LEGENDS OF THE QUENDI
Private commission, from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Pen and ink, watercolor, 24 K gold.
Gandalf/Olorin, Cirdan, Celembribor, Gil Galad, Melian, Galadriel, Elrond, Arwen, The Elven Rings, The Elessar, and a symbolic Belt of Melian.
No, I'm not playing hooky on Good Omens, I get about 20 minutes a day to work on other stuff.
I was getting a half hour a day, but even that's too much at this point.
And yes, at roughly 25 minutes a day, a piece like this takes a really long time. Months.
I'm a big believer in making sure you pick at something else even while working on a big project, even if you only use that time for warm ups. Keeps you from crumbling under the weight of the main project.

Alright Tolkien fans, I need your help.
I think Cirdan’s neat. He survives three whole ages and even gets a ring of power out of it! That being said, I know basically nothing about him and I don’t know where to find him. The internet is not very helpful.
So…where in Tolkien’s huge body of work is Cirdan? I’ve read the silmarillion and lotr already.

Telerian harbor, this one just a quick raw concept that I made so that I could grasp the atmosphere of Telerian culture before I create the final illustartion.

inspired by the classic fandom post https://www.tumblr.com/penny-anna/178677237688/penny-anna-can-tell-merry-pippin-apart-of?source=share by @penny-anna I wanted to try do the same thing for the Silm. But with everyones favourite half elven twins. So here goes nothing.
Can tell Elrond & Elros apart, of course they can, what kind of question is that: Elwing, Maglor, Maedhros
Could not initially tell Elrond and Elros apart but made an effort to learn their names & can now tell them apart: Celebrimbor, Cirdán
Try as they might cannot consistently tell Elrond and Elros apart: Gil Galad, Celeborn, Erestor, Finarfin
Can absolutely tell Elrond and Elros apart but pretends not to be able to: Galadriel
Cannot tell Elrond and Elros apart and not even trying: Thranduil, Oropher, Eonwe
Elrond: I’m Elros
Elros: I’m Elrond

Elrond’s Jewellery collection!
Some things that were handed down, gifted or just bought for himself. only a select few pieces, his full collection needs an entire room of its own.
Peacock hair comb - belonged to Maglor. It was bought by Celegorm from a street vender in central Tirion for Maglor’s birthday. He said that since Maglor acted like a peacock so he may as well dress as one.
Lily flower earings - a gift from Cirdan after Elrond and Elros’s return. The boys were going through a lot mentally especially Elrond as Elros began to get closer to the Edain. Lily’s are a symbol of rebirth and resurrection.
Elwing’s wedding ring - once belonged to Elenwe’s. Jewellery making wasn’t a major priority in the havens of sirion so this was the best Earendil could do.
Golden cuff with a beautiful picture of a field on a sunny day carved into it. - Belonged to his nurse from Sirion. He took it from her corpse. She had no family left in middle earth so he kept it with the intention of returning it one day.
A set of rings each with a little dogs carved into it. - Bought from Haladin merchant.
Delicate pearl necklace with two small swan’s intertwining. - Gifted from a tween Findekano with a not-at-all-obvious crush to Maitimo after he returned from visiting Aqualonde.
Cherry blossom Hairpin - that functions as dagger. From a sindar lord with a bit of a crush.
Bronze bangles - Celebrimbor bought them from Narvi and sent them to Lindon as one of Elrond’s coming of age gifts.
Crystal earrings previously belonged to Galadriel. He claims to not know how they ended up in his possession.
Seahorse Broach bought in Numenor during a visit to his nieces and nephews.
Flower crown made of solid gold crafted by Feanor after Maitimo went through a very public and very bad break up with a Vanya nobleman. He showed up to the spring festival wearing it like princess Diana in her revenge dress.
A heavy golden choker with red jewels. Gifted to Maitimo by Melkor on his birthday during the years of the trees no one was comfortable with this least of all Maitimo but he couldn’t refuse a gift from one of the Valar so publicly. Even Celebrimbor’s maia friend seemed very tense and almost angry when he saw it. Mostly stays inside jewellery box, occasionally goes on display in museums.
A little coin with boats on a raging ocean engraved on it Earendil found it washed up on the beach and gave it to him and Elros to share. Has a little gold chain that lets it be worn as a necklace.

“Thus [Círdan] forfeited the fulfilment of his greatest desire: to see the Blessed Realm and find again there Olwë and his own nearest kin. Alas, he did not reach the shores until nearly all the Teleri of Olwë's following had departed.”

And what if Círdan carved Elrond and Elros’ cradles as a gift to their parents when Elwing was pregnant. Círdan crafting the crib Elrond slept in when he first entered Middle Earth, and the ship he boarded when he left it. Haha. Just a thought

Círdan the Shipwright (2023)
Watercolour on A4 paper
He got lost in the background a few times while painting, which feels fitting.

I feel that so many character motives hinge on this and I'm curious. Please share your headcanons!
