And Finrod decided to photobomb, which they won't realize until they see the painting in full lololl

So I finally did it. Ever since I started reading the New York parts of the AU I wanted to draw young Fingon (I can’t stop drawing him help he is my favourite) but for some reason I had difficulty picturing him. More specifically I couldn’t decide on what hairstyle would suit him best. In the end I chose something less austere because I don’t think it really suits his character as much as say Turgon’s. Here I imgagine he is around 17 years old studying medicine (that’s what the book is supposed to be for I guess) but at the moment he is not really doing much of studying, more like thinking about how best to help a certain carrot head that refuses to speak about his problems and looking pretty while doing so. (The painting in the back was supposed to be some sort of window forshadowing his destiny lying in the West but I am not sure how successfully that comes across lol)

💬 Who are some of your auto-buy authors? . One of my very favorite authors, @katucker_, just released an adult fantasy that I’m reading right now and absolutely loving!! A Fate of Wrath & Flame released yesterday, so be sure to grab yourself a copy!! Check out the full synopsis below. Is this one on your TBR? . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive. Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City's most notorious crime boss. But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom. Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor's sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death. But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess--an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince. Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being. Fortunately for Romeria, she is more valuable to him alive than dead. Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell, or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him. Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape, a ruse that brings her far closer to the king than she anticipated and threatens more than her safety. As she digs deeper into this sacred garden and the ancient feud between Ybaris and Islor, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #katucker #wrathandflame #Fantasy #AdultRomance #valentineprlm #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #kindlepaperwhite #kindlebooks #booklover #booknerd #readerofinstagram #readmorebooks #thecreative #readerforlife #readerscommunity #bookishcommunity #bookaholic #bookpost #bookflatlay #bookishfeatures #flatlayphotography #flatlayforever #flatlayoftheday #bookishflatlay #moodoftheday #readandchill #showusyourhygge (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVoRwGtJen/?utm_medium=tumblr

So remember when I said that I wanted to draw a more serious scene from the AU, well here it is. The fight scene from chapter 58 of Pharmakós after Fingon stole the ring from Melkor. From the moment I read this scene I just couldn’t get it off my mind because first of all it shocked me and second it was so damn intense (I mean this whole AU is intense but this was particularly so XD). A bit of a rushed/non-existant background, but bear with me I am doing this on my phone. Anyway I will leave this here and go think about when this obsession I have with the AU is going to end.

It’s been some time since I last shared something here but with all the waiting for the next chapter of Pharmakós (for real it’s killing me, I have stopped caring for other fics) I decided to go back and do a redraw of my first ever AU artwork just because it never came out exactly as I imagined it (especially the expressions apart from other technicalities). I believe that now it looks very close to the image I originally had in my head and I am satisfied so I thought to share it with you. P.S. Thank you for all the kind words about my art! Your writings have been a major inspiration to me and will continue to be so

P.S. I really pray nothing happens to this precious baby
