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.

Spent the last two days working on this little archery guide in art and writing. Considering the rise in popularity of archers in pop culture this hopefully comes in handy for a bunch of fandoms.
Since odd or hilariously awkward archer poses show up a lot on this blog, I thought this might be a useful tutorial/reference post to pass on! :3
“Morgoth and the Silmarils”
Inspired by JRR Tolkien’s The Silmarillion.

But in the end it’s only a passing thing, this shadow; even darkness must pass.
Alan Lee – Illustrations from “The Mabinogion” – Medieval Welsh Tales:
«Peredur, son of Efrawg»
Then Luthien said to Celegorm, “Speak not to me or my 700 festive jackets ever again”
– a real quote from The Silmarillion
inspired by this rad afghanistan coat

Holy shit dude …. dude… this is so… so much. I can’t believe this is real– like, a real drawing you actually went and made in with physical materials. My god, it’s on Real Paper? I can’t even make words right now. It’s so fucking beautiful. This is by far the most beautiful and elaborate thing I think has ever been done for a thing I wrote, and this completely outclasses anything I’ve ever written or drawn by fucking miles… my dinky headcanon post is hardly deserving of this masterpiece; I feel like this should be in a Viennese gallery like the Beethoven Frieze, with gold leaf and stuff. I’m genuinely emotional right now, just… holy shit look at this………. look at the lyre, look at the waves… he’s got a shattered halo and the body of a broken god, I’m fucking speechless
