#ara answer things

Ok, the only characters I actually sat down to design once I finished reading The Silm where the feanorians. All the rest have kinda came from those designs (in design we would call them "Diseño rector". I don't have the english term for that). First skecthes of them were this tiny thumnails

I changed these a lot. But I kept some elements. Specially from Maglor's first design and Amrod's. Curufin's smith clothes ended up being Celebrimbror's usual clothes (with much less detail becase I have never drawn a not meme version of him with clothes). The general idea was to keep Feanor and Nerdanel with more royal like clothes while, at the same time, making Feanors clothes not to flowy or flashy, more like confortable to move around, because he was more into travelling and crafting rather than politics. Fingolfin's clothes for example are similar, but have long sleeves and, if I ever were to draw him again, I'd add more layers to his clothes

Maedhros was meant to have a mix of warrior clothes and formal ones, like he is a fighter, but also a prince and diplomat. I only used that like, once. After that, I opted for casual, western like clothes, that are meant to look more modest. Like he is, you know, traveling around and tired of his family and problems. And, most importantly...he wears lots of blue, because he is closer to the nolofinweans. He wore more red in Valinor, but started using more and more blue after Thangorodrim.

First Curufin there was more heavily armored, because I felt he was more violence-inclined. But I ended up discarding that in favor of more forge friendly clothes as I realized he was more of a manipulation guy, but not a fancy one. Not gonna lie, only drew him like twice, so I haven't worked to much on him. He wears only red.

Celegorm changed a lot. He was meant to have a more western look, and use lots of leather, but still look well dressed. Now I draw him with minimum clothing (still more leather and fur than the rest, tho) because he just doesn't care. He also wears all red, but in a more muted tone and a tiny bit more maroon/brownish

Maglor is the one that changed the least. He was meant to be dressed in a similar fashion than Nerdanel, both for personal views of his gender and to point out that he is more kin to her, for me. Both him and Caranthir have more formal and very not-practical outfits to show that they aren't that much into fighting and moving around, even if they did those. But Maglor in particular doesn't wear red at all. I use both green a blue for him. In this case, is not related to his cousins, but the sea. The only time I used red for him was when I drew him in full armor.

Caranthir uses the same kind of clothes as Maglor, but in his case is to look fancier. I use reddish purples for him, since purple is usually associated with wealth, and also separates him from all the rest.

(also, yes, his hair is dark red. This was mostly because I usually have a hard time telling him apart from Curufin. I thought it would be easier like that, but instead got very confused tags hahaha)

Photo limit doesn't allow to show the changes on the ambarussa, but let's just say that I only drew him once, and went for VERY simple clothes, more like Mae's, in the same colors too. And finally, Celebrimbor. He is dressed basically like Curufin, always very simple, comfortable and modest. It's more about he as a creator than a leader. I Have thought of some fancies clothes for him, but never got around to draw them yet because I like showing his arms way too much. He dresses much like Curufin, uses his hair like him and Feanor (because it reflects on their common necessity of having forge friendly looks), but would NEVER wear anything red or gold. The reason I went for blue is both because of how he rejected his lineage and because of the time he spent in Gondolin.

And yep, that's all. Like, I had drawings of actual, well done references of Annatar's outfits, or like 10 designs option sketches I did for Thranduil, but decided to write a thesis about these guys. And worst of all, I'm not spell checking this, so it's going to be a mess.
