Okay, first RoP/Tolkien art piece I've done. I wanted to kind of draw something with the 3 Elven Rings and the Silmarils, because of the parallels they draw, especially in the show. So, drawing is here. And explanation will be in the comments. Please be kind. #trop #ringsofpower - ThreadSky

This is beautiful.

So, originally, it started as drawing mostly things like Feanor's hammer, the rings, the crests I used in the background. Then it came to be the picture it is. (I started with just the designs, because I like doing designs.)

The bottom crest is half of Feanor's crest. Then I had to find something similar for the top. I decided to go with Gil-galad's crest, as it made sense to me, since everything we're seeing in Rings of Power is during his reign as High King.

After I had those, I had to decide on the rest.

I chose the Great Tree in Lindon and the Two Trees of Valinor, because of the parallels there, too. The rings were created to save the Great Tree/the Elves. The Silmarils contain the light of the Two Trees (and Tolkien wrote about how there would be a sort of end battle, where they would be used

to restore the silver and gold Trees of Valinor.)

There's probably more to my thought process and stuff, but this is just me doing a quick explanation. (And posting the drawing before I lose the nerve to, because I'm really bad about sharing my art and get nervous doing so.)

That's a very beautiful drawing.
