Finrod and Andreth
Day 7. Affiliations, Part One. Think about an important relationship your character has to another character in your verse. Spend at least a half-hour exploring that relationship in any way you choose. For example, you might read and research the other character, write or draw about their relationship, create meta or headcanons--your choice.

Andreth and Aegnor

Finrod, the scholar
Day 16. Down Memory Lane, Part Three. Imagine your character keeping a box of little mementoes that are important to them. Write a list, make a sketch, or create a fanwork where these mementoes feature.
I believe Finrod wrote extensively of his time in Beleriand, but his vast library was lost when Nargothrond was sacked, and anything that might have remained was drowned after the War of Wrath.

Nereb and Dungalef
Day 18. Fan Art/Fancast/Fanmix. Create fan art of your character. Don't have an artistic bone in your body? You can substitute finding three images of different people who would fit how you imagine your character to look, or three sets of clothing/costumes that the character might wear, or make a fanmix of songs that relate to your character.

So since I’ve already done a few artworks now I thought I’d come at it from a different angle: Nereb and Dungalef and the horror they felt when they saw one another after Finrod had transformed their appearances.
Ink on vellum
Inspired by this image though I am having difficulty finding the source outside of this website so grain of salt on that.
Golden House of Finarfin
For Day 30. Show It All Off. Create a fanwork about your character: any format, any genre.
If Finrod were to create a family tree of the House of Finarfin, this is what I imagine it would look like, and who it would include.
Still a WIP as it will take quite some time to create all the miniature portraits to fill the spaces.
