a while ago in june of last year i posted this sketch dump and received a very wonderful ask from @mochamai wherein the mysterious ghost hand to the left of maedhros was brought to attention..... i hv seized this opportunity to do these very self indulgent doodles of Melkor who (loathe as i am to admit it) is the individual that hand belongs to ππ
HEAR ME OUT OK. it was just supposed to be a random hand right. i had drawn it with normal nails and everything!!! BUT THEN. then. i was on pinterest browsing character design inspiration and i found the infamous stained dark claw hand (if you know you know) and i realised it was my one chance to actually incorporate it into my silm designs... then i considered who would fit it and all i could think of was post-silmaril morgoth.... and here we are :((((
anyways ive been kinda busy these past two months BUT i used this chance to squeeze in some anatomy practice so errrrr dont ask me why he's shirtless in most of these..... i will only speak in the presence of my attorney........
thank you again for taking the time to ask though!!!!! β€οΈβ€οΈ i really really do like your original interpretation of the hand (i'll post the original picture below if anyone is curious) belonging to Maedhros in Mandos-- especially since it kinda matches up lorewise doesnt it....!!! it means a lot that youd take the time to look at it in such detail waaaaa <3333 maybe some new mae doodles are in order to make up for it ππ soon!!!
^ the aforementioned hand dun dun dunnnn

honestly if those were the last words i ever heard before being turned into a pincushion stuck on a flagpole i wouldnt know whether to fingergun or turn into a vengeful spirit, shadow of mordor style
based on this fantastic meme ive been thinking nonstop about since i first saw it on sunday \(ΰ²₯γ
ΰ²₯)/
bonus: bbt-bbt-btt-btt-btttt-bt-bt translates to 'where are the three elven rings, tyelpe?'. source: trust me bro

i've been rerereading (again) @allthatglittersisnotgoldrush 's absolutely fantastic 1800s silm gold rush AU, and finally found some time between irl commitments to do some sketches for it after way too long π₯Ίβ€οΈ im sorry i cant do it the justice it deserves with proper art yet, but i hope to do a real big project for it soon!!!
reading this au reignited a love for old poetry and victorian aesthetics that i forgot i had jdssdb and their Maedhros?? hands down one of the BEST π i do hope the inaccuracy of my drawings might be forgivable!!
also!! i based gwindor and estrela off the amazing @arlenianchronicles designs of them, so i hope you don't mind me doodling them π₯° if not, do let me know immediately and i'd be more than willing to take em down!

hi!! would you mind if I took some inspiration from your Tar-Mairon design? I really love it and Iβll definitely credit you as a source of inspiration if I could make my ownβ but if you would rather I not I completely understand!!
thank you ^_^
hello hello!!!! Thatβs 1000% totally okay with me hehehβ feel free to go ham, go crazy! Iβm super honoured u liked my tar-mairon design enough to ask agshbshs π₯Ίππ»ππ» Iβd love nothing more than to see ur design too, when you draw him! as a wise Tolkien blogger once said, the more saurons the merrier amirite
didnβt have time to do a usual proper art piece to go along with the ask bc assignments, but I hope u donβt mind me quickly doodling a tiny ver of your 3rd age sauron cuz when I saw your design of him I fell in LOVE π₯Ίπ₯Ίπππ
