Mightier than Estë is Nienna, sister of the Fëanturi; she dwells alone. She is acquainted with grief, and mourns for every wound that Arda has suffered in the marring of Melkor. So great was her sorrow, as the Music unfolded, that her song turned to lamentation long before its end, and the sound of mourning was woven into the themes of the World before it began. But she does not weep for herself; and those who hearken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope. Her halls are west of West, upon the borders of the world; and she comes seldom to the city of Valimar where all is glad. She goes rather to the halls of Mandos, which are near to her own; and all those who wait in Mandos cry to her, for she brings strength to the spirit and turns sorrow to wisdom.

In dancing she delights, and she dances in Valimar on lawns of never-fading green.
IN LIEU OF ANY ORIGINAL CONTENT, HAVE SOME SAURON AND MELKOR PIXEL DRAGONS???? *sob*
Anonymous said: Halls of Mandos in 9?
(Before you get all “hey mary you seem like you know how to design architecture” lemme say that I definitely used a reference picture oh god)
I usually envision the Halls of Mandos as very dark BUT this palette lent itself more to something lighter. This took me a lot longer than the others so far – architecture is so tedious to draw. You can’t just make it up like hills or trees. In any case, I’m pretty pleased with it and it was good practice. Thanks for the request!
VALAQUENTA ALL-STARS ↭ OSSË
…for the delight in violence has never wholly departed from him, and at times he will rage in his willfulness without any command from Ulmo his lord. Therefore those who dwell by the sea or go up in ships may love him, but they do not trust him.
TURIN TURAMBAR/THE CHILDREN OF HURIN PLAYLIST: LISTEN
beguilingblackness has brought to my attention that on 8tracks the playlist shuffles the tracks after the first playthrough TuT So they asked for an order of the tracks for the playlist I made (and the list on the original post is hard to read).
So here’s the songs in their order as well as which event they’re associated with in Children of Hurin/Turin Turambar.
Edit: (typo) Santa Esmeralda for 1st track on 2nd image

bitty nessa and nienna
OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH A+ NESSA ;w; ohmgsh i also headcanon her as being a sort of satyr <3<3<3 DEER LEG FRIENDS ❤ <3<3
High Current/Amps through metal
Any metal that can conduct low voltage / high amperage electricity acts as a resistor between two electrode wires (as in the case above), which are made out of copper, which has a better conductivity than iron/steel which heats up due to the extreme electrical resistance.
Copper (Cu):
- Resistivity: ρ(Ω·m) at 20ºC = 1.68×10−8
- Conductivity: σ (S/m) at 20ºC = 5.96×107
- Temp. Coefficient: 0.003862 (K−1)
Iron (Fe): (although what you see in the gif is steel, iron comes pretty close)
- Resistivity: ρ(Ω m) at 20ºC = 1.00×10−7
- Conductivity: σ (S/m) at 20ºC = 1.00×107
- Temp. Coefficient: 0.005 (K−1)

Commission for maire-annatari: The Last You Will Feel With That Hand— RivkaZ 2015
Well, this interrogation session with the Fëanorian prince has gone horribly wrong! But Lady Mairë (a feminine incarnation of Sauron) doesn’t mind very much given the circumstances. Breathing is optional for maiar, and the prisoner is rather fetching. She seems to be quite enjoying herself, actually…
SO MUCH RED HEAD IN ONE PICTURE
Tender Parts Compilation– RivkaZ 2015
Despite my best intentions for sparing the unwary, it appears that putting images behind a modesty cut forcibly resizes them.
So you can EITHER have a modesty cut, or you can have full resolution images. BLAME TUMBLR NOT ME. ;W;
So busy i haven’t really posted art :’< Here’s some stuff I recently worked on~
– Ingwê: High King of the Elves and King of the Vanyar
The following sketches is one elf drawn and colored the way they would look in each kindred/clan of the elves. If you’ve been following my Silmarillion work you know that each of the kindreds is made of multiple races. For example in this pic: Glorfindel looks of asian descent and Ecthelion black but they are both considered Noldor in their world. The same can be found in any of the elf clans. The clans are seperated by physical and cultural differences I’ve designed for them that are not the same in our world. I wanted to show the racial diversity in each clan but I don’t have time because of a deadline for the book so I had to draw how one person would look in each clan instead of multiple. 😥
– The physical differences I’ve made for the three kindreds are:
Vanyar and Noldor are pretty much the same in body build and silmilar to the race of men (besides of course being taller in most cases). Vanyar however have naturally elongated heads and ears, their skin and hair are shades of gold (they literally shine like golden minerals), and their eyes are blue where they should be white.
Noldor look the most similar to humans the only difference is their ear shape (which is short, wide and more round than the others).
The Teleri come in different shades based off their faction, but in general their bodies are long (especially their necks) giving them a more “alien-like” look making them more lithe than the Noldor and Vanyar, and their ears are more pointed than the Noldor and curve in at the middle like a bat shape. The Falmari and Sindar skin colors are in bluish/gray tones, same for their hair but it also comes in white. The green and wood elves skin and hair tones are more human than the rest of the Teleri.
I’m not done with the Avari/dark elves yet so that’s why its not up there. But their design as far as their bodies goes is a mix of Teleri and Noldor but their eyes have a larger iris and a larger pupil for seeing in the dark.
I just want to rub this post all over my body (/o̧ wo̧ )/
