Silmarillion Sigil Set 26

[heget]

 

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:

Purple, Emerald, Red Loops, Lotus, Fire, Swamp Green

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.

Here are most of the random sigils I made for background filler or to give other color options.

• Purple: I hadn’t the chance to use much purple, thistle, or lilac before. As a design it could possibly work for any of my Calaquendi elves. It has enough white to be a Vanyar, the geometry is Noldor, and the grace and lightness can keep it Teleri. If it ends up for anyone, it’ll probably be a mixed family.
• Emerald: green and black. And for once I kept the design relatively clean and uncluttered.
• Red Loops: Red and sand, and circlural for a hypothetical female. I could make jokes about the use of dark red and crimson meaning this is for the Eldar equivalent of the ‘Lady in Red’. I guess we now know which faeries abducted Bella Goth…
• Lotus: another old design using the color scheme that would later go to Anairë. The design itself is geometrical. Okay, every single one of these could be described as such. It’s not quite Egyptian or Near Eastern. It’s still an elf, but for what, I don’t know. But still passable to be included in the CC sets.
• Fire: another simplified design, this time with more oranges and reds for a fiery device. Obviously a Noldo.
• Swamp Green: Trying to work with art nouveau flower designs, greens and golds. And instead of something for Glorfindel I found myself making the sigil for any hypothetical swamp elf.
