He had tarried overlong

Whee! Spent the afternoon reinstalling Photoshop and *some* Windows library function module thingummy after accidentally shooting everything up by trying to give it more cache space.

I'm on the finishing stretch!

Tuor - wip

Making use of the last childless day... kiddos coming home today.

The Noontide of Valinor

It's done! What a strange colour scheme for me, but I love it. The same can't be said about my scanner; whenever I give it a picture to scan that's wildly off my usual colours, it butchers them comple...

Valinor - borders done!

Noontide of Valinor - painting the borders

July seems to be my Unusual Colour Scheme period. :)

Full workbench. ^__^

First colour washes on Valinor and Tuor. 

Your next packages will look so much cooler. ^^ My MOO packages arrived!

Beneath the stars

Okay, caffeine-induced drawing frenzy. O_o Next commission: Finwë and Míriel at Cuivienen, with Elwë in the background. I need something calming now. I think some Supernatural binge-watching migh...

Tuor and the swans lineart

Working on two pics simultaneously. Yay. 

Can't settle on a title. "Tuor and the swans" sounds boring, "And he knew them for a sign that he had tarried overlong" is a tad long. ...

Noontide of Valinor - lineart

(Can you tell my kids are at my parents' for the entire week?) =D 

And he knew them for a sign that he had tarried overlong

I'm falling more and more in love with this.

Noontide - right side

Ulmo, Yavanna, Aulë, and Varda. And the trees in the middle.

Noontide of Valinor - wip

Nienna, Mandos, Oromë, and Manwë gaze upon some eraser dust. ;) 

Tuor and the swans

I spent the weekend with my parents on the North Sea and well... I needed to draw wind and rushes. And the I realised I had barely ever drawn Tuor. 

Digital scribble for a painting.<...

Nienor timelapse video

This took a lot longer than the last two, so I sped it up to x16. If I'd remembered to put my water glass on the left, it would look a lot calmer and you wouldn't have my arm flitting across th...

Nienor upon Haudh-en-Elleth

This is one of the images that turn out totally different from what I envisioned, but not in a bad way.

(Oh, yes, it's totally not the thunderstorm Tolkien describes, but it wasn't supposed to be. ;...

Nienor - wip 2

Coming along. :) (And being filmed. Co-starring magic eraser.)

Nienor - colour wip 1

(Am I getting on your nerves yet? Sorry - that's what my ideal holidays are like. Dreary, non-artsy school time will come soon enough...)

I decided to go the other way with the Nienor pai...

Little goodies from Moo, just ordered - expect some of them on your post soon (stickers)! The little business cards should be really cool on conventions. Gosh, someone stop me. Moo is having a sale an...

Nerdanel

And the last of the "Wanderer" commissions: Nerdanel für Leah! :)

Amarië

"For she whom he had loved was Amarië of the Vanyar, and she had not gone with him into exile." 

Raffle commission for Marie Prosser. With special thanks to Erin Clark, who sent me ...

Celegorm

Talking about smug... ;) Celegorm, for Veronica! Next up: Marie's raffle commission, Amarië - and then, the Two Trees for Erin. :)

Quiz: What is this?

First two people to guess correctly get a set of four when they arrive next week! =D

Smaug

Commission for Wiltraud! He was a lot of fun and profited greatly from a couple of lizard ref photos. I made him slightly less scary than my Ancalagon, after all, he *is* from a children's book. ;)
