Finduilas Faelivrin for @legendariumladiesapril . Thank you to Hhimring for the inspiration!!

“Amarië now refused patronage or compensation for her work and cared not whether people liked it and expected to not be understood. Amarië now was consumed with The Truth. "I don't think anyone will get it, except maybe Arafinwë and a few others who have read deep into the theory but that hardly matters, Findaráto; it is the truth and so I must speak it. It's going to sound so ugly! I know it!" she told me as she rolled black silken tights onto her slender pale legs. "People will hate it, but it's true, so it must be said. People will evolve. They didn't understand your father's ideas at first either and look at all he has done. The truth is ugly sometimes, it is!"

Queen Beruthiel, the original Tolkien cat lady, for @legendariumladiesapril I have so many ideas for how she got to be called the angry queen, and why there were so many strange tales about her, and I hope I will get to make a story about that some day, but for now I took this opportunity to do this painting of her and her cats. (Which I do not believe she tortured, that is not an effective way of getting cats to behave at all).

The painting style is new for me and heavily inspired by the incomparable Carne Griffiths. Check out his website and prepare to be stunned: https://www.carnegriffiths.com/

Caranthir, Amrod and Amras in a quiet moment. “... but Caranthir fled and joined the remnant of his people to the scattered folk of the hunters, Amrod and Amras, and they retreated and passed Ramdal in the south.” From Of the ruin of Beleriand, the Silmarillion.

A quick Caranthir to loosen up a little! This was a fun technique and did not go at all as I had planned which was exactly to plan
