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:
Túrin Turambar, Gwindor
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.
Not a great deal of characters from “The Tale of Túrin Turambar” needed sigils made, being already done or as a member of a group (human tribe or march-warden of Doriath) and thus not needing one.
But I decided if Beren got his own sigil because of his quest and fame, that Túrin was enough a character, the central figure of his own Middle-earth epic, to need one as well. Followers watched me work on this - the gold is for Glaurung, the red for blood (the red flowers for the seregon on Amon Rûdh), green almost-scale-like pattern, and of course dominated by the Black Sword and the Dragon-helm in the center. It mimics the designs of Beren, and the three Houses of the Edain.
Gwindor, because he was from a noble house of Nargothrond, even if I can’t figure out how or why aside from the fact that he was betrothed to Princess Finduilas, .gets a family sigil. These shades of brown and green where always the colors I had pegged for him, and the white floral element matches the art nouveau embellishments but also looks like a ungulate face. Both are imagery that I find appropriate for him.
Followers should also find this familiar, because it was my EXAMPLE on how I make this.
