King of Assholery/Badassery. The Concept Art for my animation movie.
“‘Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean,
brood of Morgoth or bright Vala,
Elda or Maia or Aftercomer,
Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth,
neither law, nor love, nor league of swords,
dread nor danger, not Doom itself,
shall defend him from Fëanor, and Fëanor’s kin,
whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh,
finding keepeth or afar casteth
a Silmaril. This swear we all:
death we will deal him ere Day’s ending,
woe unto world’s end! Our word hear thou,
Eru Allfather! To the everlasting
Darkness doom us if our deed faileth.
On the holy mountain hear in witness
and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda!‘”
Fighting a mild form of art block with something quick and dirty, aka Findarato crossing the ice (He hasn’t got a hat or a hood, I hear you cry. You would be right, please suspend your disbelief for the sake of DRAMA and hair snapping in the wind.
The crossing is a theme that I find deeply interesting, and I hadn’t painted Finrod before, so here we go <:
Robert Sijka photographs Maine Coon cats and makes them look like majestic mythical beasts
The man who takes these glorious photos is Robert Sijka.
“My passions are cats and photography, I do my best to combine these two things as well as possible,” he shares on his website.
Oh, he did an excellent job. Each of these cats I would follow to the
end of the world. I would battle dragons and go on dangerous quests
against mythical monsters… if these cats told me to do so. They’re…
magical.
Jökulsá á Fjöllum (glacial river in the mountains in translation). This caused explosions and chaotic flooding which formed canyons, rock formations of diverse shapes and sizes (even structures similar to a honeycomb), and
basalt columns
twisted and angled in every direction.
I
felt like I was on another planet
while seeing all of this in Hljóðaklettar, rock of echoes. Formed when the Jökulsá River heavily eroded volcanic craters, the rocks left behind have acoustics which can alter the river’s sound, depending on where you’re standing. Hence the name. Hljóðaklettar is in the northernmost part of Vatnajökull National Park. Vatnajökull, located near the subglacial volcano Bárdarbunga, is Europe’s largest glacier outside the arctic and the source of the previously mentioned river.
