I'm so freaking proud! I finally got into brush making, and built my own watercolour set for Procreate. I didn't get much sleep in the last three weeks, haha. Now I have absolutely everything I need to create all these. =D (Which absolutely doesn't mean I won't make new brushes at the drop of a hat; that stuff is addictive...)
It's available in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/de-en/listing/1551702249/jennys-watercolour-brush-set-40 And my 10€-Patrons get free access: https://www.patreon.com/jennydolfen/shop/jennys-watercolour-brush-set-for-8205?source=storefront

'Speak of neither to me!' said Andreth. 'I desire neither. I was young and I looked on his flame, and now I am old and lost. He was young and his flame leaped towards me, but he turned away, and he is young still. Do candles pity moths?' 'Or moths candles, when the wind blows them out?' said Finrod. 'Adaneth, I tell thee, Aikanar the Sharp-flame loved thee. For thy sake now he will never take the hand of any bride of his own kindred, but live alone to the end, remembering the morning in the hills of Dorthonion. " J.R.R.Tolkien, Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth, History of Middle Eart Vol. X, Morgoth's Ring

Turin Turambar «THE CURSED»
...Then Morgoth laughed...
'...upon all whom you love my thought shall weigh as a cloud of Doom, and it shall bring them down into darkness and despair. Wherever they go, evil shall arise. Whenever they speak, their words shall bring ill counsel. Whatsoever they do shall turn against them. They shall die without hope, cursing both life and death...'

🏵 Glorfindel and Asfaloth 🏵
Acrylic Paint on Canvas Panel
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Glorfindel was tall and straight; his hair was of shining gold, his face fair and young and fearless and full of joy; his eyes were bright and clean, and his voice like music; on his brow set wisdom, and in his hand was strength." JRR Tolkien
I finally got to paint one of my most favorite characters ever from The Silmarillion and LOTR books! Also, I couldn't help but add his horse Asfaloth in the Canvas. I've always wanted to try painting a horse 🐎

By the starlit mere of Cuiviénen, Water of Awakening, [the elves] rose from the sleep of Ilúvatar; and while they dwelt yet silent by Cuiviénen their eyes beheld first of all things the stars of heaven.

@lotr20 Day 5 (15th Dec): loss | sacrifice | despair
"DARK TALES OF HORROR" The causes of the problems lie much deeper  than just the Lord of The Rings story. We see the result. We see only one side of a coin. Here's another one, which refers to the deeds of the Second Age but persists until the fall of Dark Lord Sauron, which we witness in LOTR books and movies. Here're some quotes I find relatable to the topic overall, in case you're interested ❤
"I dislike the use of 'political' in such a context; it seems to me false. It seems clear to me that Frodo's duty was 'humane' not political. He naturally thought first of the Shire, since his roots were there, but the quest had as its object not the preserving of this or that polity, such as the half republic half aristocracy of the Shire, but the liberation from an evil tyranny of all the 'humane'* – including those, such as 'easterlings' and Haradrim, that were still servants of the tyranny. Denethor was tainted with mere politics: hence his failure, and his mistrust of Faramir. It had become for him a prime motive to preserve the polity of Gondor, as it was, against another potentate, who had made himself stronger and was to be feared and opposed for that reason rather than because he was ruthless and wicked. Denethor despised lesser men, and one may be sure did not distinguish between orcs and the allies of Mordor. If he had survived as victor, even without use of the Ring, he would have taken a long stride towards becoming himself a tyrant, and the terms and treatment he accorded to the deluded peoples of east and south would have been cruel and vengeful. He had become a 'political' leader: sc. Gondor against the rest."  – letter 183 | Notes on W. H. Auden's review of The Return of the King Art quote:
"The Númenóreans carry their evil also to Middle-earth and there become cruel and wicked lords of necromancy, slaying and tormenting men; and the old legends are overlaid with dark tales of horror." Letter 131

It’s been a while since I’ve drawn a character from Middle-earth, and it took me a while to finish this one, but finally I tackled something I wanted to draw for quite some time: my favourite character, Fingolfin before his fateful decision to challenge Morgoth to a duel - which is my favourite scene from the Silmarillion with one of my favourite quotes.
“Thus he came alone to Angband’s gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth to single combat. And Morgoth came.”
That “And Morgoth came” is so simple yet so powerful because it just emanates the doom that follows.
I originally wanted to draw that scene but then I found a reference image of a kneeling knight so it turned out the silent moment of contemplation before the doom: “Then Fingolfin beheld (as it seemed to him) the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses…”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
