tagged by: @arthurpendragonns AHHHHH thank you so much maria!!! i feel like i only really got into the creator groove in the last few months and here you are tagging me in this YIKES 💕💕💕 (also 240 edits since march?!? i’m equal parts inspired and intimidated asdfghjk)

🔮 first creation and most recent creation of 2020:

first: boromir & faramir for tolkien gen week: my first edit in over 2 years!! a bit simplistic maybe but not bad

most recent: aragorn (with some nice blending): lowkey really proud of this one i mean……i think i’ve improved??

🌟 one of your favourite creations from 2020:

tolkien characters + major arcana pt. 2: i’m really pleased with this series all round but this one is my fave

🌈 a creation you’re really proud of:

tolkien characters + major arcana pt.1: (technically my least favourite of the three but) i’m so super proud of this concept!! the series took some time to plan and make but the payoff was worth it

💎 a new style you tried this year and a gifset that uses it:

kili for my 4k celebration: throwback to when i briefly dabbled in aesthetic edits?? not a gifset but this year was the first time i made picspams and this was probably my fave

🎨 your favourite colouring:

aragorn & boromir for tolkien gen week: ehhh difficult cause i don’t really feel like i’ve nailed colouring just yet - but fun fact i made this edit before i discovered selective colour!! couldn’t live without it now ofc

⏰ a creation that took you forever:

haldir for tolkien gen week: god this took me ages!! i don’t usually make edits with this many moving parts in it

🔥 your creation from 2020 that received the most notes:

hobbits + food: y’all went MAD for this one!!

💫 a creation with a favourite scene/quote:

the three hunters for tolkien gen week: SUCH an epic quote, i love it so much. and forever salty that it wasn’t used in the films. also if the scene of the three hunters running across rohan with the music blaring in the background doesn’t make you want to punch the air and run off for an adventure of your own…..then we can’t be friends

🏹 a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it:

maedhros & fingon for tolkien gen week: i certainly wasn't new to the silm fandom this year but i’d never made edits for it before. this one didn’t do at all well but i still like it

💔 a creation you made that breaks your heart:

boromir for my 4k celebration: most boromir creations break my heart tbh but this quote really is a punch to the gut

🌱 a ‘simple’ creation that you really love:

just some lovely frodo shots: nothing special here, but i really like the shots i chose and the colouring too. also this was the gifset where i finally figured out how to sharpen effectively lmao

💡 a creation that was inspired by another one (add both your creation and the one that inspired it!):

aragorn & legolas for my 4k celebration inspired by this gorgeous merthur edit by @arthurpendragonns: mine is nowhere close to the original and there are a million things i’d change about it - but it was quite advanced for me at the time and i learnt a lot!
