Description

Merry yuletide season @fernstrike !

For the @officialtolkiensecretsanta I got @fernstrike ! I really liked working with this request, because their request was to draw something about the Elendili.

In the image:

Elendil (top right) Anarion (top left) and his two daughters are supervising the growth of a very special tree.

✧*。٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

…I say daughters because the book only says three unnamed children and then a son so I assume the three are girls, and I wanted to add them because I think there are a lot of “unnamed children” in all Tolkien works that got overlooked but deserve some light on their presence.

PS: I couldn’t help but add the flower in the right; I known it’s a very xmas-y flower, but I actually added it as a small tribute to my country: the rest of the world knows this flower as poinsettias but their Mexican name is “Cuetlaxochitl”

This is amazing, there are a lot of Silm/LOTR characters that don't get enough love when it comes to fanart so it's really refreshing to see these two in such a unique setting.

Oh I totally agree! So many good stories here and there that get overlooked! I mean, not everything is Beren and Luthien...

(in tolkiens defense if an artist decided to draw a different character each day it'd still take them years to finish...but still)

I'm glad I got to draw these tho!

greenapplefreak In reply to Makosharkman [2018-12-30 21:26:21 +0000 UTC]

oh yeah, totally: the silmarillion being the obscure, slightly more bloodlusting cousin of Lord of the Rings.

You could draw him next and zi would like to see you draw how Sauron turn those kings into the Ringwraith.
