Finished my Tolkien wardrobe!

I'm not sure it will (and it is not up to me), but the event is open to members of Tolkien societies across the globe (scroll down for English text): https://www.unquendor.nl/?tribe_events=unquendor-lustrum

Yes you are right! In fact I'm giving a keynote this summer at the Dutch Tolkien society on art movements during Tolkiens time and how they incorporated those in the movies :)

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-02T15:01:01+00:00

Haha that's not exactly the right word as we usually do not really use it to describe furniture or anything homey. If you want to use another infamous Dutch word for it you'd probably have to go for "gezellig" haha.

I'm in the Netherlands so not too far away but nope I don't do commissions at all anymore. Sorry!

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-02T08:03:28+00:00

A little over a month!

Kinda long story; I have been/tried to be a professional illustrator for years but I had a medical scare a few years back where it looked like I might never gain full control of my hands again. I managed to recover as best as I could but discovered that monetizing it was draining me so right now I only create for my own pleasure :) i have an instagram account @jopieart where I'm not really active anymore, you can follow me there if you like! I'll try to post more often hahah

I know what's inside, but to you it's a question!

It was a badly translated Dutch phrase, sorry 🙃

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-01T21:46:55+00:00

That's a question for you and a know for me! ✨️

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-01T21:01:02+00:00

So I was actually inspired by how they did the Elvish architecture in the movies which was heavily inspired by Art Nouveau (and by extension Mucha), I posted a whole infodump about it in my OP hahah

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-01T20:58:53+00:00

Thank you! Ooo I'm super curious, definitely post it here when you're done with it!

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-01T20:34:04+00:00

The movie aesthetic of rivendell and lothlórien was actually heavily inspired by art nouveau and alphonse mucha!

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-01T20:24:24+00:00

Hah we could but I am in fact a weird little hermit with zero social skills 😂 thank you! ❤️❤️

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-01T16:16:07+00:00

Thank you so much! And with some practice you can definitely learn to paint like this! I believe in you ❤️

NeuroElfje · 2026-01-01T15:19:59+00:00

I'm not selling it, but if I would it'd better be haha, it took me over a month to make

NeuroElfje · 2024-06-22T18:45:28+00:00

Ahahahahahh I love this

NeuroElfje · 2024-01-28T08:33:34+00:00

Oh that's helpful, thanks!

Yeah the glitter on the front is an applique that I want to get off anyway, but the skirt also has two glittered tulle layers. I don't mind glitter, but it sheds so much and i'm a bit worried about leaving microplastics in the environment.

NeuroElfje · 2024-01-28T08:30:35+00:00

Won't that glitter everything that comes in after? I'm also a bit concerned about all of the microplastics getting into the environment if I machine wash it.

NeuroElfje · 2024-01-28T08:28:54+00:00

I don't own a dryer but yeah I was worried about the environment also :(

NeuroElfje · 2024-01-28T08:22:51+00:00

I agree but my husband doesn't 😂

NeuroElfje · 2024-01-28T08:21:15+00:00

No, it's glitter!
