Wouldnt it just be truly fucking awful if it was only people out here, and nothing else?

anyways this is like my favourite carpenter monologue of all time it destroys me. so yk i had to draw it. ALSO you can BET i used @catwyk 's incredible parish designs and @valtsv 's leech halo for faulkner. because i gotta steal their smartypants ideas

Round Fingon, Gollum-like Maedhros, and eagle wings from weird perspective ♥ It was a very wild sketch and I am so proud that I managed to keep it wild till the end ♥

ten points for whoever can guess what building is in the background

my handsewn trawlerman quilt!

some wip pics and thoughts under the cut

i had never done a quilt before so this was very exciting for me

i pieced together the entire figure of the trawler man (forgot to take photos of the head with him oops) and then appliquéd the background with part scrap fabric and part sacrificial old t-shirt

i wanted to portray the two sides of the trawlerman, with both a mouth that devours and one that returns, so i hand embroidered some bones (skull, humerus, rib) on one side and added some fish beads in the other. the intent was to show the relationship between death and life in a kind of gradient, but i don’t think it quite came across. i realized too late that it should have been only five beads instead of six, but oh well

i hand-quilted the symbols from the withermark into the coat of the trawler man with a orange-brown gradient thread and did his sort of aura with the same thread but cut and matched it so the light parts would be closest to him. the river was embroidered with some purple thread because i was tired of blue at that point

I don’t want your future, I don’t need your past, one bright moment, is all I ask

but on the other side

I saw a post where someone essentially said “baby Elrond or Elros with glowing eyes floating ominously in the doorway saying dads I threw up” but I can’t find it anymore so if anyone knows who made the post let me know so I can credit them!

* the OP is @thesummerestsolstice !!!

so it only took me like 3 days, but, i finished the thing… based on this text post here about all high elves doing galadriel’s ‘I AM POWERFUL’ thing. and also coraregina‘s headcanon about maitimo’s scars and his use of them as battlepaint 

i can post stills if anyone’s interested just lemme know
