Like Mother, Like Son
Like Mother, Like Son
I love that Curufin and Fëanor look almost exactly alike, and I raise you this idea:
When seen from a distance, the tall, burly firstborn son of Fëanor favors his mother Nerdanel far more than his father, with his wild mane of red curls and his tan skin spattered with freckles. His stone-grey eyes are clearly Fëanor's, but he inherited his mother's large hands and broad shoulders; in fact, Nerdanel's almost masculine features are perfectly realized in Maedhros, the tallest of his family, a lordly Elf whose figure looks cut from the marble slabs his mother sculpts so artfully.
His personality is similar to hers as well; though his expression is often perceived to be cold and brooding, he has the same quick wit and observant nature as Nerdanel, and he weighs his words carefully before he speaks them. His lopsided, quirked grin brings to mind his mother's mischievous laughter.
It is why, though she would never say or show it, Maedhros is his mother's favorite son, and why it breaks her heart so to see him leave Valinor with the rest of the Noldor.

So like….. if Fëanor created the Palantíri……… and there were originally 8 of them….did…did Fëanor just invent the Middle Earth equivalent of phones so he could keep in contact with his kids???
WHY??? MUST??? THE???? BEAUTY???? BE NOT HERE?????



ohhHHHh brother,,, is this another sketch dump after an undisclosed number of weeks of absence and online inactivity? yessir it sure is but i sure hope it won't stay that way 🤞 apologies again for disappearing, but im on break for the next couple of months for the summer so i have a lot planned and im hoping to catch up with... everything!
i put a little status update under the cut but feel free to skip that cuz its just me explaining some things ive had on my mind hoho 😙😙 happy 1st of june everyone!!!
a lot of things have been happening irl that im still getting used to, but thank you for always being very patient 🙇♀️ i apologise for disappearing again after i promised id start being more active again in... januARY??? man oh man the year is passing by tooooo fast holy smokes
i havent had much time to be on social media since then, but ive gotten some email notifs from ppl sending in such kind messages via inbox, and its really made me go AUGHHHHH in the midst of whatever im doing cuz it means the world to me 🥺❤️ if youre someone who's sent in something over the past year since i started hiatus in march 2023, IM REALLY SORRY AGAIN 😭😭 i always try to keep up with my policy of one-art-piece-per-ask, but because of that sometimes i just procrastinate a lot or get stuck on finding relevant things to draw as thanks. ive been brainstorming some ideas, though, and its my goal to get through a hefty sum of em before things get real busy again in a few months 😤
im really sorry again for being so inconsistent this past year, but im gonna do my best! i hope everyone on here's been doing good and im raring to see everything new with silm tumblr ❤️❤️ also if anyone has any recs for any new content pls feed me for i am starvedddd

Inktober Day 1: Crystal
because it's impossible not to think 'Annatar' without also then thinking 'rich widow decked out in jewels he bought with someone else's trust fund'

Inktober Day 2: Suit
look i know i couldve done a suit of armor or smthn but if there's a chance for me to draw the Boys (TM) in suits then you bet im taking it hehehe

Inktober Day 3: Vessel
cursed thought HEAR ME OUT OK how wack would it be if every time Sauron shapeshifted (e.g Annatar back to original body), instead of it being an instantaneous thing, his new form has to crawl out of the old hollow one like a caterpillar or a snake? ...what? that's kinda gross? im sorry i wont do it again but i was running low on ideas oKk
Inktober Day 6: Spirit

Inktober Day 6: Spirit
sometimes i like the idea of the sons of Feanor (sans Amrod) who died via the kinslayings/silmaril lingering by Maglor for the rest of his time in self-imposed exile... bonus points if houseless spirits look like they did when they died too!!
so i tried my hand at inktober for the first time... then gave up after a few days bc im too lazy... idk how those people who do it for the whole month do it, but please sire impart thy determination onto me!!! 🙇♀️😂 i might do a second dump in later October if i pick up any other days but for now.... my procrastination calls ✨
