I saw today that a tumblr called Valardynasty did an edit using your Ainulindale art - I hope they asked your permission!
Thanks so much for letting me know. A number of YouTube channels have asked for permission, but I haven't had requests from any tumblr. I've not seen the edit but will check it out.
Howdy, love your work! Your latest commission got me curious: do you draw black and brown ppl? I have a commission idea if u do :) ❤️
Hi there - yes, I'm Southeast Asian and definitely draw black and brown ppl! 💕 But so far, I've only drawn ppl of South Asian or Austronesian descent, and not African descent and other ethnicities, but I'd love to do that.
I'm not taking commissions anymore, however. So very sorry. But if you're ok with it, let me know your idea and I could add it to the list of art requests I have, and tackle it when I get inspiration? Requests are less stressful and anxiety-inducing, and thus better for my mental health.
But if you do have a timeline for the art and the idea has pretty specific requirements, then I agree you should commission an artist for it.
Hey I make edits on tiktok and wanted to ask if it would be ok for you if I use your Art. My videos are just for fun and I don't earn any money with them. The most edits are about the Silmarillion and I would give credits for shure :)
I wasn’t really sure if I would colour it myself because I hate painting backgrounds so much will I ever do such elaborate thing? I don’t think so.
Fingolfin reading to little Argon, while his eldest son Fingon plays some relaxing music on his harp. Turgon finished transcribing some books while little Aredhel wants to go out.
Lineart: available for free so you can colour it yourself.
“But fairer than all the wonders of Gondolin was Idril, Turgon’s daughter, she that was called Celebrindal, the Silver-foot, whose hair was as the gold of Laurelin before the coming of Melkor.” - Silmarillion
I love that the LOTR cast is standing up for inclusion. The Rings of Power cast does not deserve to be harassed—no one does. Some people have claimed that casting people of color goes against canon, but they’re wrong about that. People of color absolutely belong in Middle-earth.
In the midst of this, though, it should not be forgotten that Amazon has a terrible track record when it comes to racism. Amazon has sold books that promote Holocaust denial and has sold merchandise on its website that explicitly promotes Nazi ideology. Amazon has also come under fire for systemic racism within the company, including blatant discrimination against people of color and a toxic workplace culture.
Diverse casting is important. But diverse casting is not the only measure of inclusion. When it comes to a commitment to diversity and inclusion, Amazon is an abject failure. So while I believe in standing in solidarity with actors of color against racist harassment, I am not standing in solidarity with the company that made this show.
I will not be watching Amazon’s Rings of Power or supporting anything else that Amazon does. But I will say this: if you only oppose this show because of its diverse cast, I want nothing to do with you. Actually, the cast isn’t diverse enough.
