May I interest you in some sketches from 2017? That was the year I first read the Silmarillion (and other First Age stuff) so these are both relatively early designs (though not the earliest: note that Beleg has his li’l forelock). And I’m trying to pad the queue here so that it lasts longer, so I might as well, right?
