Organised some of the crafts/art of the recent local tolkien meetup & my group's activity was to design Middle-earth sigils for characters & groups that didnt yet have any

Here's my Elves of Mirkwood banner ^^ (specifically for the mirkwood, not greenwood time i guess)

#tolkien heraldry #tolkien sigil #so calming to draw #although prob too concrete for a true tolkien sigil #but eh it's for fun #and i like it #mirkwood #thranduil #tolkien #tolkien art #lord of the rings #the hobbit

Oh, brightest sun (TRSB 2023)

A hommage to Gustav Klimt's The Kiss. Acrylic paint on canvas, with gold acrylic colour, 45x45cm. This scene had fascinated me ever since I read about it in the Nature of Middle-earth, and even more so when I became obsessed with Mîm as a character. While the ship of Mîmrod was born in a discord server I am in as a joke, that joke led to me originally drafting the sketch for this painting.

@goschatewabn has taken up this prompt- in a pinchhit no less - and has written, a beautiful, beautiful, fic that also absolutely tears my heart out. Find more info & the link to the fic below!

The elf shone more brilliantly than the purest gems they had unearthed, and his kind face crowned with a wreath of white lilac was like the first rays of dawn after a long night.

The gentle sun had risen in the east, and had brought spring into Nargothrond.

The Prodigal Daughter (TRSB 2023)

Pencil drawing, digital colouring. Art #14 in the 2023 Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang. Below, find info & the link to the beautifully written exploration of the death of Thain Lalia Took, by my author LadyBrooke on Ao3. This "lost event" in the background of the Lord of the Rings has fascinated me for years now.

Pearl understood why they suspected her after Lalia's death. That didn't mean it wasn't painful to see the suspicion, even from her own family.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Archive Warning: Major Character Death Category: Gen Characters: Lalia Clayhanger Took, Pearl Took, Paladin Took II, Pippin Took, Background & Cameo Characters, Eglantine Banks Additional Tags: Canonical Character Death, Complicated Relationships, Trauma, Family, Rumors, embedded art, Mentions of Starvation, Discussion of the Fell Winter

a sigil for finrod ^^

#finrod felagund #finrod #listen the harp and torch one is fine but it doesnt fit tolkien heraldry at all #maybe it's a pictogram for finrod in an other context sure #but i honestly think his snake & flower imagery is too good to not use #silmarillion #tolkien heraldry #illustration #drawing #tolkien elves #tolkien fanart #silm art #snakes #snake

Prints, Stickers, a witchy 2023 calendar!

Was tabling at a local con and so I suddenly have a lot of physical versions of my art. If something suitably octoberish, a shiny print or a monthly illustrated calendar full of cute, mythical and ominous magyck for 2023 catches your fancy, you can find them at my Ko-Fi shop: https://ko-fi.com/kathrinheierli/shop

I think @tolkien-feels brought this up on the Silm rockopera server, rightly so, that Dior Eluchil should wear the New Look. Aaand I couldn't resist.
