#halfelvenweek

". . .Lúthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar. Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of Beren and Lúthien" "Then Dior arose, and about his neck he clasped the Nauglamir, and now he appeared as the fairest of all the children of the world, of threefold race: of the Edain, and of the Eldar, and of the Maiar of the Blessed Realm." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Ruin of Doriath" "For Ulmo bore up Elwing out of the waves, and he gave her the likeness of a great white bird, and upon her breast there shone as a star the Silmaril, as she flew over the water to seek Eärendil her beloved." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath"

My version of Professor Tolkien's characters, Dior Eluchil with his twin sons Elured and Elurin for @halfelvenweek

The Bëorians were noted as being very akin to the Noldor in their appearance. They had dark or brown hair with grey or brown eyes, and some among them were fair-haired; their skin ranged from fair to even swarthy. Most were broad and of stocky build; those as tall as those of the Folk of Hador were rare.

House of Bëor

From Tolkien Gateway

Apperance based on what is known of their Elven and Mannish ancestors:

Dior is a dark brunette, with fair skin, and silver-grey eyes which gives off a impression of being cat-like, due to his Maia blood from Melian

Rather than being similiar in apperance, Elured and Elurin are fraternal twins, partly as a result of their Mannish inheritage. Elured takes after Great-Grandpa Thingol's silver hair with the more rare brown eyes and darker skin color found in the House of Beor, while Elurin gave grandpa Beren a serious shock over how similiar he was to Great-Grandma Emeldir "the Man-Hearted" already as a baby

The Music has been uncharacteristically subdued ever since he last closed his eyes, but here at the outskirts of the world, it is almost as if it has disappeared altogether. Not truly of course – Dior feels the murmur of it still – but when before it pressed full to bursting against all crevices of his mind and spirit and thought, clamoring for his attention by turn with bullish demands or coy appeals; now it is but a breath in the wind. Held against its roaring crescendo when he battled the three brothers, an ascension that built without end and reached a new climax every moment – this is negative pressure, a vacuum among space.
