hi umm this is crazy, there are already 1000 people following this blog??!

I never would've imagined so many people would like my art, let alone follow 😅

to everyone who takes the time to comment or reblog or write down their thoughts in the tags, I love you all, and I treasure all of it so deeply! 💛 I hope you'll still continue to stick around in the future!

Hail, writers of Arda!

The Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang enters its third art claims, and 18 artworks still seek their authors. From the shadowy corners of Angband to the flickering Hall of Fire, these stories span the ages of Middle-earth—and they’re waiting for you to bring them to life.

This round is open to all, whether you pledged your service early or have only now wandered into our fellowship. If you’ve ever longed to write tales of Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, Númenóreans, or even the servants of the Shadow, now is your moment.

Historically, every single prompt has found an author —and we want to keep that 100% match rate alive this year. Let’s make sure no art is left behind!

Third claims open when?

If you’re brand new and not signed up, please just email the mod team with interest and we will hook you up with all the art.

Take up your quill—and help bring the art of Arda to life once more.

an attempt at drawing almost every named character in the silmarillion (minus a bunch of Men characters bc i didnt have designs for them, as well as assorted minor elves like salgant or elenmire + the valar and most maiar cuz im still redesigning them) 😙

been really busy these past months but i worked on this on and off in-between (you can see a process gif here!!). since ive got a bit of free time for now, ill try to get back to being more active :D sorry for disappearing out of the blue again but happy almost half a year... wait wdym we're almost halfway through 2025 already...?!?!

>historically inaccurate hair isn't achilles literally "golden haired," though?

yep that's why I made him fair-haired! although my translation describes him as having "chestnut hair" which is interesting 🤔

but when I said "inaccurate" hair I was thinking of Athena, as I'm not sure what her hair color is actually supposed to be. I do like the image of her having striking auburn hair, so I drew her that way, but that's something I borrowed from epic the musical :P

I've been rereading The Iliad and there are so many good Moments. in book 1 Achilles tries to kill Agamemnon and Athena literally has to grab him by the hair to stop him

For Tolkien drawings, may I request Farmer and Mrs Maggot happily at home in the Shire?

Thanks for opening up requests, and I hope you have a lot of fun drawing, my friend! <3

thank you so much for your constant reblogs and support throughout these past years, my friend! I'm sorry this took so long, I hope you like it!

None of us have fully grown up. But every time our hearts felt growing pains, we all grew a little.

When Life Gives You Tangerines destroyed me, so here's a gouache painting of my beloveds ae-sun and gwan-sik

That ballet photo always reminds me of Eärendil and Elwing, particularly of their reunion aboard his ship after the Kinslaying...
