Silmarillion Sigil Set 13

[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:

Artanis, Celebrían

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.

Yes, I already have a Galadriel, but consider the fact that I have made alternate sigils for when other characters changed political positions- and Artanis/Nerwen/Altariel/Galadriel changed her name and adopted a new style. Plus, I had an earlier rejected version of her sigil (Finarfinwions! Why you be so difficult?).

Still, the old version languished in the back of my folder until I realized two things. First, I was giving Idril and Finduilas their own banners to match the sigils, whereas Galadriel was using the banner of her brother. Secondly, the color scheme would work nicely for a sigil for her daughter, Celebrían. So I dusted off the older Galadriel (which is mostly neutrals and light golds) and rechristened it “Artanis”. Plus, it follows the sigil for Eärwen and thus Finarfin, so internal story logic was upheld.

Celebrían I made the key element of her design a ring of silver art nouveau flowers, which are motif and layouts that I’m making common to Sindarin ladies. Her daughter has a similar design.
