Through Bliss to Woe, Through Sorrow to Joy

a fic for the @tolkienrsb 2022, written by @maedhrus and featuring art by me @arofili | @annaquenta !

“The storm battered the swan boats. It felt like divine intervention. Ossë raging and spitting at the murderers, Ulmo allowing it. That felt worse. The permissibility of their suffering.”

In the aftermath of the First Kinslaying, Nelyafinwë Maitimo makes a different choice and Findekáno accompanies the first host. This changes many things.

[Image description: Colored pencil drawings of Gil-galad and Erien from the Silmarillion. The first drawing depicts Gil-galad as Ilmafinwë Artanáro, an elf man with curly silver hair, warm brown skin, and green eyes; he is wearing a blue robe and gold hoop earrings. Next to him is his sister Erien, an elf woman with curly red hair, warm brown skin, green eyes, and a jagged scar between her eyes; she is smiling wide and wearing a purple robe, silver and blue earrings, and a necklace with a gold pendant of the Fëanorian star. The next drawing depicts two alternate versions of Gil-galad. First he is shown as Cantafinwë Ereinion, an elf man with dark curly hair, warm brown skin, and silver eyes; he is wearing a purple robe, a pink undershirt, and gold and red earrings. Finally he is shown as Velcafinwë (Finellach) Gil-galad, an elf man with red hair, warm brown skin, and blue eyes; he is wearing a green robe and gold and pink earrings. End image description.]

long time no draw, huh?

Here is Erien, and a bunch of Gil-galads! The first pic shows them as they appear in my ’verse little star, little flame; then there are some alternate Gils because I really cannot decide on his hair color... He (and Erien!) are always Russingon kiddos though!!! <3

Meet Réyan and Hanumi, the main characters of my capstone novel!

for @silmarilasta Day 21: Salmon! pretty sure this is a reference to the Silm being misspelled as “Salmon Riot” so I went for a crack-y concept. Meet Salmonáro Curufishwë, rabble-rouser of the Noldor! (Also, I can cross “floating Silmarils” off my Silm Artist Bingo Card......)

[Image description: Colored pencil drawing of two elf-like people. One, Isléya, is a fem-leaning nonbinary person with long silver hair partially tied up in a bun and partially flowing loose about her shoulders, pearly pale blue skin, and black eyes with silver pupils; she is dressed fancily, wearing a revealing red dress, many earrings along her pointed ears, and a necklace with a moon pendant. The other, Vakila, is a nonbinary person with curly red hair pulled up into a bun, brown skin, and hazel eyes; they have two scars across their face and are squinting suspiciously. End image description.]

Isléya and Valika - two more significant characters from my capstone project :)

[Image description: Colored pencil drawing of Maeglin from the Silmarillion and Gildor Inglorion from the Lord of the Rings. Maeglin is an elf man with light olive skin, brown eyes, and black hair pulled up into a bun; he is wearing a blue-green outfit and holding his sword, Anglachel. Gildor is a pale-skinned elf with gold-brown eyes and golden hair; he is wearing a blue and silver shirt. End image description.]

Well I wanted to keep drawing frequently this year but uh, it’s February and this is the first thing I’ve finished so far, so we’ll see how that goes.

Maeglin and Gildor are together mostly because they didn’t have anyone else to go with. I think when I started my list of characters for this series I was trying to figure out how Gildor could be Finrod’s son, so I put him with his cousin Maeglin... but I have since given up on that endeavor and I now see him as the son of some guy named Inglor who served Finrod in Nargothrond. These two are kind of a study in contrast, actually; they look vaguely like Glorfindel and Ecthelion but ah, they’re not.

[Image description: A colored pencil drawing of Orodreth and his wife from the Silmarillion. Orodreth is a blond elf man with blond hair, purple eyes, and dark circles under his eyes; he is wearing a silver crown, green dangly earrings, a blue cloak, and a slight frown. Orodreth’s wife, an OC named Amathluin, is an elf woman with dark brown hair, brown skin, and golden eyes; she is wearing purple earrings, a red and blue hood, a mahogany cloak, a gold scale breastplate partially covered by a red stomach covering, and a gold-brown shirt; strapped to her belt is a sword, and strapped to her back is a circular blue shield. She is looking to the right with an open smile. End image description.]

really like how this one turned out! Orodreth is a gloomy lad with too much weight on his shoulders - but Amathluin, my OC for his wife, is clever and quick, and she can always make him smile :)

[Image description: Colored pencil drawings of Aegnor and Andreth from the Silmarillion. Aegnor is an elf man with light brown skin, long spiky golden hair, and gray eyes; he is nude save for his jewelry, including a purple bracelet, a red ring and a gold ring, a teal stud earring in his earlobe and two orange hoop earrings in his long ear, and a gold necklace. He is hugging himself with one arm and looking dejectedly off to the right. Andreth is a human woman with brown skin, dark eyes, and a mass of dark brown hair streaked with silver; she too is nude, though she wears one small red earring in her earlobe; she has a mole beneath her left eye and one beneath her right collarbone. She looks at the viewer with a neutral expression. End image description.]

Aegnor and Andreth, the star-crossed lovers who never were :(( Aegnor’s hair is always a challenge, but I think it turned out okay? He looks significantly less Sonic the Hedgehog-esque with yellow hair.
