A headcanon Angbang shortcomic for Angbang Week 2023, day 1.
The Maiar wake up for the first time and meet their future masters...but someone sneaked into the timeless halls during the Ainulindale before Eru allowed it...
With his secret gift Melkor gave Mairon a free will. I hope you like it ❤️
The Maiar/Umaiar on this panel are, row behind (l to r): Eonwe and Lungorthin, row front: Aiwendil, Osse, Gothmog, Curumo
Turambar lamented, but carried on and with all his will climbed up the narrow to the dragon's position. Then he took his sword Gurthang and stabbed Glaurung's belly to the hilt. Crying in pain, the dragon crossed to the other cliff with the sword still embedded. He twisted in agony, falling in the ground. Turambar almost fainted, but with great strength he left the ravine and approached the dragon. Mocking the dragon, Turambar took back his sword, but a blood stream sprayed his hand, and he fell unconscious.
The lifeless body of Túrin was later found by his wife. “For at the cry of Níniel Glaurung stirred for the last time, and a quiver ran through all his body; and he opened his baleful eyes a silt, and the moon gleamed in them, as gasping he spoke: ‘Hail, Niënor, daughter of Húrin. We meet again ere we end. I give you joy that you have found your brother at last. And now you shall know him: a stabber in the dark, treacherous to foes, faithless to friends, and a curse unto his kin, Túrin son of Húrin! But the worst of all his deeds you shall feel in yourself.’
–J.R.R. Tolkien, The Children of Húrin.
“The Death of Glaurung”. The scene were Túrin have just brought an end to the evil of Glaurung, the father of dragons. Although, Glaurung had one last revelation..
“Are you telling me that Gil-galad was a trendsetter who started the long hair trend with the male elves from the second age onwards??”

“Yes”

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one upset by the fact that we don’t have androgynous male elves in the Rings of Power. But at least they followed Gil-galad’s lead and started to grow their hair out 😂😂😅😅
After three months of work, another painting, which I wanted to do especially for my stand at this year's Tolkien Days Germany, is finished now. Are you going to visit the Tolkien Days, too? If so, come visit me. I would be very happy about a chat. 😊
