Rough sketch of a battle between an elves and orcs. Totally inspired by the events of the first age when Morgoth took over Beleriand.

I'm rereading The Lord of the Rings and I love the description of the elves Frodo, Pippin, and Sam meet as they begin their journey out of the Shire.

I imagine it looking something like this 😊

I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.

One of my favorite things in the LOTR books is Sam being obsessed with Elven magic and wanting to see it and when Galadriel finds out she basically tells Sam "I don't know what the fuck magic is but I can show you the future in this bowl of water if you want" as if that's just a normal ass thing to be able to do.

Father and Son of Mirkwood, drawn over the past few years! Fall is the season that most makes me think about "The Hobbit"

Not gonna lie, Elrond probably has the BEST case of Dad Lore™️ that has ever existed.

Like one day Elrohir is just helping wrap bandages or some shit and offhandedly mentions a cave he found and Elrond just goes off on a mini tangent of a cave he slept in with Maedhros when he did CPR for the first time and ate an orc raw or some shit. Elrohir just looks at him like ?????? And Elrond never mentions it again.

Arwen will be talking about dwarven trade routes and he will just be like “oh I’m pretty sure that’s where I delivered that dwarven baby after we hid from goblins back in the second age” and then no one knows what’s going on.

“Frodo took the phial, and for a moment as it shone between them, he saw her again standing like a queen, great and beautiful.”

Babe wake up Galadriel looks beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night

Thank you @snowyerebor @hasel-anne @vileviale @iced-flower-pot for the suggestion

I am currently working on new iterations for my version of the elves. I had this idea that the elven lifespan could be shown by their clothes by having them wear materials that are noticeably aged. So this elf is wearing oxidized metals, aged and fraying fabrics etc. I also decided to add in visible veins as well as subtle skin patterns to emphasise their otherworldly nature.

Maedhros.... The idea is actually premature, it was supposed to be a raw concept of Maedhros, I vaguely had him in my mind and need to sketch him as soon as possible. It turns out to be very good, I like it, it's perfect. I think I found my Maedhros.
