Tolkien drew this design, incorporating Elvish lettering, on the back of an agenda for a meeting at Merton College, Oxford in 1957. It will be on display at the Bodleian’s Tolkien exhibition this summer. (source)

For 2,000 years, the Chinese have been using the iridescent blue feathers of kingfisher birds as an inlay for fine art objects and adornment, from hairpins, headdresses, and fans to panels and screens.
Sadly, I didn’t make both of these at the same time, so the editing and style is… visibly off. But this was hell to make…
@misbehavingmaiar Now that Eregion’s going to hell, there’s no need to maintain appearances, is there?
{ Aduial’s blades are called Colony and Chaos, they’re old blades for him and he once had them inscribed with this statement “I divide the people, I educate the people, I unite my kin under the banner of chaos.” }
Not sure how Luthien manages to resist a prince in a hat tbh

One of the tasks I set for myself this week was to finalize my designs not only for Aulë’s Great Forge, but for the two lamps, Illuin and Ormal. Their designs were crucial to have in place before I could complete the designs for the forge– since the main purpose of the Great Forge in my comic is to facilitate the building of the two lamps.
Interested in seeing a step-by-step process from rough concept to 3D model? This and tons more bonus art available at the $1 reward tier on my Patreon! 🙂

Melkor = CAPSLOCK CRUISE CONTROL
Sauron = Every Word Capitalized
Melkor is the kind of guy who looks like he’d stealth eat/chug ‘fish food'(sprinkles) and hoard them. “No time for real food Mairon I need a sugar high for this, Ancalagons going to be biiiiig.”
Melkor: *pounds six energy drinks, a liter of tequila and gasoline, and a pillowcase full of poprocks* HOLD DOWN THE FORT WHILE I’M GONE BABY, I’M GOING TO THE 12th DIMENSION TO FIGHT GOD
Sauron: very good sir
how to draw a crown:

WORKS FOR ME?
Osse // What The Water Gave Me
They took your loved ones but returned them in exchange for you
The sea silk was a treasue hidden in plain sight. Most of those who sailed these shore never noticed the gold hidden at the tideline, and no wonder. The jealous sea kept a weary watch over it’s trove, and only when sunset and shallows conspired would it be revealed to the watcher.
The harvest was dangerous, and only few were those who had the knowing and the heart to steal from the watery gods that which they guarded so closely.
Still, it was a thing worth doing, if nothing else to spin and robe oneself in the cloth of gods.
