heget: custom sigil in blue and gold (Default)

Disclaimer: Here is a blend of Original Tolkien creations (aka my best efforts at recreating the author’s drawing), modifications on the original, and designs completely from cloth. Previous Entries can be found under the sigil tag. Please credit if use.

In order:

Eöl, Maeglin

 

Notes:

Yes, I'm reposting these once more. Because if people in the Silmarillion/Tolkien fandom continue to use them, I want nice official links to them. And so another crosspost from tumblr project is born.

Confession: I do love both of these characters- and that I loved Eöl long before I fell into with Maeglin.

But as for their sigils- Eöl has the dark background and heavily black design as befitting not just a Sindar but one with the epithet “the Dark Elf”. The points of his device are black swords in honor of the the two dark sisters, Anglachel and Anguirel, with evergreen stylized leaves and loops for the woods of Nan Elmoth.

Maeglin’s elven heraldry sigil (as opposed to the field of sable for the Gondolin shield) was to take the dark sigil of his dad and add the darker blues from his mother’s side. The bits of stylized curlicues are based on the Sindarin art nouveau flowers, but end up looking as much like moth wings or curving lines as they do any flower. Which works for him.
His banner to match with the sigil actually ended up a personal favorite.
