The lords of Gonfdolin.

How close were Penlod and Aredhel? I mean, he took over her house, which must have meant something, right? Why couldn´t Turgon or Idril do it? Or Glorfindel or Ecthelion? Also, his friendship with Rôg, being hinted at, is important too. Do you think he tried to take care of Maeglin in some way?

"There too were the folk of the Pillar and of the Tower of Snow, and both these kindreds were marshalled by Penlod, tallest of Gnomes." - 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 light blue, white, and light grey or brown. Top to bottom, left to right, the images show:

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.

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? 🐈
