Tried to put together the vanyar family tree and ... maybe elven biology just works different than human does (hopefully).

I’ve been wondering for quite some time about the clothing styles and aesthetics of the Eldar in Valinor.

So I thought it could make for an interesting first post…

I was too lazy to draw anything myself. And, sadly, I don’t really have the skill for complex textures. Though I might post some of my own illustrations someday. So for now, it’ll be AI-generated, sorry...

Anyway, what really interests me is the textures and cuts of the clothes. There are ceremonial outfits, court attire, everyday clothes, and work garments.

I'll start with the Vanyar.

I went for a style based on layered drapery of varying weights - flowing fabrics, lightly embroidered, folded and fastened with brooches.

The jewelry: organic or slightly geometric shapes, most often in gold.

Rich colors, pastel tones, and a generally sunlit palette. More as recurring tendencies than any actual rigid system though.

Valinor wedding of my Vanya OC and his beloved from Nandor elves

They waited for each other a few thousands years. Kael and Laiqwe met at Lake Cuivinen, and they lost each other during the Elves' journey to the West. They later met when Laiqwe came to Middle-Еarth with the other Vanar to fight Morgoth.

My original character from Vanyar. He was a spearman in the army of Valinor and fought against Morgoth.

And he is a sweet guy but not on this art
