heget | Silmarillion Sigil Set 09 (Reply)

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:

Elenwë, Idril, Ellowen

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.

First is Elenwë. I used the cornflower blue from Idril (my original intentions were a cornflower floral) paired with accents of sapphire, white, and black. Yes, I was thinking of the death on Helcaraxë, but also that those are soothing rich blues. Though there is a white base, in the end the sigil looks more like my Noldor than Vanyar, which is perfectly fine with the headcanon I mentioned in regards to Anairë. Her points reaching out are also 12.

Idril was very difficult to make following Tolkien’s drawing. It’s an older creation, and it shows. Among the problems is that the points are divided by 6(her total rankings point count is 12), and as you can see in my PROCESS explanation, I work in divisions of 4. Thus I had to do new math to get the angles of the circle to match the symmetry. Also, I had not mastered some of the tricks from doing the Lúthien 02. So everything is not as neatly aligned as it should be.

And finally a "new" sigil - one that's actually a few years old but one I never posted. I wanted to reuse Elenwë's palette, so I created Ellowen, with the blue flowers I wanted. Think of her as Elenwë's sister or niece.
