3 with the twins and Arwen :) sibling and a snowman

Here they are!!!! Finished with a lot of wonderful suggestions from chat during Friday's stream :)

They absolutely stole a bunch of semi-precious gems off of Elrond's desk for the snowman's face but I think that'll just make him laugh when he sees it.

Winter YCH prompts (they're free, and I'm doing them all throughought December and January)

“Hail Gurthang! No lord or loyalty dost thou know, save the hand that wieldeth thee. From no blood wilt thou shrink. Wilt thou therefore take Túrin Turambar, wilt thou slay me swiftly?¨ And from the blade rang a cold voice in answer: ¨Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly.”
