some time ago I drew Nienna, wanted to do some more so here’s Vairë!
Okay, this is super cool! I wish I could figure out what type of loom this is; a cursory googling hasn’t turned up anything yet.
So, I’m not going to lie, I know nothing about weaving and I’m ashamed to say I focused more on looking for clothing references rather than loom references. I wanted everything to fit within the picture, so these massive looms used for weaving were out of the question, I grabbed the first thing that fit, which, as it turns out, is used for making shoes! Well, Vaire has many talents.
It’s about time I did this! This is not complete by any means… My Melkor is a genderfulid shape changer so obviously there are many possibilities! But I tried to show the visual progression of Melkor up through the end of the First Age as I envision him.
Towards the end of the First Age, Melkor goes from being genderfluid to agenderand gives up on external expressions of gender altogether. At that point in time, changing his fana would have become not only more difficult, but the changes would be impermanent, and eventually it becomes impossible for him to change altogether. ;_;
Dagor Dagorath Melkor is what I picture him looking like after spending eternity in the Void. When he’s finally released into the world again, he’ll take on a form that I REALLY CAN’T DRAW for the same reason that I can’t draw the Great Old Ones. XD
