Matryoshkha-inspired art for the SWG Meet & Greet Challenge

Doors of Durin, Celebrimbor, and Narvi. This was inspired by the collaborative nature of the challenge and was used as the banner art.

Ink and watercolor on paper.

 Eol, Aredhel, and Maeglin (and his pet mole).  This was for the International Fanworks stamp.

Ink and watercolor on paper.

To fit the Meet & Greet challenge, I picked some famous "meetings" out of the Silmarillion to depict. These were for the creator and comment stamps

In order of largest to smallest: 

Thingol and Melian meeting in Nan Elmoth Finrod finding the Beorians and playing to them as they slept Oromë finding the awakened Elves at Cuivienen Beren seeing Luthien dancing in Doriath

Away From All Danger

He sailed 'cross Belegaer To find Valinor The blessèd Eärendil Stepped foot on the shore To plead with the Valar To muster their might And aid Middle-earth In their terrible fight Their course was debated A choice they must make Of Eldar or Mortal Which fate would they take They set Vingilot With the Silmaril on high The blessèd Eärendil To e'er sail the sky

Yule Love It

I saw daddy kissing Felagund Underneath the mistletoe last night...

(If you want just a Finrod in his beloved ugly Edain sweater he's under the cut)

O Feanor, O Feanor

O, Feanor O, Feanor Most mighty of Eldar For oath he swore Is exiled by the Valar Came to Alqualonde Elwe to entreat Ships to give him passage For vengeance to mete

Kinslaying, betraying To evil shall all your ways turn Fate shall entomb by the Noldorin Doom By your spirit your body shall burn And one by one, you are joined by your sons For your bodies your spirits shall yearn

My Favorite Things

Melian’s singing and tree branches swaying, Luthien dancing to Daeron’s fair playing, Menegroth’s caverns, Esgalduin’s springs, These are a few of my favorite things.

Meeting new kin on diplomacy missions, Setting impossible marriage conditions, Keeping the gem he surprisingly brings, These are a few of my favorite things.

Was too reckless With the necklace, Now the Dwarves are mad; I just like acquiring favorite things, How did this turn out so bad?

Sulking In A Winter Hinterland

Oh the weather outside is frightful And I'm feeling rather spiteful Staring north at our foe Full of woe, full of woe, full of woe
