Non, je ne manque pas d'inspiration mais de temps pour cet #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday) consacré au
💍SEIGNEUR DES ANNEAUX💍

Je vous propose donc toute la semaine une rediffusion par jour de messages consacrés à ce chef d'oeuvre, en attendant le #TolkienReadingDay !⤵️
Fate of the Ring par Jian Guo: dans ce dessin très coloré à la façon d'un vitrail dans des teintes violettes et rouge sombre, on voit Elendil couper le doigt de Sauron en armure en haut, refuser de le jeter dans la lave au 2° niveau, tomber dans l'eau au 3°. Tout en bas un poisson gobe l'Anneau: un hobbit pêche dans une barque et Gollum à droite l'emmène dans sa caverne.

Aredhel; Huntress of the Noldor
#tolkien #jrrtolkien #silmarillion #tolkienart #silmart #aredhel #irisse #arferiniel
Aredhel has brown skin and curls. She is wearing white layered clothes, a dark sleeved shirt, a dark sash, white leather boots and gloves, and light grey fur over her white cape. She holds a bow with silver ornaments, a blue and silver sword and arrow holder in her belt, and a silver necklace, earrings, circlet, hair clips, and embroidery. She is looking out with an arrow on the bow as she walks through the dark forest that is drawn into the background of an inspired art nouveau arch.

Meanwhile, his wife was painting away with the Pre-Raphaelites.

I say I’d do big things if I could ever time travel, but really I’d just spend all my time making friends with *cough*stalking*cough* artists and wandering round their studios and houses.
Night and Sleep by Evelyn De Morgan. Two figures fly across and pale sky with mountains and lakes below. The uppermost in pink drapery with a green stole throws a cloak over them and the landscape below. The second figure, in a rust red tunic and bright red cap clutches pink blossoms to their chest and looks down as they scatter, guided entirely by the first figures hand on their arm.

So, I’ve had this idea for a Turin Turambar animation rattling around in my head. Idk if I’ll ever have time to make it, but here’s some concept art. It’d be very compressed and kind of abstract and non-linear: Morwen sends Turin away right away as her home is conquered.

The first in a series I'm planning of the I94 highway in St. Paul MN, which infamously decimated the historical black Rondo neighborhood.
#art #landscape #I94 #minnesota
Digital paintings of the I94 highway, seen through the bars of a pedestrian walkway, with dead vines in the bottom right. It's snowless late winter so everything is brown and yellow, but the hill on the right casts indigo shadows over the highway and the sky above is clear blue. Downtown buildings are visible in the distance, where the highway leads.

Fanart from a few years ago of Melian. The actual book's "and she was the most beautiful maiden ever" descriptions of female characters is boring and also un-draw-able, so I leaned into the nightengale/bird theming with her.
