Silmarillion Heraldry Icons

[ermingarden]

Ten transparent icons made from Tolkien's heraldic designs for Silmarillion characters:

Idril	Lúthien	Lúthien (alternate)	Melian	Elwë
Finwë	Finarfin	Finrod	Bëor	Gil-Galad

Drop them on top of a background of your choice, or just use as-is like I do!

(Finrod's heraldry looks so different from the others because it's in the Mannish rather than the Elvish style; meanwhile, Bëor's has a fairly Elvish design. Perhaps they designed them for each other?)

I am constantly in awe of what a good amateur artist JRRT was.

[ermingarden]

I know, right? I love his artwork so much! I hear they're coming out with a new edition of the Silm with JRRT's illustrations, and as much as I love the copy of the Silm I have, I'm going to be sorely tempted....

Thank you so much for doing these, they're so good.

[anerea]

These are lovely.

I like your idea that Finrod and Beor designed each other’s devices. I must admit that I've always wished Finrod had a more stylised design.

Pretty!

[singe]

Those are gorgeous! Definitely the sort of crest I want.

Ohhhhhhhh! Hmmmmm......................

Might take some, will credit!

[hhimring]

Lovely!
I like the suggestion about Finrod and Beor.

[ermingarden]

Please take some – that's what they're here for!

[ermingarden]

Thank you!

I've never written anything Finrod-focused, but I might put together a little something about this....

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, very pretty!

[ermingarden]

Thank you!!

[ermingarden]

Thank you!

I don't know if JRRT ever drew Finrod's elvish heraldry, but I think he did have one – though he seems to have used the Mannish-style one more, which I think is very sweet.

[ermingarden]

Thanks!

[ermingarden]

Thank you! I really enjoyed making them <3

[ermingarden]

They are, aren't they? JRRT was such a good artist!

[ermingarden]

:D

[chestnut_pod]

Oh, what fun!

[chestnut_pod]

I just saw an actual paper preorder form for it on the front counter of my local bookstore this morning, right next to the LOTR Jirt-illustrated edition *_*

I was SOOOO tempted.

[ermingarden]

:D

Those are gorgeous! I'm saving nearly all of them for my icon hoard. I want to start using at least one, but first I'd have to decide which . . .

[ermingarden]

Yay!!! I'm glad to hear you like them so much!

[bunn]

They are lovely!
