decennial dad conference that the three elven kings bring their families along on while they sit at the adults table and try to ignore what's happening at the kids' ones (elwe is there in spirit)

Galadriel with her Grandfather Olwe

I think Galadriel must have had many sweet memories of her youth and the sea.

Me: I am a serious adult taking things seriously

Having so much fun with this style that I compulsively made the earliest elves.

+ a bonus Cirdan... cause he is a king in my mind, what a cutie. More to come... let's see how long I can keep this energy flowing.

My chara-designs for the Teleri Royalty : Part 5

Olwë, Elmo and Círdan @sindarweek

The Teleri uses red henna as a form of makeup to show their status, haven´t figured out a system for it yet, as well as to show marriage and other relations, although most of those would be hidden from plain view, so only the partner, who also draws them, can see them. They are mostly found on the back and thighs which can be seen when swimming or on hot summer days.

The Teleri are much more open with their bodies and showing skin than the Noldor. Still, they favor layered clothes, embroideries, usually depicting the sea, and jewelry, usually stones and shells from the sea or silver.

Unlike the Noldor, where it is seen as shameful to have loose hair, the Teleri don´t have any braiding customs, but they do value long hair and usually cover it up with hair nets and such, but rarely do they braid it. If cutting the hair it is merely a little strand and is given to friends or families who they won't see for some time, such as when going out to sea as a goodbye.
