your pinned post says "I'm not a real artist" but I saw it's from going on two years ago and I've seen what you've done in the last two years, so. just thought I'd check if that still rings true? you seem awfully real to me <3
(sorry it took me a minute to answer, this ask got me right in the emotions)
“weight of a mythic past”
originally posted on the SWG for the challenge prompt “byzantine architecture” :)
back when I made my masked ainur post for Tolkien Fashion Week, I was also playing around with some gandalf designs. I couldn’t settle on one I liked so I dropped them … but in retrospect, I think I like both haha
sorcerer-queens :) a mucha style study and very belated request response for the lovely @southaway who requested galadriel and melian!
Hello! I really liked the outfit design you did for the Hadorians and Beorians for Tolkien Fashion Week; all the details were fun to read! If you're willing to share, I'm curious how you came up with inspiration for the outfit designs, and how you determined what ideas to finally run with?
thank you! 💛 I love drawing fashion and seeing everyone’s amazing creativity during @tolkienfashionweek has been a delight. My answer to your question is kind of long, so here is a bonus doodle (young Dior trying on the Beorian capelet his father gave him!) and a bunch of text below the cut.
i was out of town for most of @tolkienfashionweek last week, so here is a fill for a few different days at once! feat. Aerin modeling First Age Hadorian womenswear and some partly finished sketches of Bëorians :)
For day one of @tolkienfashionweek , headcanons on the evolution of (elf-friendly) fashion and fana among the Valar :)
*bounding into your askbox like an overexcited rabbit* hello! could I please request Mithrellas/Nimrodel for Tolkien Fem Feb!💚
the night isn’t so dark when they travel together :)
Thank you for giving me an excuse to design these two! I had a badly timed tech mishap that prevented me from drawing for a bit, but I was determined to finish at least one of the lovely @tolkienfemfeb requests folks sent in before the end of February. the others will … get done in March, I guess 😅
Ooo since your requests are open I would love to see your take on Maeglin! Or Celebrimbor!
“In this you shall obey me, or I shall set you in bonds.” …. And Maeglin did not answer, but was cold and silent. | “Come, Maeglin son of Eöl! Your father commands you. Leave the house of his enemies and the slayers of his kin, or be accursed!” But Maeglin answered nothing. | “This second choice I take and for my son also! You shall not hold what is mine!” … But Maeglin looking upon his father was silent. | “So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I.” … And Maeglin stood by and said nothing.
Maeglin + silence 🤫 Thank you for the request!
I have been waiting so long to catch your requests open again! I don't have words for how much I love seeing your art on my dash! Since I keep thinking about the amazing fic you wrote for TRSB, could I request your take on Thingol?
For you, of course!! Your art is amazing, and it was a privilege to collab with you for TRSB. :) I reread the Lay of Leithian recently and it gave me Big Feelings … “those whom I love and cherish above all treasure…” 😭
Ooh since requests are open may I please request an Elwing or an Indis? I love your art so much btw!!!
Hope you have a wonderful day :D
I’m a buff!Indis truther. To me “golden-haired and tall, and in all ways unlike Míriel” means she was eight-foot and built like a linebacker. She is where Galadriel gets it from.
Elwing for @rana-temporaria as my first doodle of the new year! Thank you for your request, and I hope you have a lovely day too. :)
