic (like mine is). there’s also an element of taste: i tend to like more soft, pastel-y, natural tones, so obviously i favour them, but but i tried to keep these tips more general colour theory-esque even though im definitely still learning

i see them less as rules and more as general guidelines because if something looks good, it looks good regardless of if it follows them or not

mightve used the word ‘complement’ in an un-technical way but i trust that you get my drift

I’ve been trying some different random things lately (but I won’t adopt any of these experimental styles). 

Beren finding Luthien / Feanor’s spirit leaving his body/ / Portrait of Thingol (?)

Celebrimbor

Just playing around with the pattern stamp and failing at traditional shading (tho to be fair I did the ink and coloring in an hour and a half total so…not the most in depth work I’ve ever done)

Ulmo, Lord of Waters never was married. But he was not lonely, as sea and river were house, love and pleasure for him.

average elven family has 2 pairs of twins is a false statistic. elrond’s family, which has 10 pairs of twins, is an outlier and should not havd been counted,

I’M AT IT AGAIN

“In Númenor you either favor the land or the sea…” some concept sketching for my númenor comic feat. igmil and uinen.

No one: 

My fuckin head: WHAT IF BABY ELVES HAD TO GROW INTO…. T H E M

Benefits include fun new elf-specific insults such as: ‘haven’t grown into your own ears’ - implying childish foolishness or naivety

okay so obviously i wasn’t organized enough to finish this in time but here’s a feanorian week day 1 wip. they’re both reborn by now and Fingon is going to make Maedhros actually get up and be presentable for once (he’s doing his hair)

please don’t tag as russingon? or tag it as like platonic russingon or something

@feanorianweek day four, Caranthir

Sailor Morifinwe cannot believe that her mother made her go out and fight evil when she could have stayed home with a good book. Through her signature magic staff, she channels the power of her emotions and imposes her surly disaffacted attitude on her enemies.

I forgot about Feanorian week and i’m kinda upset because I wanted to do it this year

But I also forgot to post this drawing

So here it is

@feanorianweek

Hey, @feanorianweek fans, it’s Curufin day!

Formerly Sailor Chibi-Curufinwe, if anyone calls her that now that she’s old enough to have a daughter of her own, they’re likely to get a smack with her signature hammer. Sailor Curufinwe is a princess and she knows it, and expects everyone to treat her accordingly.

Sailor Telperinquar is excited to be exactly like her mom, and isn’t quite old enough yet to see any potential flaws in that plan.
