Summary: The Elves of Valinor don’t have many ghosts, but young Tyelkormo is haunted by one in particular. She lingers in his hair, in his face, in his demeanour and words and actions. Tyelkormo- a child- doesn’t notice how this impacts how his family treats him. Until it does. 

“The Company of the Ring shall be Nine; and the Nine Walkers shall be set against the Nine Riders that are evil. With you and your faithful servant, Gandalf will go [...] For the rest, they shall represent the other Free Peoples of the World: Elves, Dwarves, and Men.”

The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien

Thank you so much for your kind words! I tend to do a mixture of both traditional/digital wherein most if not all my digital pieces start off as traditional sketches which I then take a photo of using my phone + colour in using my outdated PS elements. I’ve been using the same version of PS elements since 2014 and I’ve completed both my art GCSE and A-level using it lmao. 

I tend to like the results of colouring in with photoshop a lot more as the undertones and colours (especially with regards to skin tone) can get very weird, but I do most things traditional as it’s a lot more time-efficient.

Anyway have a Lúthien!

Hello there and thank you so much! As for the other members of the Fellowship, they’re a bit of a surprise atm (also because I’m trying to figure out what I want them to look like as I’ve been focusing mostly on Silm HCs for the past few months). 

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
