we as a fandom don't talk enough about the fact that idril fought with a sword in the tale of the fall of gondolin

‘Mother Idril, I would we had good Ecthelion of the Fountain here to play to me on his flute, or make me willow-whistles! Perchance he has gone on ahead?’

-Ecthelion & Eärendil

a tentative Maeglin design. He looks much younger than I was going for, but hey, he is really young by elf standards so maybe it's fate

Okay, I just watched "Nimona" on Netflix and I cannot BELIEVE the Tolkien fandom hasn't pounced on it yet! It's LITTERED with references!

The obvious one is this line:

But it gets better! This little girl's name is Gloreth. Gloreth! She's the leader of her people and a (supposed) monster-slayer! It's like if Glorfindel and Haleth had a baby together!

Beyond that, the majority of the movie takes place here

A white-walled city surrounded by mountains... and they can't leave because there's monsters out there... Doesn't that sound familiar?

There's also a lot of Gondolin-esque imagery sprinkled throughout. (Ignore the pink whale)

Also, the blond guy's name is Ambrosius Goldenloin which, if I'm being honest, is still not as bad as Teleporno. And if there's a dramatic ray of sunlight, this man WILL stand in it! I would bet my right arm (which one of the characters lost because it's not Tolkien without missing limbs) that Glorfindel does the same.

Long story short, if you like tolkien references, queer romance, urban fantasy, or goofy movies, you should watch Nimona.

After watching the Lay of Leithian rock opera, I was inspired to make this poll:

The Traitor of Gondolin

Maeglin for @wyvunn

I kind of ended up making this a full blown piece without meaning to, he's such an interesting subject matter though, and I've never drawn him before.

Some time later, Idril said, "My love, will you come outside? The Moon has risen, and shines his rays upon the snow on this clear night. I think we should see it, and greet the new year together." "We will keep you warm," Maeglin assured him. Idril took her great ice-blue cloak from where it hung on a peg and draped it upon Tuor, then took up one side and covered Maeglin with it, and with the other side covered herself. "There," said she. "We will be just fine." Tuor took both their hands as they went out into the cold, but with them on either side of him he barely felt the chill. The moonlight illuminated the snow-covered gardens and made all things glow, but he could hardly spare the sky a glance, when the brightest stars already had their arms around him.

Thank you for commissioning this piece, Jaz!!! I had so much fun working on it and getting to draw these three (especially Idril's HAIR). I'm so fucking weak for them and how you write the three of them together. <3 <3 <3

Little Earendil with uncle Maeglin ✨ This one was made for the last Inktober for our Ig account, but It's still precious for me so why not to post it here also (and yes, expect some more of this, MUCH more...) 😎

@maviacomic choose Idril and Tuor for the Valentine Contest prize, and it was so so nice to work on this ♥ I have been wanting to draw Idril for years

And high and noble as was Elemmakil, greater and more lordly was Ecthelion, Lord of the Fountains, at that time Warden of the Great Gate. All in silver was he clad, and upon his shining helm there was set a spike of steel pointed with a diamond; and as his esquire took his shield it shimmered as if it were bedewed with drops of rain, that were indeed a thousand studs of crystal.

I gave an AI art generator a vague prompt with just Glorfindel's name and he came out so... Glorfindel. 🥺
