Description

also to be known as "I don't really want to share this because the proportions are HORRIBLE. BUT FËANOR IN A WHITE HAKAMA *DROOL*".

Seriously, I know the proportions are horseshit. And the hammers should probably be bigger and heavier. And Nerdanel is apparently lefthanded? What can you do.
Vaguely inspired by a B2MeM prompt about admirable traits and their opposites, but it rather went off course and ended up shameless fangirling of traditional Japanese workman clothing. I don't know why, but I adore that style of clothing to no end. I honestly think that the hakama in particular is the sexiest piece of clothing ever invented by mankind. I mean, I endured years of Kendo practice basically just because I love the clothing and armour so much. And because the Noldor with their obsession with knowledge and crafts have always been cast as sort of Japanese in my mind, I finally gave in and drew Nerdanel and Fëanor in that style. Nerdanel is wearing the ordinary, everyday indigo-dyed version while Fëanor is wearing the snow-white variant worn when crafting very special things of almost religious value. It can't be a sword since our darling Elven not-yet-couple is not yet a couple, i.e. we're looking at a time when swords were supposedly unknown. Maybe it's going to be a sickle. Sickles would be associated with Yavanna so they can totally be kind of holy among the Noldor. I mean, there's a constellation named the Sickle and everything. LALALA IN MY WORLD IT MAKES SENSE.

With crappy symbolic background colourscheme to at least vaguely link it to the original prompt. BUT it's Fëanor in a white hakama. Nobody else did it, so I had to.
