The lords of Gonfdolin.

Here are my character starters for the Lords of Gondolin, which will really only become important once I get around to my *Fall of Gondolin* comics and *Gondolin Days* slice of life comics before that.

"There were those of the Tree, and they were a great house, and their raiment was green. They fought with iron studded clubs or with slings and their lord Galdor was held the most valiant of all the Gondothlim save Turgon alone." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, "The Fall of Gondolin"

[ID: a moodboard comprised of nine images arranged in a 3x3 grid, primarily in shades of green and brown. Top to bottom, left to right, the images show:

All these gentlemen were drawn as part of the Gondolin Gang series for intea (my deep gratitude for this opportunity and inspiration ♥). Of course I will draw the remaining two, but now I want to show the finished ones 😃

I tried to draw different but stylistically similar and simple outfits, hairstyles and faces, so that one could believe that they live at the same time and in the same place, being in an everyday (medieval) environment - most of them had small bags for small things and clothes whose fit is regulated by a belt and not by patterns.

Egalmot got the most complex background - there's a cat there, did you see it? 🐈
