[Nerdanel]

I wanted to render back muscles and finally settle on tattoo designs for Feener. 

I’ve given him Finwë’s heraldry, and also a device I invented for Miriel (based on a flax flower). The black knotwork is an Auldendur thing – you see similar tattoos on Dwarves in Middle Earth – and is awarded to students of Aulë when they achieve mastery in a craft. Mahtan, Nerdanel, and Curufin have similar tattoos (that are perhaps a little less… extensive…….. Fëanor stop getting PhDs). Celebrimbor gets pretty impressive knotwork in a slightly different style from the dwarves of Khazad-dum in the second age.

Momma’s study

A reject for @feanorianweek that I sadly didn’t finish in time… 😛

Everyone talks about all the skills the feanorians got from feanor, but I’ve never heard a single one of you mention maybe one of them being a sculptor.

Here’s my take on that idea: Nerdanel tried to teach every one of her kids, but she met varied levels of success; here are her most recent tries: Tyelcormo (who has decided he’d much better as a muse rather and the sculptor) and Carnistir (who is still confused which tool is supposed to do what)

Love this!
