Decided to fight art block by finishing this drawing of young Elendil looking a bit bored in Andúnië. This has been sitting in the wip pile for the last three months! I'm obsessed with Elendil's early life in Númenor so I have a lot of these random moments waiting to be finished :D

All these gentlemen were drawn as part of the Gondolin Gang series for intea (my deep gratitude for this opportunity and inspiration ♥). Of course I will draw the remaining two, but now I want to show the finished ones 😃

I tried to draw different but stylistically similar and simple outfits, hairstyles and faces, so that one could believe that they live at the same time and in the same place, being in an everyday (medieval) environment - most of them had small bags for small things and clothes whose fit is regulated by a belt and not by patterns.

Egalmot got the most complex background - there's a cat there, did you see it? 🐈

Who do you like the most and who has the coolest handbag? 🙂👀

"Hail Eärendil, bearer of light before the Sun and Moon! Splendour of the Children of the Earth, star in the darkness, jewel in the sunset, radiant in the morning!"

(The Silmarillion, "Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath”)

_________

My idea for this painting is again to experiment with a traditional-looking style :)

Forgot to add the Silmaril in his forehead in the sketch and decided to go on without it because a) I hate to plan lighting b) I still have no settled opinion on what a silmaril looks like.

I usually associate Eärendil with cool colors (muted blues, grays,silver, and white), so here I tried to break a little from my own perception of the character and went for a mostly golden version of him; the cobalt blue is one of my favorite colors, but I find it really hard to combine with other colors because it's very saturated so I used a vibrant orange in the background to balance the whole thing. Like I said, I meant for this to be an idealized portrayal of him (I made something that I think would fit a numenorean palace hall because I can't stop thinking about Númenor); I think the real Eärendil would look much more disheveled and frightened when he arrived in Valinor

An Elendil portrait!

My idea was to make a traditional-style portrait of young Elendil commissioned by his father to show off honor his heir.

I was DYING to use craquelure textures so I'm pretty happy with the result :)

(I was mostly inspired by the stone statues his ship passes by when entering Númenor in TROP ep 3)

"The mightiest of those Ainur who came into the World was in his beginning Melkor; but Manwë is dearest to Ilúvatar and understands most clearly his purposes. He was appointed to be, in the fullness of time, the first of all Kings: lord of the realm of Arda and ruler of all that dwell therein. In Arda his delight is in the winds and the clouds, and in all the regions of the air, from the heights to the depths, from the utmost borders of the Veil of Arda to the breezes that blow in the grass. Súlimo he is surnamed, Lord of the Breath of Arda. All swift birds, strong of wing, he loves, and they come and go at his bidding."

(Valaquenta, The Silmarillion)

Manwë! My headcanon is that he takes on the colors of the sky during the day so he always looks different. This is his golden hour look, looking down from Taniquetil :)

I was planning to finish this in time to honor father's day (here in Brazil) a few weeks ago, but life and a nervous breakdown got in the way, so here it is, my baby with his baby Elrond and baby Arwen! *.*

(Because I like to suffer, I chose to add Eärendil's light shining down on them because I wanted to convey Elrond's sadness for feeling so distant from his own father even though he's always present T.T)

"He has dwelt in the West since the days of dawn, and I have dwelt with him years uncounted; for ere the fall of Nargothrond or Gondolin I passed over the mountains, and together through ages of the world we have fought the long defeat." (FoTR, book I)

Caranthir *.*

I've been trying to define a design for Caranthir and it ended up looking like a mugshot (which is fitting btw)
