Wake, Butterfly

For the 3.14 prompt poem Wake, butterfly – / it’s late, we’ve miles / to go together, I drew Melian mourning the death of Thingol. I’ve always associated her with butterflies for some reason, and it occurred to me that for a Maia, even the thousands of years she spent with her love would feel far too short. So I interpreted the poem as her inner thoughts, unable to bear the thought of journeying on alone.

Digital pencil sketch. Melian  mourns her dying husband, cradling his head in her lap.

Gathering Stones

For the 3.15 prompt “a time to gather stones, and a time to cast them away” I drew friends and collaborators Celebrimbor and Narvi, eagerly planning a new project together. :)

Digital pencil sketch. Celebrimbor and Narvi are working at a desk together, looking focused and cheerful.
