Day twenty-six of Inktober. Prompt was Shroud. Only five days left of this month. It has been great so far and I’ve really enjoyed the challenge of doing a drawing every day!
Arwen, granddaughter of Galadriel, who made the star-glass that drove back Shelob and broke the will of the Watchers, and the Mirror that can look across space and time and see possible futures, as well as cloaks that can hide you from your enemies and lembas bread that keeps you on your feet when you otherwise would just lie down to die.
Arwen, who made Frodo a ‘white stone’ that helped him in his darkest moments after the Ring was destroyed. Arwen, who grew up in Rivendell with the remains of the Gwaith-i-Mirdain.
Arwen, Celebrimbor’s cousin, daughter of Elrond, master of lore and language.
That banner was not just a flag. I honestly read it as a Thing of Power, like the Rings, like the star-glass, and the Mirror. I love the idea that although Arwen didn’t come to fight in the battle with her brothers, she made Aragorn a banner that would be a weapon to encourage his armies and terrify his enemies. (Arwen is of course Sindar/Edain/Vanyar/Noldor with a teaspoon of Maia, but culturally that particular thing feels very Noldor.)

Never thought of this before, but I love the idea.
like look at Smaug, look at his ears, DON’T YOU JUST WANT TO SCRATCH BEHIND HIS EARS AND TELL HIM HE’S A GOOD BOY
and look at this guy, I guess he’s supposed to be ferocious but it looks more like “whoa man chill out, I’m just saying that those shoes with that helmet was maybe not the greatest fashion decision, just a little friendly advice, no need to get defensive.”
