Happy 40th Anniversary, Silmarillion!
Today we are very pleased to announce the opening day of our Silmarillion40 compilation. Over the past couple months, about three dozen authors and artists have been busy creating more than eighty brand-new fanworks to celebrate the anniversary of our beloved Silmarillion. For the next forty days, we will unlock one or two fanworks per day and journey through The Silmarillion as told in fanworks.
Please check out today’s fanworks and, if you like what you see, consider leaving the artist or author a comment.
