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.
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. :)
Bloodshot and Hungry
WARNINGS APPLY: in-universe slavery, underweight character
For the 3.17 prompt “I used to think I had no message, but the message is me — bloodshot and hungry …” I drew Túor enduring harsh treatment as a thrall in Hithlum. While the Silm focuses on his heroic and glorious moments as a lord of Gondolin and messenger of Ulmo, I think it’s interesting to look at how his resilience is informed by the hardships of his youth.
