[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Seven more! Hehehe 🕷🕸 Probably the last few from LOTR (if I'm not tempted to draw Ghân-buri-Ghân, I may be) but because I'm continuing this project till Easter I'll draw few guys from Hobbit and Silmarillion in the days left. Also, I’ve decided I'll be selling the originals after I finish all the drawings. But if there is any character you'd like to have in particular you can start reserving them now. By messaging me here or on [email protected] :^)

Shelob, Wormtongue and King of the Dead are left from this bunch!

The size of the drawings is A6 and prices from 50 to 80USD (shipping included). Also as last year with the dog drawings this year too - all the earnings will be sent to charities. Thank you! 🌿

Rest of the characters are here and here and here and here!

#WAKE UP BABES NEW RAREPAIR JUST DROPPED #none of you have any idea how many insane headcanons i have about shelob (and sauron in association) #in my head she's the daughter of morgoth and ungoliant—making her half-vala and half-void monster #justifying the ability to take on a more 'humanoid' form instead of a giant spider at will #and so basically sauron falls head over heels for his boss's daughter and her with her father's lieutenant #it's an incredibly intense and toxic relationship that is on and off over the years #rekindling tenfold in the second age when sauron returns to middle-earth and forges the one ring 😳 #tolkien #the silmarillion #silm #lord of the rings #lotr #headcanons #sauron #shelob #sauron x shelob #(what would their ship name be...saurlob? sheron???) #art #my art #merilles

Ar-Pharazon from the Reverse Gondolin AU and as Witch-King of Numenor - thanks to @who-needs-words for helping develop this idea!

#silm #silmarillion #second age #ar pharazon #reverse gondolin au #(well more like the aftermath of gondolin reversal) #this au has consumed my life #on the plus side inspiration for feanor is finally reemerging from under the metaphorical couch so i might get something finwion-y done soo #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa so much to draw so little time #seriously though golden nazgul is such a cool idea #whatever the mordor equivalent for the angband trio is (sauron pharazon and shelob maybe?) is going to look so cool in black and gold #black/gold black hole shelob!! #and prince elrond is super finwiony looking #also he has his wings & glowiness out a lot more so that'll be fun #but yeah basically in the au Prince Elrond realized via foresight what was happening/going to happen in numenor #so he went there and disowned ar pharazon (by extension removing him from the throne) and crowned tar miriel rightful Ruling Queen #then later when sauron showed up he came back kicked sauron out and outlawed the death cult #but between that time sauron secretly recruited ar pharazon by promising him kingship in exchange for his support #and anyways ar pharazon survived all the way to the TA as the Witch King #(mr. angmar here gets to be second in command of the nazgul sorry) #-imagine this guy showing up to be all 'bagginssss' though #the witch king of numenor is somehow even more dramatic #also the whole 'no living man can kill me' is. a bit different coming from a guy who has many enemies in the form of #a) his cousin the Ruling Queen of Numenor #b) his uncle the choice-of-elves-peredhel #c) a bunch of Faithful in the Halls #the dead guys aren't too much of a problem #but i wonder if he heard that prophecy and worried a whole lot more about the Ruling Queens #or Prince Elrond who in the au has very definitely embraced his maia-ness #and then imagine his surprise hearing 'but no living man am i' and it coming from. a random human lady.

Shelob, Spawn of Ungoliant, and Samwise the Brave

I really really liked her description and vibe in the books qwq Very Old, Very Sinister, Very Hungry

Frodo, confronted with Shelob: I wish my uncle didn’t raise me so well because this situation deserves a much worse swear than “Fiddlesticks”.

I wanted to experiment with adding illustrations to a written story and figuring out image hosting & everything. (https://postimg.cc/ - thanks to a Tumblr post) This one seemed like a good choice because it's not overly complicated, and it's not too weird, and it's short. Unfortunately I did have to draw Shelob.

Read it here! (Focus on Gollum & Shelob, Words: ~4,000, gen, I think it's canon compliant? Rated T for violence against orcses.)

And under the cut are all of the illustrations in case you want to see them but don't want to read that whole thing.

I kind of wanted to leave out the hyper-specific fanon where his pupils are randomly visible sometimes but couldn't get the expression I wanted with just blank eyes (you found it you found the real reason I do it at all) (IT IS A CHEAT)

#long post #blobart #tw blood #tw spiders #in two towers he is going to end up making sam and frodo uncomfortable by staring at them when they eat in exactly the same way #I tried I really tried but my art style is inherently cuddly and I think spiders are cute #This is not a very frightening shelob

you can all say what you want about shadow of mordor and shadow of war, but at least they had the courage to make annatar and celebrimbor's character designs appealing, unlike the cowards at am*zon. like, yeah, give celebrimbor a fancy little circlet and lovely hair jewelry!! give annatar the sculpted cheekbones and long, flowing locks that are befitting of a shampoo commercial...

don't make them old white men who wouldn't look out of place in every generic 'historical' film of the last decade; give them some style! make them recognizable and interesting to look at! and also make celebrimbor a twink, please and thank you!

#we'll ignore shelob for now #the games are not great for lore but they're kind of. fun. #and it's funny to watch talion get the Inside Info on tyelpe and annatar's relationship drama. like. my man is suffering #life.txt #lotr #tolkien #shadow of mordor #shadow of war #anti rop #celebrimbor #annatar #sauron #anyways #only real mutuals remember the shitposting from like 6 years ago about celebrimbor's voice lololololol

The Watermill Theatre production of the Lord of the Rings musical was spectacular, I have little else to add

“Union,” an update to “Touch the Darkness:”

Chapter Summary: the forging of Sauron’s Ring—the union of their Light and Power, where realities blend with dreams, where they find themselves where it should have all began. King and Queen on that raft. But their union does not go unnoticed by Shelob, who pursues her own ways of fortifying her power in the one way she knows best—glutting on all that Adar can give her.

Haladriel | Explicit | 3.4K chapter

CW: NSFW x2, Royal Raft sex™️, oaths being sworn, Making of The One, Shelob lusting after Adar, and hate sex

And there he was, her king, her husband, the father of their child just drinking in the vision of her before him.

His touch was pure adoration as he caressed her chin, the same hand, the same hold as he once used in this vision of his making. Golden green eyes scanned her face, the picture of devotion, of loyalty and obsession. Of love. “My queen,” he whispered, cautious, as if he did not wish to disturb so endearing a moment.

Galadriel smiled softly, the words floating to her lips, even as her eyes drifted to his mouth in anticipation of the kiss his lips promised. “And you,” she breathed, “my king.”

Mouth lifting up to meet his, she could wait no longer for his embrace. The meeting of Light and Dark. The union of their bodies and their magic. The waters rippled from the burst of power, the very earth at the floor of the Sea shuddering. His lips crushed hers, a surge of his power tingling through her body and filling her nose, her mouth with that thick and sweet scent of smoke. Hungry, empty, she wanted to be filled in every way. She drew his tongue inside her mouth, letting him devour her. She ran her hands over the thick black robes that hung from his body. She wanted them gone. Tearing into them, the fabric gave way so easily, his laughter tingling in her mouth as he eagerly repaid the same.

Only crowns atop their heads, the calm seas and bright sun sent sparkles of light dancing over their skin. “Galadriel of the Noldor,” his hands clung to hers, holding them between their naked bodies. “I give you my protection for you and our line, as long as my spirit burns, even if my bones should break and my breath should cease. I give you my oath to keep you safe…” those eyes began to glow, iridescent greens and ambers, as if he lit from within, “my precious.”

[sindar-princeling]

There agelong she had dwelt, an evil thing in spider-form, even such as once of old had lived in the Land of the Elves in the West that is now under the Sea, such as Beren fought in the Mountains of Terror in Doriath, and so came to Lúthien upon the green sward amid the hemlocks in the moonlight long ago. How Shelob came there, flying from ruin, no tale tells, for out of the Dark Years few tales have come. But still she was there, who was there before Sauron, and before the first stone of Barad-dûr; and she served none but herself, drinking the blood of Elves and Men, bloated and grown fat with endless brooding on her feasts, weaving webs of shadow; for all living things were her food, and her vomit darkness. Far and wide her lesser broods, bastards of the miserable mates, her own offspring, that she slew, spread from glen to glen, from the Ephel Dúath to the eastern hills, to Dol Guldur and the fastnesses of Mirkwood. But none could rival her, Shelob the Great, last child of Ungoliant to trouble the unhappy world.

god forbid women do anything 🙄

hi :) I saw in your tags you might draw boromir……..And uh. I’m just here to say I would absolutely looooooove to see your boromir 📯

well hooray! stay tuned, then - perhaps that'll be a reality sometime in the vague future!

#answers from the cupola #the last time I drew him must have been at least eight years ago if not more... #and even though I will be reunited with my old sketchbooks soon I certainly shan't be posting that! #...altho' a few redraws of my nicer stuff from way back when may be in order #I recall a fairly good android aragorn from the same sketchbook that could probably do with another attempt #as well as some scraps of that project where I set out to hand-draw a full set of playing cards on a lotr theme #I don't remember the full set I had planned but having been right between my 'scrungy fantasy men' and 'scary anglerfish women' phases #I recall there having been a shelob gijinka drawing which I was pretty darn pleased with at the time in addition to the various lads #...this has gotten significantly off track. hope you enjoyed hearing about the state of my art during my initial lotr-enjoyer phase? :]
