HELLO THERE

THIS IS MY SIX THOUSANDATH POST THAT'S KIND WILD

@Through The Living Glass @Kajsa @Spark of Hope @Halcyon The Only @The Bookwyrm (tagging wyrmie cause a while back he told me he looked at my gallery images but those are all over a year old and I need to prove my stuff is marginally better now'a'days, I have honor to defend) 

+other people who didn't vote, but I don't want to randomly mass tag . . . love ya'll 

We'll start off the AP pieces I haven't shared yet (I have shared some wip's of these ones in the last few pages)

Spoiler

One I just finished:

hear me out, it looks better IRL . . . when we were looking at the photographs of it to chose the best photo I didn't pick the best one and that's on me.

It is pretty desaturated on purpose though, all of my other pieces have been super over-saturated, so I was trying to take it in the exact opposite direction with this one.

Ref:

Also, if you happen to recognize the location don't worry about it I don't live there, I was there on a trip so

Big boy painting I made for an art show that's happening rn (I get to hear the winners Friday, wish me luck)

Also those are my initials in the signature but I don't care you won't figure it out.

I already posted the ref and some wip pictures of this on the previous page, and I'm too lazy to go get them again so just click over.

This one is favorite, I don't remember if I posted the wip (I think I did . . .) but once again I'm too lazy to get the ref and it looks better without direct comparison so just look at it:

Isn't that nice.

(this one is also being sent down to competition and museum in the spring, along with the first one!)

Okay . . . other stuff

Guys I mostly draw Tolkien fanart so brace yourselves.

Spoiler

Colored pencil Maedhros, also known as THE HOT GINGER, from the Silmarillion:

Colored Pencil Makalaurë (AKA my beloved), also a little guy from the Silmarillion

Little Frodo doodles because we did a marathon of the trilogy and he's so me:

He's just a little guy

Young Celeborn and Galadriel dancing because they are becoming one of my favorite ships out of spite:

OC drawing that I like:

Oh, there's this study I did that looks pretty cool I guess, my realistic faces suck so I was doing skull stuff:

I don't actually have as much stuff as I thought I would, sorry about that guys  I have like 15 hobbies

- - -

why not include something extra and fun because of the special occasion 

Spoiler

This is a really old sketch/ fanart that I did YEARS ago in my math notebook . . . so it's not very technically good but

The idea was to do the pose from the framed picture in Botw (back when botw felt relevant)

This one:

But with some of the main Stormlight Archive characters because Sophmore me thought it'd be cute, (and I still think it's cute, even if it's very nerdy)

There they are:

Notice my notes on the side because I was planning on re-doing it as a colored illustration and I wanted to fix some things, but never got to it 

So we have:

Dalinor in the place of Daruk (Top right)

Jasnah in the place of Urbosa (Top left)

Kaladin in the place of Revali (Far left)

Shallan in the place of Zelda (Bottom middle)

Adolin in the place of Link (Middle right)

Renarin in the place of Mipha (Bottom right corner)

Maybe it's a little cringy, but I was so happy to find it again recently because it's so silly! 

As always thinks for reading guys!!!

Though at this rate I won't return to the thread before 7000 posts . . . maybe I should try a little harder to be consistent.

true. He is very well written and dare I say one of the few true “characters” in the book?

Wellll I disagree

because a lot A LOT of the characters in the book end up appearing in other books and works where they are fully fleshed out.

Turin has his own book, Beren and luthien have their own book, Numenor and it's characters has it's own book, Gondolin and it's characters has it's own book, etc.

So yes, some of the characters in the Silmarillion end up being more like historical figures then characters but a good deal of the important people have their own story because Tolkien wrote more stuff about them. 

And I would argue that even the small characters in the Silmarillion that don't do much and don't appear anywhere else are still really good on most occasions.

My favorite Tolkien character is Maglor, and he really only appears in the Silmarillion, and has a small role there too. But Tolkien is still able to make him interesting and engaging, giving hints to his personality and ideologies without actually sitting down and telling his story.

Or Nerdanel, who is another very interesting character who plays a very small role.
