(AU) The Witch-King Tar-Míriel

"No man can kill me." _________________________________________________________

@merilles made me feral about the idea of Tar-Míriel being the Witch-King of Angmar so I had to draw it

I attempted Procreate Dreams again, got frustrated with the app, and returned to Roughanimator.

Anyway, have a peaceful loop animation inspired by My Neighbor Tortoro ft. Tolkien-AU Marlin, Nemo, Dory, and Bruce!

Playing around with the idea of posting more sketchy/sketchbook/preliminary stuff now that I'm setting a goal for the rest of 2023 and into 2024 to put more prep/thought into my illustrations...

Working on an illustration that is "Arwen Meets Princesscore" and I haven't decided if I'll be doing the final illustration in gouache or digitally, probably digitally bc I don't use gouache like ever haha but I might do some sketchbook paintings to practice and like i said, may be sharing the process as I work on this illustration...

Here's two fun character sketches for this piece... Arwen in a 'underdress' as well as having fun playing with her hairstyle for this illustration :)

Au Idea: Maeglin is the son of Aredhel and Glorfindel and it is one of the reasons for Eöl’s hate for them. Aredhel is already with child at the time of her taking refuge with Eöl. Glorfindel desperately searches for Aredhel, knowing of his fathering her child.

In Gondolin, Glorfindel takes Maeglin under his wing, looking out for him.

TOLKIEN AU ☆ ELROND as a descendant of CELEGORM [through Dior]

Elros is all wild tumbles, dirt on his palms and dark hair mussed with knots. He’s vivacious with a toothy grin and a quick wit. But it’s the other twin, Elrond, that puzzles Maglor.

Elrond is a quiet fire with the same metal-grey eyes as his brother. But while Elros's hair is a dark chestnut, Elrond has a head of silver-hot hair - smooth strands that pool over his shoulders. The other differences between the twins are miniscule, the sharpness of Elrond’s features compared to Elros’s softer smile or the downturn of the mouth that sets the twins apart.

In mood, they seem alike - Elrond is no sullen child by any means but the realisation barrels into Maglor when the twins smile at him. The way Elrond smiles, as good-hearted as he seems, as if he’s baring his teeth and the smile doesn’t reach his feline-like eyes.

A smile that he once saw in his younger brother who was all ferocious grins and furrowed brows - his younger brother who had hair that seemed to capture the white fire of stars.

Not long after, when Maglor slams his hands on Maedhros’s desk and relays his concerns, the story seems to make so much sense.

Celegorm’s attachment to the Princess of Doriath, the shocked look on their younger brother’s face when his eyes were glazed over with death and Dior Eluchíl lay bleeding just out of arm’s reach and the pure spirit that Elrond possesses - that scorching fire and the will to survive and to fight and to struggle against it all.

And for the first time in 500 years, Maedhros loses his composure and swears.

Shadowrun could be the future of Silmarillion verse

Random thought that occurred to me today: the Shadowrun verse could be a future "age" of the Silmarillion verse.

The Silmarillion fandom has people from every generation. Certainly, some of the older fans and even some of the younger fans can be "Western medieval purists" when it comes to the Silmarillion and Tolkien's world in general. So, there is a resistance to futurism.

However, the very concept of Dagor Dagorath suggests that the world is not going to be "medieval" when Morgoth returns.

Now, in Shadowrun, the lore is that at some point, non-humans start to appear in the human world. The explanation in the Shadowrun verse is "unexplained genetic expression (UGE)". But that can be easily modified to a "return/reconnection".

If you think about the "last age of Arda" in Tolkien's verse, it stands to reason that the last age will be kicked off with the return of the dwarves. Technically, the dwarves are supposed to be still here but too deep underground for humans to reach. So reconnecting with the dwarves would be a big indication that the end is nigh!

Secondly, Morgoth is supposed to attack Aman first because that's still where the entrance into Arda from the everlasting darkness exists.

The implication/prophecy says this time around, the Valar and the elves will be wearied enough that Aman will be devastated. So you can see a situation where knowing what's to come, the Valar and Maia reembody every single elven fea that's ever been born, including Feanor and his sons, put them on boats and sends them to Middle Earth, i.e. to us, while they hold the line against Morgoth as long as possible.

However, the Valar and the Maia fail. They have wearied as the song of Arda has gone on. They no longer have the strength to win against Morgoth. They lose, and Aman becomes the staging ground for Morgoth's invasion of Middle-Earth.

So, the straight road becomes cursed because that's what Morgoth is using to send his minions to attack humans, elves, dwarves, and hobbits.

Also, Morgoth would absolutely love corporatism! He is totally someone who would use capitalism fully to just devastate nations and people. He wouldn't even have to trick people because short-termism is so baked into corporate culture that way too many corporate executives would totally side with him.

In the meantime, I could see the returned elves find places for themselves and found new nations and kingdoms. Valar can and have created land out of nothing. So, I think one of their last acts would be to create an elven continent in the Pacific Ocean so the elves don't have to go into a resource conflict with humans immediately.

The new continent, let's go with Mu which an established lost mythical continent. Unless New Zealanders are happy to share their country with elves because the continent of Zealandis is real and if raised would easily support New Zelanders (there is only like 5 million or so of them) + all elves (calculations say that elvish population at their height was around 3 million, throw in baby boom during the long peace and even then I can't see there being more then 10 million elves). Anyway, point is elves establish new nations in their new continent and begin preparation for war with Morgoth and war comes quickly. Any surviving Maia would also seek refuge among the elves.

I can totally see the reborn Feanor totally embracing technology and mixing tech with magic and just leaning really into "magiktech". Sons of Feanor too would just be a bunch of Deckers, Riggers and Celegrom would be a physical adept... am I unfair in how I think Celegrom is just a meathead? 🤔

In conclusion, I totally think that Shadowrun verse is fully compatible with Tolkien verse, and the world of Shadowrun may well be what the last age of Arda looks like because Shadowrun is what would happen if elves, dwarves and magic suddenly returned to our world of technology. While the concept of the final battle with Morgoth implies that magic and magical races like the elves will return to our world before the end...

But mostly, I just want to see the sons of Feanor + Fingon as Shadowrun archetypes!

Elves can only fall in love once.

You wander around the Woodland realm as the guest of the Elven king. You deeply admire him and cherish everything he says, does and is.

You realise you’re in love.

You know the Elven king can’t replicate your feelings. He has already been in love with Calathiel, his wife and mother of Legolas. Even though you know this, you continue. Affection can’t be bad, can it?

The Elven king senses your feelings, and he enjoys the attention he gets. He’s not particularly well-thought-of in Middle Earth.

The days pass by, and the Elven king notices a slow change in the way he views you. He desires to talk with you, to promenade with you around the kingdom and to spend even more time with you.

He talks about this to his councils. And after some time, he knows what has happened. And it has never happened before.

“I think I might’ve fallen in love again.”

«ENTRAP» for the sender to capture the receiver in a trap made by the sender.

(For Sylverian in their Tolkien AU)

@angayor | *: ･ﾟ✧ capturing a muse starters.

—— 👑* ; "HELLO?! HELLO-OOO?!"

The golden-haired elf hadn't expected on stepping into a trap so close to home, now finding himself in a rather uncomfortable situation ; strung up in a net.

"I swear by the valar — UGH!" He isn't scared, just... furious, his naivety assuming the trap to be intended for game by a hunter.

"My robes are RUINED! Rest assured, you will pay for carelessly setting your traps in these woods, you BUFFOON! I'm aware of your presence, so come out and RELEASE. ME. IMMEDIATELY!!"

Just as sharks often prey on fish, Trolls historically preyed on hobbits opportunistically. As one can imagine, as friendly as Bruce is, it definitely takes Marlin a good amount of time to completely get over his own instincts.
