Uinen, the Lady of the Seas, whose hair lies spread through all waters under sky. To her mariners cry, for she can lay calm upon the waves, restraining the wildness of Ossë. (The Silmarillion)

Happy international #womensday! This is one of my older works.

Find yourself someone who looks at you like this hobbit looks at his tomato sapling.

Wanted to draw something sweet and happy and spring-y, so a gardening hobbit happened. Colour pencils all the way.

I was more than fed up with this pathetic excuse of a winter we have in here, and started projecting massively through my drawing... Still firmly in sketch phase, though.

So here, a hobbit doing what hobbits love to do, gardening 🌱

I declare the portrait of dwarven lass finished! The lady still chose to remain anonymous... This was supposed to be a quick sketch but I ended up working on it for almost a month and still mostly neglected the background 😀

The idea of Tolkienian dwarven women has pestered me lately. They're described looking like male dwarves, I wanted softness but subtle, practical way. Still a WIP... One of my first tries on coloured paper too!

First finished drawing in, like, fifteen years!

In the Silmarillion, the awakening of the elves happened right after the stars were created, and the first thing the elves saw were the stars. Tried to capture some of that wonder here.

A quickie, more of a sketch really. I'm fairly certain I had some specific Silmarillion elf in mind when doodling him, but I've totally forgotten who I was thinking of, this one too being from around 2006 or so.

Varda Elentári, star kindler, queen of the Valar.

Starting my gallery with an older painting (ahem, ancient really...). I find the Valar quite fascinating, so you can well expect more of them in the future :)

Hi all! I picked up my art supplies after a hugely long break earlier this autumn, and after actually finishing some new pieces I felt like I wanted to publish my work. So this is the origin story of this account. I'll get around posting some actual art soon 😀
