These are amazing! I adore all of them. Most, if not all, were pics I was familiar with, but its wonderful to have them all collected in one place!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE!

[hhimring]

So glad you enjoyed these, Oshun!

(I badly wanted to make my first post, but I also had quite a headache--so I picked something that was relatively easy to assemble because I had the dA collection already.)

There are some truly wonderful ones in this collection that I had not looked at in ages. I have mark "favorites" on Deviantart, but there has been such an exploision of Silmarillion art in recent years, that I've been thinking narrowing my categories would be more fun.

I enjoyed looking at these--thanks for sharing! What a mix of styles, too, although my absolute favorite has to be "Seven" (though "My Clique" is hella cute! :D)

[hhimring]

"Seven" is great, isn't it?
It was "My Clique" that gave me the idea for the post (although it's now the odd one out), because I enjoyed it a lot.
There's also Toradh's Silm Meme on dA, which includes drawing all seven sons among its tasks--although some participants have found creative ways of getting out of it!

[zdenka]

Those are some beautiful pictures -- thank you for sharing these links!

[hhimring]

Glad you like them!
(I found myself floundering, because I like way too many things, and needed something like a straightforward numerical criterion, such as "all seven".)

These are great. I love the wide variety of styles. I think my favorites are probably the ones by MatsumotoSensei, Filat and Marishe, but they're all wonderful.

[hhimring]

Glad you like the different styles!
Filat has been producing a lot of great work recently. MatsumotoSensei is also still working or at least it's not long ago that I saw the latest new work. Sadly, I've not seen anything new by Marishe for a long while--but perhaps it's just not being posted to any sites I'm watching.

These are freaking awesome! They're all great but my faves are "My Clique" and "Feanorions" (because of Caranthir's legs-duh!) And the art with the horses is also really enjoyable.

Thanks for posting these! I've never seen these pics before. :)

[hhimring]

I'm glad I was able to introduce you to them, if you haven't seen them before!
It would be a great pity, after all, for you to miss Caranthir's legs!

Super collection! The first one made me laugh:)

[hhimring]

Thank you!
The first one is fun--I'm glad it made you laugh!

[mithrial.livejournal.com]

Loved looking at these.
Thank you for such a great collection of artists.
Some I already watch, and now some new ones too.

[hhimring]

I'm glad I could introduce you to some new ones!

[kayleelupin.livejournal.com]

eeeeeep! how did I not look at all these and comment before? well I am now! I favorited them over on DA but I think my very favorite are the one where Celebrimbor gets to be tallest ( :D ), the one on horseback (where Celegorm's? is looking the other way) and the last one. The Sons of Feanor aren't my favorite characters but these are now my favorite pictures of them :D thanks for sharing them!

[hhimring]

I'm glad you enjoyed these even though they are not your favourite characters!

[starbrow.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is great, thanks so much! *collects them all*

[hhimring]

You're very welcome!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you for those ! (Icon is from the silliness of the all-penguin AU some time ago!!)

[hhimring]

You're welcome!
I remember the all-penguin AU and that icon well!

[ysilme]

What a wonderful collection of recs! I didn't know most of these, and am happy to discover them now. Thank you!

[independence1776]

I'd only see one of these before (I don't go looking for fanart often). They're amazing.

[hhimring]

I'm glad you liked them!
