🦚Finrod’s Hairstylist🦚

So we heard u liek ✨b l o n d e s✨

Commissioned from @sauroff and based on our mutual headcanon that Mairon was so impressed by that werewolf-biting, Ainu-challenging, insane blond elf that he had in his dungeons once upon a time, that he crafted his Annatar fana to be a copy of Finrod.

Celegorm in Beleriand

I've been sketching due to some stress, and went back to the roots,

What shines brighter than a crown?

It's Celegorm's gleaming head.

This piece came from joking around with friends about an AU where Celegorm becomes regent, and here's the artwork.

Me: The more I look at it, the more I think the Noldor are doomed.

Friend: Don't worry, Curufin will be pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Me: That's even worse.

POV: you’re about to get sold, and these elves are contemplating their profits.

The beautiful appearance of the Giver of Gifts, Melkor. The prototype of Annatar

Then one appeared among us, in our own form visible, but greater and more beautiful; and he said that he had come out of pity. [...]

Then we looked and lo! he was clad in raiment that shone like silver and gold, and he had a crown on his head, and gems in his hair. ‘If ye wish to be like me,’ he said, ‘I will teach you.’ Then we took him as teacher.
