I feel bad that I haven't shared yet a short video of my Silmarillion calendar, packed with many Feanorians, some evil dark lords and the peredhil twins <:
And here's a quick recap of the available calendars!
Hannibal: 9
GO: SOLD OUT
IWTV: 14
Silm: 11
I have no excuses, he's just my fave elf! The babiest! The cutest! Today with scars and pain and sadness (◡‿◡✿)

Thank you, Wisesnail for picking this piece as my muse for me to write a little bit. It's been too long since I wrote anything, and this was fun.
Read A Work From Art HERE, on ao3!
Have you ready this gem (pun totally intended)? I didn't think it possible to write something so perfect from my painting - it really captures how I saw Maedhros here, with his wounds and scars still fresh, and all the insecurities coming with it!
Thanks so much, this is incredible - and I hope you had fun writing it!
"And being in anguish and despair [Maedhros] cast himself in a gaping chasm filled with fire, and so ended".
Do I think that Maedhros disrobed before throwing himself into the chasm? Hahaha no! But forgive this silly snail the poetic licence - this started as an anatomy study and it's meant to be a concept thingy anyway <;
I hope you like it! 💙

Curvo has been one of the first "new" concept portraits I painted during this #Silmarillion revival - I wasn't super happy with the result, so have what I think is an improved version <:
I hope you like it 💙
You can see the old version here <:

It took me a while to paint a Maglor I was satisfied with, but I'm pretty happy with the result <:
I hope you like it too! 💙
PS: I appreciate that my elves (especially the Noldor) are not very flashy - they have no circlets, or jewels, or shiny robes. This is because 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 🙈

Yep, I'm not over #TheSilmarillion yet, please bear with me 🙃
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 <;

Err… hello. I'm having some technical issues but this won't stop me from painting problematic #elves… Have another #Maedhros because I 💙 him (ꈍ ᴗ ꈍ✿)
(Once again, ref from Pinterest but despite checking I couldn't find the original source! Sorry!)

I mean, you are all correct, when I painted this I was all about sad Maedhros BUT WHAT IF
(I considered writing "did you say Silmaril?" but it seemed too mean 😝)(but not incorrect)

Baby isn't always angry! <3
(Will my gum pain stop before I finish sketching all the sons of Fëanor? I honestly don't know…)
Life is (gum) pain, and I tried to distract myself with a super quick Curufin ✨
Ciao ciao ciao I'm going to do some mouthwashes 🦷
Today I went to the dentist and I'm now in pain, so have some angsty feanorians so we can suffer togheter (❃◕ᴗ◕)ノ✿
The chibi are placeholders for what's to come XD
Ok, guys, I have so many problems and Feanorians are clearly one of them… Anyway, more warm-up doodles, this time with Maedhros’ brothers (I have a soft spot for them, so soft that in fact you can say it’s gooey…)
So, from top to bottom, Celegorm with puppy!Huan (I love dogs, Huan is a giant dog, how could I resist adding him to a Celegorm-related doodle?!), modern!Maglor (I like the idea of Maglor wandering and wandering and wandering some more through the ages…), Curvo (the subject were his hands with some crappy splendidly designed rings, and then the blood just appeared…), baby!Ambarussa (yes, I have another problem with twins and babies) and, last but not least, a sleeping Moryo
I AM SORRY. Maybe.
Ok guys, I’ve got mighty (and nerdy) needs, and I’ve uploaded my Silm-related stuff to my Society6 (prints) and RedBubble (prints, mugs, ipad and phone cases, etc) accounts - if you fancy some Curufin-mugs and Maglor-pilows too, go and have a look! C;
(I’m definitely going to give those grumpy Caranthir’s card to somebody I’m displeased with! XD )
Carnistir Speed Paint
Super busy (but interesting) week, no time to draw, so have a quick Caranthir before I go to sleep <: (it seems that drawing First Age elves relaxes me... mmmmh... it also makes me super sad though! D: )
Curufin
Quick doodle because I'm sleeeepy! D:
I was practicing some face anatomy, and I don’t know… it kinda turned into a Celegorm D: (smiles with teeth are hard orz )
