Continuing to actually scan and post art I’ve been working on…

Aman Dance Party #2: Fingolfin and Anaire. I tried something new with the underpainting this time, and it was astonishingly successful in getting the flowers to have the kind of glowing effect I wanted. My feeling is, if we poor mortal humans have managed to make glow in the dark plants, the Noldor can definitely have biolumenescent magnolias if they want.

Nolo, you will notice, unlike some brothers he could name but won’t, has actually dressed for a party. His taste in fashion is a bit more conservative than his wife’s though; I have a feeling the sleeveless thing is more On Trend, as it were. He wasn’t meant to be quite so blue, though– I have a general tendancy to try to not draw Feanor in all red or Fingolfin in all blue, because that feels cliche to me. My scanner, however, has a deep seated vendetta against the only real true purple marker I have, and often renders it kind of blue, which I always forget, so here we are.

I am all for glowing flowers in Aman.

♛ legendarium characters: Anairë

The name Anairë means Holiest in Quenya. Little is known about her except that she was a Noldo, who did not leave Aman due to her close friendship with Eärwen, Finarfin’s wife.

Anaire

The wife of Fingolfin, mother of Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel, and Argon.

three headcanons that came up when painting this:

1. She and feanor grew up together, and the rivalry between them is almost worst than that between Feanor and Fingolfin.

2. She’s the elvish equivalent of a lawyer, and a total badass

3. After the departure of the Noldor, she holds the remaining elves in Tirion together with the force of her will alone, and even after Finarfin returns and takes up the throne, she is considered one the most important and influential noldo in tirion
