The third son of Fingolfin, Arakáno (Argon), emerged in the course of the making of the genealogies. A pencilled note on the last of the four tables says that he fell in the fighting at Alqualondë; this was struck out, and my father notes that a preferable story was that he perished in the Ice. It is curious that this third son, of whom there had never before been any mention, entered (as it seems) without a story, and the manner of his death was twice changed before the remarkable appearance here of 'the first battle of Fingolfin's host with the Orks, the Battle of the Lammoth,' in which he fell. - The Peoples of Middle-Earth, “The Shibboleth of Fëanor” (note 38)

got tired from colouring the animation and needed to relax. here you are, it was supposed to be just a doodle, but it took 25 hours from my life ✌️

I thought I should try to fit the first generation together so as to better see their likeness, hope you enjoy

Arakáno was the tallest of the brothers and the most impetuous, but his name was never changed to Sindarin form, for he perished in the first battle of Fingolfin’s host with the Orcs, the Battle of the Lammoth (but the Sindarin form Argon was often later given as a name by Noldor and Sindar in memory of his valour).

Argon

My third submission for @fall-for-tolkien's Scribbles and Drabbles event, featuring Fingon and Argon! A day may come when I draw a happy Argon, but it is not this day; this day, Argon dies and Fingon cries - again! (And this is also technically a redraw of my previous "Fingon cradles Argon post-Lammoth" paintings XD)
