I have waited too long — Morwen.
The Myth.
This one was created as the last artwork of 2023.
More of a mythical/symbolic imagery than a realistic illustration.

Morwen - Silmarillion Extravaganza
She may not have actually been an elven witch, but appearances can work in your favour, right? ^^

You know what LotR expansion I actually would want to see? The story of that mom from Rohan who sends her kids off on the horse making her way back to them by going full Sarah Connor on those orcs.

This is for couples who have an in-text interaction... Because I know there's others that we love but it's all in our heads like Eomer and Lothiriel. I'm also not including the Valar because that's just a whole different cup of tea
You can pick based on books or films or a bit of both. Whatever moves you but I would LOVE it if you put which in the tags

Many a man of arms misreads patience and quiet. She did much good among us at much cost. Her heart was not faint, and patience will break at the last.
They dared not touch her, though, for they feared her; proud and fair as a queen, before sorrow marred her. Witchwife they called her, and shunned her. Witchwife: it is but “elf-friend” in the new language.
In truth little fear was seen in her face or her bearing. Tall and strong she seemed; for of great stature were those of Hador’s house, and thus clad in Elvish raiment she matched well with the guards.
Aerin, Morwen, Nienor

Been thinking about Morwen’s line to Túrin “if you wail, other things will find you first”, said to him when he starts to cry before his departure to Doriath
It’s harsh certainly and it’s also undeniably true.
I am thinking, Morwen definitely heard this herself, as a child fleeing the Bragollach with other Bëorian children. Perhaps she even witnessed this statement come true, the cries of her younger kin attracting the attention of enemies or even simply of wild animals.
I think Morwen at her age, eleven or twelve, might have been among the oldest children and more capable than some of the elderly, many of whom I believe died on the road to Brethil. Of the burdens that might have been placed upon this newly orphaned, possibly injured child; to gather materials and other chores she would have been used to, but also to keep watch, to keep children quiet, to dig their graves… all without tears.
I have been thinking a lot lately too about how a lot of her later approach to things could have been influenced by Emeldir…very interested in them having an incredibly complicated, almost contentious relationship; a mutually respectful one, For the most part and she’s learned so much from her but Emeldir absolutely knows that she’s potentially causing a lot of damage to young Morwen and also that she doesn’t really have a choice because the alternative is worse. And Morwen’s awareness (or lack thereof, especially in the beginning) of whether it was damage further complicates things
Anyways I love Morwen very much

WIP sketch for Morwen
Very much leaning into the 'dark maiden' vibes of her name
