“She was strong, free of mind, and filled with the desire for knowledge…She made images of men and women of the Eldar, and these were so alike that their friends, if they knew not her art, would speak to them.”
(In universe backstory)
This painting of Nerdanel, titled The Sculptor at Work, is painted by her husband, Fëanor. The subject of the unfinished sculpture is believed to be Fëanor himself.
Hello @grxmoire — I am your secret santa for @officialtolkiensecretsanta! I hope you’re having an absolutely lovely day, whatever you may (or may not) celebrate. We have so many of the same favorite characters, I couldn’t decide on just one picture. So here’s:
1 & 2: Túrin & Beleg, happy together. 3: Celebrimbor & Maeglin, bonding in the hills near Gondolin 4. Maeglin enjoying some Quality Mining Time™

Since one of the prints of my Second Age watercolour of “Sending out ships” is slightly damaged in the upper lefthand corner, I’m giving it away. If you’re interested in entering the draw, reblog/retweet until tomorrow, Sunday 22nd May 23h GMT+1.
Also, because the two complete sets of all my 15 Second Age artworks sold out so quickly, I’ve made another two sets available at my storenvy:
A curious Legolas and Ava peeking through the leaves (I hope it’s okay I gave her so much Jewlery, she’s always given me the vibes that she would have lots of piercings if they weren’t at war. And I LIVE for Legolas having a Goth GF)
Today marks the 23rd anniversary of my first encounter with the works of JRR Tolkien. It was a life-changing experience in many ways. To celebrate the occasion, here’s my latest Tolkien inspired watercolour.
And in Utumno Melkor gathered his demons about him, those spirits who first adhered to him in the days of his splendour, and became most like him in his corruption.
And Melkor made also a fortress and armoury not far from the north-western shores of the sea, to resist any assault that might come from Aman. That stronghold was commanded by Sauron, lieutenant of Melkor; and it was named Angband.
In seven hours the glory of each tree waxed to full and waned again to naught; and each awoke once more to life an hour before the other ceased to shine. Thus in Valinor twice every day there came a gentle hour of softer light.
“The weaver, the shaper of wood, and the worker in metals; and the tiller and husbandman also, though these last and all that deal with things that grow and bear fruit must look also to the spouse of Aulë, Yavanna Kementári.”
@cultivating-wildflowers has been rereading LOTR and mentioned that since Tom Bombadil had been around since forever, he was there before the firstborn elves. He was basically their introduction to sentient beings. Which is super funny but also super terrible because imagine being an elf, exploring and trying to learn about this new world you’ve found yourself in, and suddenly this strange, short man comes prancing by, singing nonsense, and you begin to question everything you’ve learned so far.
Melkor ’s farewell in the War of Wrath ) The sketch has been around since the 19th year, but it has become more relevant now, in the sense that no one knows when they will have to say goodbye to the fandom. No, I’m going to draw it while there’s a playground, just who knows. So if anything - it was cool, fun and “I did it my way”)
