Scion of Kings
Colored version of the "Scion of Kings" - Ereinion Gil-galad as the son of Fingon after The Silmarillion (top) and the son of Orodreth after The History of Middle-earth vol. XII (bottom). Originally b&w illustration to a polemics on Gil-galad's parentage in the 20th jubilee issue of the Polish almanac "Aiglos". Heraldry in the back represents the fathers, while the emblem on the shield is Gil-galad's own. Gil-galad's epessë Ereinion means "Scion of Kings" - thus the title - he is is literally a scion of kings by the unsolved parentage question and by the given honorific title. Painter & Photoshop 2015/2019.

Liar
Nordic Loki in modern times, inspired by the Liar (Kłamca) by Jakub Ćwiek, avaliable in English via Amazon:
Contrary to Nietzsche, God is not dead, but he is gone and just doesn't seem to be coming back soon. In these difficult times, unexpected alliances are formed. Such is the one between Loki, the Norse god of lies who survived the fall of Valhalla, and angels, trying to keep order in new reality. There are cases that cannot be solved with a halo over your head and it is where the trickster god feels at his best. He seems content making a career as an errand boy for angels, but can you trust the Liar?
There is an alternative version of this illustration in the Monochromatic gallery.

Lost in Helcaraxë
Then Fingolfin seeing that Fëanor had left him to perish in Araman or return in shame to Valinor was filled with bitterness; but he desired now as never before to come by some way to Middle-earth, and meet Fëanor again. (...) and finding no other way they endured at last the terror of the Helcaraxë and the cruel hills of ice. Few of the deeds of the Noldor thereafter surpassed that desperate crossing in hardihood or woe."
– J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Chapter 9: "Of the Flight of the Noldor"
