They are all pencil on paper except for the Silmarillion characters, which have been partially coloured and fully inked.
I am going to mail you the original. Being the originals not initially intended for sale, there may be traces of my passage, some “imperfections”, or a curious pagination. If you ask me for a specific drawing suited to your deepest and darkest desires, I’ll make sure to draw something cleaner and of higher quality for you.
Since they are simple sketches not drawn on quality paper, it’s only fair that I charge you only for the time spent drawing and not for the materials.
Payment is upfront and through paypal. Send me an ask, first come first served guys.
Of course you have to be comfortable with giving me your address. For, well, the shipping part of the deal.
If you are dying for a specific character who isn’t among these, you can send me an ask about it. In that case I canuse better paper, but the price may be a little higher. I will draw characters from The Silmarillion, Dragon Age, real historical people, and I’ll consider characters from other fandoms (always with reservations). Only portraits and busts for now.
Characters and prices from top to bottom:
1) Loghain Mac Tir, from Dragon Age, 25€
2) Julius Caesar, 20€
3) Cicero, 25€
4) Robespierre and Saint-Just, 30€
5) Alexander Hamilton, 25€
6) Marie Antoinette, 30€
7) Set of revolutionaries (Robespierre, George Couthon, Marat, Danton), 35€
8) Amras, from The Silmarillion, 30€
9) Celegorm (as Snow White), from The Silmarillion, 30€
“After 13 years I did it once more. I am not really satisfied with the result and it was not easy to draw… But hope that in 13 years I will draw it much more like the picture inside my head.”
Pretty sure he was called Findel and everyone just kept whispering ‘glorious’ in a hushed voice of awe and amazement because of his hair, and so his name eventually became Glorfindel
A simple flyer for Finrod Felagund’s construction service in First Age Middle-Earth! Warning: Spoilers here for both Beren and Luthien’s story and a few slight spoilers for The Children of Hurin.
Was it you ‘mid the fire and the ember? Were you there to bedevil and beguile? See, your face wasn’t quite as I remember But I know that wicked shape to your smile
Disclaimer: Here is a blend of Original Tolkien creations (aka my best efforts at recreating the author’s drawing), modifications on the original, and designs completely from cloth.
For my favorite set of Finwions, making sigils for them was a royal pain. Suffice to say, my difficulties with designing and crafting these sigils mean I’m not as happy with the end result as some of the other endeavors. Still, they work well for my purposes.
The color scheme for the offspring of Finarfin take their cues from the only Tolkien Original for any of them that I have to work with: Finrod Felagund’s sigil, made after he discovered the Edain, and obviously something constructed by humans instead of elves.
I have a really open policy, a holdover from my days as a Sims 2 custom content creator and because I’m not insane enough to think I can control what happens and where my art ends up after posting online. However I do ask for the courtesy of a link back to the original post or even a quick ‘sigil/design from heget/squirrelwranger’. I know it’s only a courtesy, but I hope for that small level of politeness.
Now, this is complicated by the fact that a few of my sigils aren’t my designs; the designs are created by Tolkien and I’m just recreating them. It’s still my effort to draw them out and match the colors and shapes, but the design isn’t mine. These few that are Tolkien’s originals I waive the request for a credit or link back. However the rest are my effort in both design and creation.
Still, for clarity, THESE are the Tolkien Originals:
Lúthien 01, Lúthien 02, Beren, House of Bëor, House of Hador, House of Haleth, Finwë, Fëanor, Fingolfin, Finarfin 01, Finarfin 02, Finrod-Nóm, Elwë Thingol, Melian, Idril, Gil-galad, Eärendil, Silmarils
All 112 other sigils that I have posted that you don’t see above were created by me. They aren’t canon. Yes, that means the vast majority of characters in The Silmarillion, both important to the plot and fan favorites, don’t have sigils. That’s why I started to design my own. These are the ones I’d appreciate a nod of credit somewhere if you chose to use them for your own purposes.
tl:dr :
Only 15% of these sigils are not my own design. Most aren’t canon.Please credit my work.

For the king of the Falmari, the Teleri of Aman, I limited my colors to a sub-palette from this set, which provides most of the trims and building details of my Valinorean houses. Thus the sandy neutrals and watery blues. Olwë has 16 points touching the edges, equal to Finwë. Though early attempts were more wave-like, the design I settled on evokes the compass rose and sand dollar. Eärwen uses the same color scheme, with eight rays reminiscent of Finarfin. The border along the circumference of her circle are a pattern of stylized water lotus and buds.
**Non-Canon Designs, obviously**
GOD BLESS YOU HEGET and bless you for doing the lord’s work here in the Silm vexillology fandom
I was going to draw Mélamírë reuniting with her father, but somewhere along the way eighties Celebrimbor showed up and I don’t even know what’s going on anymore.
Ooooh, there are her earrings, that benign little mithril ring, and the watchful Eye! Very cool!*
As for eighties Celebrimbor, he was a dark-haired post-doc with a Duran Duran style coif and brilliant blue eyes; we shared lab space back in my grad school days. :^)
And here’s my badly drawn cracktasitcal cartoon of Sauron after his extraction from that benign little ring on Mél’s forefinger: smokin’ cigars and knocking back shots of whisky with Bilbo whilst Olórin looks on:
Just in case you needed a reminder of how big wolves actually are… because sometimes when there’s no context for size, I tend to think of them as a lot smaller than they really are.
