Luthien to the rescue

And yet I’ve hardly drawn fanart for them, especially recently! How could I? Well, here’s my attempt to make up for that XDD Here’s a tender moment between the two; I imagine that Beren’s telling Lúthien about his childhood and the happy memories of his family. So this would be during the period where they’re getting to know each other and all, and Lúthien’s really interested in Beren’s family tree because she doesn’t know a whole lot about the Edain and their culture ... Heck, now I want to write a skit for this scene lololl (I might have to reblog with it though XDD)

Little Maeglin, Mole King of Nan Elmoth. I wanted to draw him for @doriathweek and highlight his Sindar heritage—because I enjoy both Maeglin, the Sindar, and Nan Elmoth. (I was not sure how to draw moles, so thank goodness for photo reference.)

Of this Maedhros indeed repented, and sought for them long in the woods of Doriath; but his search was unavailing, and of the fate of Eluréd and Elurín no tale tells.           But the sons of Fëanor gained not what they sought; for a remnant of the people fled before them, and with them was Elwing Dior's daughter, and they escaped, and bearing with them the Silmaril they came in time to the mouths of the River Sirion by the sea.

Elwing for Doriath Week - From the version of the Silmarillion in The Shaping of Middle-Earth where the gods are less merciful and Elwing must make her own wings

Celeborn and Oropher reminisce about the past while Thranduil “minds” Celebrían and steals a taste of his father’s wine.
