Animatic of the English version of Luthien's Lullaby from the Lay of Leithian musical!

For now, it shall remain unfinished due to the program I was using constantly crashing and just... making it extremely stressful to continue work on it. I hope you are all able to more or less understand my sketches and enjoy it as it is. I had a lot of fun working on it so maybe someday, with a better animation program, I can try and finish it.

Thanks again to @sewn-with-lilies-fair for letting me use her commission of this song for my animatic.

Ko-Fi Youtube (It has other silm animatics)

As a holiday gift, I commissioned Aoife O'Dea to sing Luthien's Lullaby from the Lay of Leithian musical.

There couldn't be a more perfect fit- Aoife, who played Arwen in Watermill Theatre's Lord of the Rings musical last year, and Luthien, Arwen's elven ancestor, using the magic of song to send us off to sleep.

Dreams, on the wings of music hover...

Voice and harp- Aoife O'Dea Original music and lyrics- Skadi English lyrics- @nereb-and-dungalef, @quixoticanarchy, and @sewn-with-lilies-fair

Lyrics under the cut.

Day fades to night, Sunset hides its light ‘til dawn’s unveiling. Stars out of sight Shine over those whose strength is close to failing.

I sing before the lord of darkness, Minstrel in the halls that echo starless. Dreams on the wings of music hover- Sleep, bow your head to peaceful slumber. Sleep…

On gentle wings Mist turns the mountains sapphire as the ocean. Like waves I sing, And from the strands of fate my verse is woven.

Over the night the moon is sailing Onward, to the shores where sleep is waiting. Dreams on the wings of music hover- Wait, bow your head to peaceful slumber. Wait…

Fine threads of rain Upon your window weave a satin curtain. Lay down your pain, And let oblivion relieve your burden.

Hear how the restless wind is sighing- Quiet, for the storm has ceased its crying. Dreams on the wings of music hover- Hush, bow your head to peaceful slumber. Hush…

Here I am - A king without a country. Here I am - A remnant of war. Here I am - A prisoner of spring. Here I am - These words are true.

There is a number of various actors playing Celegorm and Curufin in Finrod rock opera, but these two Feanorian from Lay of Leithian are special while they're actually played by brothers. By twins in fact. I love this staging :)

They're also extremely funny lol. I think, they actually have that Ambarussa vibe...

I watched the stream of the Lay of Leithian rock opera hosted by @emeraldskulblaka and I’m foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog! Like it’s so intense and dramatic and shiny! (Morgoth is SO shiny it’s hilarious but he still manages to be that larger than life, menacing presence).

I don’t understand a single word of Russian but the singers were so good it didn’t matter and the subtitles were real good. And from the subtitles, they adapted the text from the Lay of Leithian pretty accurately, especially in the key scenes. The battle of Finrod and Sauron… the CHILLS! THE TEARS!

*screaming into my pillow*

Emerald Streams

Lay of Leithian

It's been a while since I last announced a stream more than one day in advance...! Two years ago, I streamed Finrod as part of this stream series, and now it's time for the second rock opera based on the tale of Beren and Lúthien!

From the unofficial website: Two different fates are woven together when Lúthien, an elven princess, falls in love with Beren, a hero of mortal men. To win her hand, Beren is sent on an impossible quest- to cut a legendary gem from the crown of the Dark Lord. So begins this battle between light and darkness, love and duty, in the most enduring tale of Middle Earth.

English, Russian, Finnish and Spanish subtitles available! This linktree contains links to the translation and is a fantastic resource.

When?

Friday, 12 January 2024

8pm CET / 7pm GMT / 2pm EST

room open from 7.50pm

Where?

I've been looking at Huan in Lay of Leithian rock opera and then I realised that wow. he looks very much like how people would usually picture/draw Oromë. and I think that's super neat

some pictures to prove my point:

(also my dude is wearing Turkish pants how cool is THAT)

beren is the ultimate wifeguy. he went on a suicide mission to steal a silmaril from the dark lord just to win his gf's hand. and he's losing the himbo poll??? are you KIDDING ME RN????

all boromir did was get corrupted by some cursed jewelry. that's not stupid. the ring literally uses your worst traits against you. boromir isn't even HALF the himbo that beren is. gondor wouldn't even have a king if beren didn't himbo as hard as he did.

VOTE FOR BEREN!!!

Lay of Leithian collage I just finished!

30in by 24in, photos glued onto canvas. Photos not my me but the arrangement is. I might add some swirly lines of glitter at some point, but I’m pretty happy with how it is now!
