Eowyn, 04.2024

Experimenting with a new medium! Ink! It's a quick study of light. I'm rather busy, so it isn't my usual post, I know. I hope you like it still.

The second family has enough funds, but the first one still needs help!

Who here would like to join me in saying

"FUCK ISRAEL"?

UPDATE AS OF 2024-04-17: I did not expect this post of mine to get so much attention so quickly. Indeed, this post is my first post that has gotten over a thousand notes. This said, a couple of people have asked me to repost GoFundMes they have to try and get their relatives out of Gaza. Therefore, I would like to highlight to you all the two GoFundMes in question:

The first comes from @abuomar95, and the second comes from @doniatanani.

It puzzles me when people cite LOTR as the standard of “simple” or “predictable” or “black and white” fantasy. Because in my copy, the hero fails. Frodo chooses the Ring, and it’s only Gollum’s own desperation for it that inadvertently saves the day. The fate of the world, this whole blood-soaked war, all the millennia-old machinations of elves and gods, comes down to two addicts squabbling over their Precious, and that is precisely and powerfully Tolkien’s point. 

And then the hero goes home, and finds home a smoking desolation, his neighbors turned on one another, that secondary villain no one finished off having destroyed Frodo’s last oasis not even out of evil so much as spite, and then that villain dies pointlessly, and then his killer dies pointlessly. The hero is left not with a cathartic homecoming, the story come full circle in another party; he is left to pick up the pieces of what was and what shall never be again. 

And it’s not enough. The hero cannot heal, and so departs for the fabled western shores in what remains a blunt and bracing metaphor for death (especially given his aged companions). When Sam tells his family, “Well, I’m back” at the very end, it is an earned triumph, but the very fact that someone making it back qualifies as a triumph tells you what kind of story this is: one that is too honest to allow its characters to claim a clean victory over entropy, let alone evil. 

“I can’t recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass. I’m naked in the dark. There’s nothing–no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him with my waking eyes.”

So where’s this silly shallow hippie fever-dream I’ve heard so much about? It sounds like a much lesser story than the one that actually exists.

Lúthien and Artanis In the Gardens of Doriath

[electracution]

so many pointless arguments about which elf is the tallest, the most beautiful, etc, etc. it's simple.

the tallest elf is whichever elf Tolkien is talking about at the moment.

the most beautiful elf is always luthien and the second most beautiful elf is whoever tolkien is talking at the moment

Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!

Arwen, 04.2024.

I dislike this piece with a burning passion. But I have no clue when I'll post next (I'll be quite busy this week), so I'm posting what I have.

Anyway, enjoy! I love you all and hope you have a good day.

Cursing your dash with dark!Boromir

He overpowered Frodo at Amon Hen, claimed the Ring, and returned to Minas Tirith to raise an army against Mordor

He's so full of hubris he doesn't even draw his sword before he's killed and the Ring retaken by the enemy, WOMP WOMP

"Beautiful and terrible as the dawn;" on his return to Minas Tirith, here's how he appears to Faramir, who pieces together what his older brother has done with growing horror

Last bit of sanity before being totally consumed! NIGHT NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT, mwah! :-*

How much time do you spend on your portraits on average?

Hello!

Depends on which portraits haha. If you're asking about the traditional ones then I want to say something around 4 hours.

Digital takes more time, because it has to be precise. I also haven't done it in a long while, so the three recent ones took me longer than necessary. I want to say about 6 hours each. Which added up makes for a crazy number.

ARMY DREAMERS

I am aware the "trend" has long ago passed, but I've only just gotten around to it. Do not tell me it doesn't fit.

Here is a version with all of them together.

I haven't done digital in a while, but I've enjoyed it a lot, surprisingly. Thought I had to relearn a lot.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the finished artwork as much as I do 🩷
