“The people of Hador were of great strength and stature, ready in mind, bold and steadfast, quick to anger and to laughter, mighty among the Children of Ilúvatar in the youth of Mankind. Yellow-haired they were for the most part, and blue-eyed ( Read more... )

This is something I've wanted to draw since, according to the date of the reference I had saved, 2012. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be an entry for BMeM12, though I can't remember anything about the prompt. Still getting used to using a tablet u_u

Back in 2012 I drew hhimring's OC Emlinn for B2MeM. Almost five years later (!!!) I finally got a tablet, and what better way to learn how to use it than redoing old stuff? Since I was never really happy with how she turned out, I thought she'd be a great start.

Some day I'll learn how to colour. I'll need tons of tutorials for that :P

B2MeM07 Quote Challenge: Ezellohar - And as they watched, upon the mound there came forth two slender shoots; and silence was over all the world in that hour, nor was there any other sound save the chanting of Yavanna. Under her song the saplings grew and became fair and tail, and came to flower; and thus there awoke in the world the Two Trees of ( Read more... )

I never knew quite what to think of Eöl and Aredhel. On the one hand, it’s never explicitly said Aredhel wanted to marry Eöl so that’s a clear red flag in my opinion. On the other, it’s really hard for me to imagine Aredhel doing anything against her will. And if you think about it, they are very similar in some ways. Both of them desire freedom, ( Read more... )

What is it about Finrod and Turgon that they were the ones Ulmo chose? That’s my biggest question for this chapter. The only explanation I can come up with is that they didn’t originally desire to go back to Middle Earth (unlike Galadriel, for example). Maybe that meant they would they would give up more readily their new homes when the time came. ( Read more... )

There are people too self-centred to be good parents, and Fëanor belonged in that group. With his last breath he cursed not only Morgoth, but his sons too. When Fëanor made his oath, there’s no mention of him forcing his sons to take it too. From the narrative, it seems they did so willingly. But in this moment, he’s dying, and asking his sons to ( Read more... )
