Tolkien Artwork

Album (820) Thread 'Tolkien Artwork'
Is there the slightest chance of derailing this Finwë mono-culture?
Maybe that book of my wife's about Goya, especially those pictures of the horrific Peninsular War between France and Spain from 1808-1814 ...
... fits the Fëanorians perfectly, at any rate ... 🤔

The timing of the music was so good though! I loved how that sinister organ music started up during the Angband stuff!

From the video description:

I have always thought that this theme (Davy Jones) would be very reminiscent of the Noldolante. So I put together a simple slideshow with fanart from the Tolkien community in order to see how well it really went. I don't own anything here and the editing is very basic. But I think the music, images, and Tolkien's story speak from themselves.

I focused mostly on scenes from the life of Makalaurë (Maglor) or scenes that he would have certainly heard about while he lived in Beleriand. So the theft of the silmarils, burning of the ships at Losgar, the death of Feanor, the rescue of Maedhros; the deaths of Fingolfin, Fingon, and Finrod; and Battle of Unnumbered Tears, the Fall of Gondolin, and more. Essentially, I wanted to create something like the Noldolante without having the composition.
 
A very unique interpretation and depiction of Balrogs there, looking more like demons from some eerie children’s nightmare stories book. I can just hear them cackling and howling in their evil laughter! The watercolor also really adds an ominous vibrancy to the moment too, with the brighter colors, and there’s an energy coming from Fingon after he’s been struck.
