I’ve made this three months ago for a fandom event in my corner of fandom. And FINALLY the reveals are up and I’m gonna be spamming you with arts. Talk about delayed gratification.
Anyways, this is Yavanna and her tree-hair. And a close-up.
Schlagwort: valar
The 14 Valar of the Arda
I redesigned them again, this time… all together 🙂

a collab with @nyolofinwe!!! they did the original drawing + underpainting and i did the rest o/
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, i can’t stop staring at it ;_; thank you for wonderfully painting my designs

“Yavanna: Queen of the Earth, Giver of the Fruits”, watercolor on paper.
Yavanna has been a dear character to me since reading the Silmarillion for a class project almost 10 years ago. She is one of the Valor, a creator being of Middle Earth, in charge of the care of all things that grow.
I’ve made several attempts already to illustrate her and this is the third. I have a feeling I will continue to illustrate her for years to come because to me she represents the wild creative. For her, anything is possible and that’s a rather intimidating task as an artist. As I continue to grow artistically, so will my idea of her.
Yavanna is now up for bidding at this month’s Changeling Artist Collective Auction! Please visit: http://tinyurl.com/thereandbackagain2 for more information!
Messing around with some designs for Manwë and Varda. I like the idea of their outfits having sort of Slavic influences, somehow it makes them feel more majestic.
