This is a still life I have been working on in class for a while, and I am so happy with how it came out!

Our teacher said that the vegetables would get moldy at some point even if we kept them in a fridge, and then added, and I quote: "But that's alright! It's vanitas! Paint the vanitas too!"

I'm pretty sure I could have used the pretzel stick in the middle as a bludgeoning weapon to kill someone with by the end, and the fennel did get a bit slimy and brown at the ends and the bottom, but the apple on the left was still edible, after I had washed it thorougly, and I ate it to spite my horrified friends.

Also, I am never calling mold anything but vanitas ever again, this is amazing.

#art class #still life #vanitas #i had way too much fun with outlines and highlights by the way #my best friend had to pry the white pastel chalk from my hands by the end because I kept adding “just one more highlight” #also i gabe the fennel a butt on accident #:D #acrylic painting #semi realism

I just got these graded, and I have full points! I'm so happy!

I can't really post anything from my sketchbook because my teacher is grading it atm, but I can show you my classwork!

Which I didn't do in class.

Just so you know I can draw stuff besides elves, too.

I have nearly filled up an entire sketchbook in the past months and I haven't posted any of it whoops.

So have a redraw of sorts!

I am participating in Tolkientober (no I am not too late what are you talking about)!

There are obviously a lot of beginnings in Tolkiens universe, but I like this one so here you go.

#yes I gave the newly born elf lady stretch marks what about it #cuivienen #tolkientober 2023 #beginnings #elves #silmarillion #i'm not sure how much of the challenge I am actually going to do so #my art

These are the sketches I was talking about btw.

Also fun conversation I had with my mum about them:

Me: So can you name the characters?

My mum: Um. That's that elf lady.

Me: Mhm?

My mum: And that's that little dwarf.

Me: Yeah? Who's this? *points at Aragorn*

My mum: ...Maedhros?

So in conclusion, all I have to do is draw a character very disheveld and exhausted, and my mum will think he's Maedhros. That's fun to know.

So I'm sketching lotr characters, using screenshots as references, and I just noticed how fucking weird the elves look.

I am very much not a visual person, so I tend to not notice these kinds of things unless they're back to back, but like -

Take Eowyn, for example. She has freckles, her hair isn't tidy most of the time, she has eyebags, there's dirt in her face on the battlefield. She looks like a real person, is what I'm trying to say.

Galadriel? Airbrushed. It looks like someone deleted every single bit of asymnetry. No imperfections. Not one wrinkle. Every pore looks like it is sealed shut. (Does she have pores? Not important)

And I KNOW that they probably DID airbrush her, and I KNOW that she is probably wearing tons and tons of makeup, but in universe, this is fucking eerie, okay?? I love this.

#my art #lord of the rings #eowyn #aragorn #galadriel #gimli #i'm not that happy with galadriels eyes they make her look too young #and gimlis forehead is a little too big #but all in all I'm really proud of them! #also her circlet thingy isn't perfectly placed like I wanted #it to be #ballpointpen

"I'm going back for them because they are my parents. And if they noticed I was gone, I'm sure they would do the same for me. You know you're talking again?"

Melian and Thingol, 2 seconds into their 200 year long staring match.

#melian #thingol #maiar #sometimes you just gotta make eldritch women eldritch #also before thingol got his hair bleached #how did that happen by the way? #i read a really good fic where she needed a part of him to make herself a body #so she took his colours #which would make him an albino right? #maybe they build menegroth because he got really lightsensitive #my art #the silm #crayon art

Beren and Lúthien, but Lúthien is a really, really big woman.

Alright, so they're part of the 17% of female characters in Tolkiens works, they both crossdressed to go into battle of some sort, they both faced off against an ancient beast AND they both had depression? Screw the timeline, I think they should kiss!
