“And I don’t mean to.”
Turgon, King of Gondolin- High King of the Noldor (Or, one of them anyways)
Last, but not least, Turgon. This is another I've drawn before, I stuck with the same design, just updated. I really just wanted him to look regal, and it was a fun chance to throw in Glamdring.
As one year wraps up and another begins I wanted to thank everybody. As of scheduling these, I'm at just below five hundred followers. Just from posting Tolkien art, just from doing something that makes me happy. I feel like I've grown a lot as an artist in the last year. One of the Lord of the Rings actors has my art on his phone! I still can't believe that. I never could have even imagined that when I first watched Lord of the Rings as a child. For all of its ups and downs, I think we really do have a great fandom. Full of wonderful and creative people. The next year is going to be hard, I won't pretend it won't be. The next four years is going to be hard. But the connections and friendships we forge over the internet and across the world is a light in dark places. The act of creation is a light in dark places. Kindness is a light in dark places. I can't think of anything more true to the spirit of Tolkien's work than resilience and hope in the face of overwhelming despair. Stay alive, and stay safe. You're a light in dark places, when all other lights have gone out.
House of Finwë family tree, based on the later version from HoME. I chose to stop at Elrond & Elros' generation, but later added Arwen as a side note, which is why her brothers are not included.
