lots of maiar drawings and concepts:

uinen and ossë are inspired by the portuguese man o’ war and the lion fish,

arien and tilion dance together before performing an eclipse,

another uinen, this time with a seahorse friend,

tilion’s hair changes color according to the moon phases,

and tilion sends shooting stars to arien as gifts

Hello all! An announcement: Ainur Week will be happening again this year! That’s right, another round of the fandom week dedicated to Tolkien’s Valar and Maiar. I can’t wait to see what y’all create this time. ✨

First of all, some housekeeping. Last year, Ainur Week was from September 1 to 9. When would you prefer it to take place this year? Please vote in the poll below. Thanks in advance!

Hello o/

Excuse me if i’ve asked this before, but will you be doing Ainur Week during the same date in 2024?

Hello there!

I will have to see if I am free those dates next year, but theoretically, yes! \o/ I loved hosting Ainur Week and would like to do it again!

In the meantime, if you ever want any Ainur-themed art reblogged, feel free to tag @ainurweek!

On this day, September 18, Gandalf escaped the Tower of Orthanc by diving onto the back of Gwaihir the eagle. 🧙‍♂️🦅 Take that, Saruman! There is only one lord of the ring, and it ain’t you!!

happy ainur week! i decided to focus on making designs for the valar, so here's varda and manwë!

couldn't decide which versions of them i liked best, so i added some transparent pngs and different backgrounds (and a clip studio paint ramble) under the cut :)

they look cool against the black background imo! i like how varda kind of ~blends in~ kind of like the sky i guess :)

also fun fact! i only used 8 colors for each of them! clip studio paint has these amazing watercolor features that let me achieve all these funky effects like the neon-y blues on varda and the warm tone in manwë's wings :)

@ainurweek Day 9

◄••◈••►

Melkor, Mairon, Chaos, Corruption, Redemption

It would’ve been Melkor’s job to be the forest fire that cleared out the old and made space for new saplings. Yavanna never really forgave him for making it her job instead.

Mairon and Melian are siblings, being popped into existence pretty close by.

Melian got so much shit from her brother when she married Elwë (which she doesn’t heed ofc, when ur brother is the Lieutenant of Melkor, you tend to have centuries worth of comebacks.)

Mairon gets so much shit from Melian for getting soft for Celebrimbor

Melkor doesn’t understand how budgeting and finaces work and at this point he is too embarrassed to ask

Mairon does Melkor’s taxes, and in every universe, knows his bank account details.

There is a universe where Mairon lets himself be redeemed. In all honesty it’s just him creating and destroying according to Celebrimbor’s will and Eregion’s benefit instead of Melkor’s will and Angband’s benefit but, does it really matter if he’s regretful or not? (Elrond will say yes, but Elrond has little moral superiority with his “repented” feanorians willing to behead gil-galad for him. Annatar doesn’t worry about it).

Melkor met something in the void. It had no eyes, nor any teeth. It was not stout as Ungoliant nor as fluid as an Ainur. It simply was.

Melkor came back from the void worse than he was (Worse as in the tantrum isn’t just petulance anymore, but, the ainur are new to this world, how could they have known at that moment?)

Melkor is chaos and pain and the disease that spreads unapologetic and deathless. He is agony screamed and a restless fist. A thing done over and over again to the insanity of himself and all who gaze upon him.

Mairon is cruel and deceitful. A face ever turning, ever shifting from one to the next. He is something that will never stop, can never stop. Mairon is relentless, but he has always been so very sane.
