Nice el. Is there a reason you've chosen to do mash-ups from other cultural myths?

Re: Elengil's Tolkien Fanart
Well I had started doing scenes out of medieval manuscripts, but I always had loved Egypt and I was scrolling through some tomb paintings and saw that scene and thought Oh hey that would make a great "Lúthien before Morgoth" picture and so I gave it a go. But then that got me thinking about how else I could imagine things and so that got me down the Aztec routeRoseMorninStar wrote: ↑Wed Sep 07, 2022 1:29 am Nice el.

Also I did decide to paint it

And during a meeting I wasn't really needed in and wasn't paying the least bit of attention to, I sketched a very sad Elenwë in the water

So I guess really I'm just on an uncharacteristic (but very welcome) art kick.

was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

Re: Elengil's Tolkien Fanart
Honestly, though I've never been much of an artist (I find it very draining) I'm surprised how much I'm feeling inspired lately
Spoilered just cause... I dunno, it's tame but I mean there's blood. Well, there's red ink, but you get the idea.

I need to take inspiration from your inspiration el (and get to work!) I've had a bit of painters block.
