The curse of the Noldor, King edition 👑

I'm sorry for the awful watermarks, but I couldn't find that part of the song on TikTok, and I didn't want to download it and edit it again.

This took months, and the distribution of that time was like 10% drawing the characters, 15% thinking about possible BG elements and drawing them, 50% procrastinating starting the editing, 15% animating the elements, 10% choosing and putting the transitions.

But I'm so happy that it's done 💖💖

if you're still taking requests, id love to see your take on Eonwe 😳(maybe with Mairon/Sauron too hehe)

regardless, also just wanted to say that i absolutely ADORE your art and the way you draw Sauron is just 😩😩absolute perfection

Mairon and Eonwe probably going out to annoy Olorin or check out Arien.

So that's my first attempt at a design for Eonwe, I like the direction but would probaby need a few more attempts to say I found it.

im a bit rusty when it comes to rendering comics but since i missed out on the yearly comic offering in 2024, here is an old draft from 2021 that has been sitting as a wip in my folder for 4 years ajsddhj

bonus: what master smiths do in their free time

Finished from this

The tapestries made by the Aubusson manufacture based on the art of JRR Tolkien are currently exhibited at the Collège des Bernardins in Paris until May. @actual-bill-potts and I went there yesterday, they're so beautiful!!

These are all handmade tapestries, each is based on a Tolkien artwork (the Rivendell one has the facsimile on the right for scale).

Under the cut: group ID and bonus details

ID: 7 photos of the tapestries, which are each about 3m high, located in a 13th century monastery. The first is the map of middle earth, the others are illustrations Tolkien made of his books. The bonus photos below are details of the tapestries.

@autistook one does not simply scoot into mordor

Elrond in the illustrated version of "the Hobbit" is honestly my favorite Elrond, he looks so silly. He is definitly one of the singing elves in the tree. He also looks like a Habsburg (which is appropriate, he did marry his cousin) and the dress-thingy looks like something Courtney Love would wear

Apparently, I messed up the previous version by accidentally putting "no" where it should be "yes" in one of the answers, so here we go...

Sharing what you think is encouraged - let's just not start a tumblr kinslaying...

I would be grateful for reblogging for the sample size, because the results in the previous one are meaningless after my mistake...

Very latish happy new year everyone! But it is never too late for kisses under mistletoe
