Our costumes for Night of the Milker Cookies!

@cenobitesquid​ is my resident costumer so you can blame him for all crowns, pauldrons, pelts, capes, silmarils, etcs. 🙂 I just did my makeup.  He went as his Sauron and I went as Glacial-Sea-Ice Melkor, I guess? …The most Melkor I could do while still being teal. >w>;

SILM+ COOKIE PARTY RESULTS, BEHOLD! our bountiful harvest
(Images look better in click view, i don’t have time to fight with image finickiness to make them look good, i started off on the wrong foot by taking landscape photos & now im tired, may try nicer images later)

thank you god for these captions

“FRIEND. IN” was meant to be “~speak friend and enter~” BUT with the foreknowledge that I May Not Be Good At Icing*, I wisely shortened it to something that would be legible when written in Mystery Sugar Goo.

 HOWEVEr: I fully forgot what the hell the Doors of Durin look like and WAS I GOING TO LOOK AT REFERENCE? I ? ME? THE MIGHTY ARISING?? No. So I scribbled the wrong tree in the middle of a brick with a star in the wrong place and also failed to render any text whatsoever BUT: “FRIEND. IN” remains fondly in my heart.

(*I Am Not Good At Icing, studies confirm)

Milker Cookies

ALright so we just got back from the Milker Cookies party with @fidelishaereticus @nonillions @cenobitesquid @thisbackworld and myself and boy howdy it was wild. Please allow me to show you the good work i’ve done this night:

This was only the third or forth most offensive Silmarillion cookie made this evening. Please let that sink in.

Here is Salgant’s sigil for the House of the Harp. 

 Is it very good? No. 

Am I proud of myself? Also no.

This one started out as one of those goofy illustrations of the dwarves with pointy red hats, but after careful consideration I am retitling it “The Flight of the Gnomes” and I hope it will be destroyed as soon as humanly possible

Here’s Laurelin, and actually, this one came out okay. I’m okay with this. Also I ate it, so that makes me Ungoliant.

This is for @crocordile. It’s Melian, but shes got HUGE boobs. I mean some SERIOUS honkers, a real set of badonkers. Some dobonhonkeros. Massive dohoonkabhankoloos. Big ol’ tonhongerekoogers. 

fidelishaereticus:

will make cookie master post tomorrow, but for now, have a soft pastel Milker to bless your blog (he wept spontaneously. one single tear. for all of us)

Forging Arda– Rivka Nipper 2013

Once upon a time (last winter during the holidays) I sat down to re-read the Silmarillion, and that night I had a dream about the origins of Sauron/Mairon the Maiar, and his time spent in the service of Aulë the Smith. I decided to work some of that dream material into a comic.

I finished the first draft of these pages a month ago, but then I decided that the pages needed to be retouched and re-lettered before I posted them all together (I was learning and making things up as I went along, and the difference in style from the beginning of the comic to the end was pretty severe). 

So here, at last, are the finalized pages, hand-lettered, in all their painstaking, flawed, and glorious detail. It’s been a hell of a ride! Now all I have to do is tell the rest of the story…. *wobble*. 

 Enjoy!

Update Feb 2014:  If you look carefully you’ll notice I’ve made some edits for character continuity, typo-correction, and awful-inexcusible-messy-word-bubble surgery. I also took out the tengwar inscription on the forge because it had no business being there in the first place.
