«A king is he that can hold his own

or else his title is vain» - Maedhros, Silmarillion.

I know it's Maedhros and Maglor week on Tumblr @maedhrosmaglorweek but I don't have anything new to post. What I do have is this Maedhros I never posted as an image before. And I thought it's the best time to post it. The Burden: Maedhros and Maglor diptych link

Faithful Haradrim portrait for a friend of mine.

I painted her as a part of the story she creates and she was kind enough to let me share it with you ^^

I think she's gorgeous and I gotta practice painting women more often.

@konartiste I tag you coz I promised 😁✅

I have waited too long — Morwen.

The Myth.

This one was created as the last artwork of 2023.

More of a mythical/symbolic imagery than a realistic illustration.

In the 1050 of the Third Age Gondor was at the height of its power and "defeated the Men of the Harad, and their kings were compelled to acknowledge the overlordship of Gondor…the kings of the Harad did homage to Gondor, and their sons lived as hostages in the court of its King."

Maedhros & Maglor “The Burden” diptych gift card

I find the fact that I could finally print it the right way during M&M week rather symbolic 😉

LOTR20: Day 1:  history: The Blue Wizards

They must have had very great influence on the history of the Second Age and Third Age in weakening and disarraying the forces of East ... who would both in the Second Age and Third Age otherwise have ... outnumbered the West.  

Source: Last Writings | The Peoples of Middle-earth ✔All arts are mine and can be found on my blog. Today an awesome #lotrweek starts and I want to celebrate it by recalling my favorite and so underrated heroes - Ithryn Luin - Alatar Morinehtar and Pallando Romestamo. In his last writings Professor Tolkien revised their story and aknowledged the great impact they have had on a history of Middle-Earth. Their heroic deeds and sacrifices left vague but yet we can clearly see Professor's commitment to tell us more about their fate and Faithful Haradrim\Easterlings. What a story it could be... we can only guess now.

Special thanks to @lotr20 for welcoming any works based on LOTR - not movies only ❤

HISTORY UNPRAISED: FAITHFUL HARADRIM

«…evil labours with vast power and perpetual success – in vain: preparing always only the soil for unexpected good to sprout in…» - J.R.R. Tolkien.

@lotr20 LOTRWEEK: Day 1: memory | history | home

Although it can also be almost any day ❤ I'm constantly thinking about Faithful people of South and East: What did they have to face? How hard their inner struggles had been? What songs did they sing and who their heroes were? We can only guess but it’s important to remember this part of the story, I believe. I'm trying to speak to others through my art and humbly remind them that: ✔ There were Faithful among peoples of South and East. ✔ There were heroes fighting and dying for the sake of better future for their children. ✔ And their role shouldn’t be lessened. And finally, let me recall a famous Aragorn’s quote:

Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.

I painted this one thinking of all the things written above. And the image wouldn't leave my mind until I portrayed it. Thus couple of lines become a "living human being", with a gray-eyed gaze. Mixed marriage? Numenorian heritage? I'll leave to your liking. Ifocus on Near Harad for now but am going to gradually make more art about Far Harad, Rhun\Khand, Numenorian expansion and all the things related to the complicated history of Middle-Earth. PS I strongly believe that different tribes of men wore different colors – not sticking to red ’n’ black hues. PPS Pardon my English - I'm not a native speaker ❤

Alatar Morinehtar: The Grief of maia.

“Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.” — Aragorn I don't even want to imagine what it was like to stay Faithful for people of Harad, Rhun and Khand. Truly underrated heroes.

Turin Turambar «THE CURSED»

...Then Morgoth laughed...

'...upon all whom you love my thought shall weigh as a cloud of Doom, and it shall bring them down into darkness and despair. Wherever they go, evil shall arise. Whenever they speak, their words shall bring ill counsel. Whatsoever they do shall turn against them. They shall die without hope, cursing both life and death...'

«For nothing is evil in the beginning…»

Some fast sketching for the sake of capturing the image of something I can't give a clear definition of. Yet.

Can you?

"Who would go? For they must be mighty, peers of Sauron, but must forgo might, and clothe themselves in flesh so as to treat on equality and win the trust of Elves and Men. But this would imperil them, dimming their wisdom and knowledge, and confusing them with fears, cares, and weariness coming from the flesh." But two only came forward: Curumo, who was chosen by Aulë, and Alatar, who was sent by Oromë. - Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth -

Close up from my upcoming artwork <3 Work in progress!
