'Then the maiden turned to him and smiled, and she said: "Who are you? And why do you call me by that name?"
Or would they squeeze her into a perfunctory line in a thousand-page story, as a throwaway reference to the tragic life of Elrond Peredhel? When they write the histories of the Third Age, would they take her long, loving, beloved life, and shove it into three weeks in a cave on Caradhras?
Would that be her fate?
Four-thousand-year-old Celebrìan, the earwig-squasher, the snort-laugher, the breadcrumb-leaver, the beating heart of the valley, who lived as well as she could, until she couldn't. Brave, kind, beloved. A single footnote long.
A South Asian inspired take on the wonderful Celebrìan, gorgeous scars and all, who has a very special place in my heart and frankly is someone I Can Never Be Normal About. Art my own, words from my fic.
hand-galad was an elven king; of him the harpers sadly sing
(originally from the gil galad series)
Totally unfair leaving all this in the tags...
#elrond stuck the googly eyes on his sock face #plus little felt eyelid bits to make the angry eyes #important question: since hand-galad was in fact born under the light of the Trees #do the googly eyes glow?

Thank you @navyinks for these amazing pieces as part of the charity commissions. I am absolutely blown away by how brilliant and beautiful these are. Please go and check out the rest of the series, they are amazing! First one is Celegorm and Celebrimbor spending quality uncle-nephew time.
Second one is a portrait of Celebrían, Gil-galad, and Elrond having a good time.
Thank you again, Navy! ♥️
Eärendil and Elwing. I couldn't let @halfelvenweek slip by without drawing my favorite peredhil :)
quick sketchy doodle of Fingon and Maedhros. Before Leaving Valinor of course. Playing around with a few features, esp on Fingon.. such as him having gold highlights instead of gold jewelry in his hair, and glowing golden eyes :>
Then it just felt right to doodle a Maedhros as well 😌
'...Thus fell the High King of the Noldor; and they beat him into the dust with their maces, and his banner, blue and silver, they trod into the mire of his blood.'
That is! Im going to cry my eyes out...

Memorial to those lost on the Helcaraxë.

The memorial references the Halls of Mandos as well as the flowers fumellar and simbelmynë
I think Dior deserves a beard and almost completely round ears. Just some real human vibes coming off this guy if you ask me. Iconic how he told the Feanorians to fuck off (king shit) and forgot that the girdle was gone (less king shit).
Side bar, I think it would be very much the vibe if he wore golden ear caps sometimes for appearing more elven purposes. also I am so unwell about the Nauglamir getting the silmaril glued into it.
The Herald of Gil-Galad
I was going to make someone else, but then I didn't. Here's another Elrond, this time from the Second Age. This one was a lot of fun.
Now I just have to figure out who to make next.
Click for a better view, I can't get Tumblr to work with me.
Huan and Luthien in Celegorm’s stolen coat.
ups, I accidentally posted it with a strange black line on the side, please don’t reblog that one! xo
Squeaking in at the end of the month with an ask because I just can't resist your beautiful art...
How about a Celeborn? I'd love to see what you do with him.
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work! 💕
he heard galadriel was gonna be taking a walk with melian in the back gardens sometime this morning so he's been sitting here for like three hours and is on the verge of falling asleep; luckily for him galadriel thinks he's cute when he's too tired to stand on his dignity
(requests currently closed; check back in like 3-6 months or so)
Hellooo if you’re still taking requests, could you draw curufin? Thanks <33
they're hiding in a colonnade no one ever thinks to check so tyelpe can take a break from all his very excited grandparents and uncles, and so curvo can take a break from making sure tyelkormo isn't stealing the baby to strap him into the special little saddle he made for huan (which he swears is "totally safe, atarinke, you're no fun and you never have been")
unfriends forever
