![]() ![]() They’re not naive, they know that the torture of prisoners and slaves occurs on the daily but the little rules, tokens, bits of culture that both prisoners and tormentors are privy to, they are unaware of. Literally.Īnd many are unaware of what occurs in the other parts of the fortress. These ones are treated far more like the elven slaves of Angband who they hold practically no power over and the cultures of those elves in and out of the fortress mix with the culture of the orcs.Īs you can see in this story for the orcs that aren’t apart of the containment of prisoners, their lives are mostly spent in the darkness. The ones visible in the fortress (as guards, torturers, etc) and during attacks are the ones the elves fear but there are plenty in the fortress who are tasked with the menial labor that’s just needed to run an operation as large as this and not all of them are cruel and violent, some have bonds with each other, even families. Oh yes this is good! I have so many headcanons on the culture of the orcs, I don’t think all of them are soldiers, that’s just unrealistic given how much of Angband’s population they make up. So YEAH… it probably doesn’t really make much sense, but that’s my reasoning! I hope it’s a passable explanation LMAO □♀️ Thank you for taking time to ask, and I hope YOU have a lovely rest of your week as well!! □ So he suggested green instead, I didn’t mind it, and that’s how he ended up with green eyes! Now when it comes to Maeglin, it was purely by whim □ I drew him with dark reddish-burgundy eyes first in March, but when I got Consultant Boo’s opinion on it, he said it was kind of stereotypical that I gave a villain-coded character red eyes- and I was like 'well darn, you got a point!!’. so Miriel ended up with green eyes! here’s a little genealogy tree □ 357), Feanor had to get his genetics from somewhere or it’d bug me…. So my reason for Miriel goes: I gave Feanor green eyes for fun back in December 2020 when I first drew him, and it’s stuck since! And since I wanted to follow Finwe’s description of having ‘grey-blue eyes’ ( the Shibboleth of Feanor, p. It’s not that i dislike Tolkien’s canon descriptions, though! I actually adore the concept of the Noldor having characteristic grey-silver eyes that shine like the light of Telperion that’s what I stick with when I’m writing XD But when I draw, I love varying colours so that bit is my creative liberty sacrifice…! ![]() But personally for me at least, I’d find it really boring to colour if everyone I drew had grey/silver eyes which is why I prefer changing things when I draw… if that makes sense? for example, the Noldor are described as typically having grey eyes. Now about the question about eyes! man, you guys really are observant □ im gonna be honest and say– i didnt even realise that I was giving the dark-eyed characters in particular green eyes instead lmao?! Is that a recurring thing that’s been happening?!?! ━Σ(゚Д゚|||) I really should check Tolkien Gateway more often HHAHA stiil, i’ll try to explain myself!!!Īdmittedly, as much as I try to stay faithful to Tolkien’s descriptions, i take creative liberties when I’m designing characters. Hahaha thank you so much!!! you are so sweet to say all that qwq □□ the REAL amazing ones are you guys who write such kind things! still, I’m so very grateful for your support!! □ Why do you draw all dark-eyed characters with green eyes? (Maeglin and Miriel) Every single time you upload it makes me happy and I just gotta download them on my phone >.< □□ This is something that I question every time I click on your profile, and I finally got the courage to say it.įirst of all I want to say how amazing and lovely you are, and I love how you show that in all of your art.
