Legolas - original design
Eowyn Ithilien - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 72
Final two requests were for 4th Age characters. For funsies I agreed.
Legolas is demoted Mirkwood with Gondorian stars, while Eowyn (as Lady of Ithilien mayhaps) resembles a shield, has white horses.

Dandelion - original design
Dwarrowdame -original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 71
2 more requests - Dandelion was a current mutual's design which I recreated, but Dwarrowdame was a request using said colors to make something that could be also perhaps Dwarven.

Dwarrowdame
Fair Cloud (FVII) - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 70
So the other sigil made for a specific textual ghost(s), more of the ten Nargothrond soldiers that died with Finrod in Tol-in-Gaurhoth, is also a crossover. 2 SOLDIERS- Fánawë and Bân. Cloud and Fair. FFVII.
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
FFVII
Heledir -original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 69
Heledir, Captain of Nargothrond, one of the ten companions of Finrod and Beren that died in Tol-in-Gaurhoth. I spent a lot of time thinking about these textual ghosts. His name means kingfisher.

Water Lilies 01 - original design
Water Lilies 02 - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 68
Missed a day! Ending soon; most like this are follower requests. In this case, water lilies for a Teleri.
Circle = female, extending the points to make it a lozenge = male or clan.

Tar-Míriel - original design
Simplified Númenórean - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 67
Back to Númenor. I was requested a sigil for Tar-Míriel, last Queen of Númenor, so adapted Elros's sigil. Monochromatic fittingly resembles the Valar's
Then simplified Númenórean for myself
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Tar-Míriel
Númenórean
Ellowen - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 66
Reused the color scheme/concept from Elenwë. Less like Idril's canon design, but stronger. I named it Ellowen, though who that OC is shifted from Elenwë's mother to sister. Glorfindel's mom perhaps?
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Ellowen
Brandy Lily - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 65
Another random design today- lilies and stars and the brandy-red inspired another punny name. Vanyar probably were the monastic equivalents in Valinor, aka inventors of alcohol types like brandy
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Brandy-lily
Sea Leafing 01 - original design
Sea Leafing 02 - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 64
Couldn't decide if this pair was more Vanyar or Teleri, so it became a Vanyar commander and a Falmari captain falling in love during the War of Wrath and starting a family.
And a pun.

Gwindor - original design
Guilin - original design
Gwenniel - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 63
IDK why but Gwindor has a brown/soft green deer vibe.
Later I made a purposefully overwrought sigil for his dad. Think Polonius. Gwenniel is an OC, Gelmir's daughter & Finduilas's friend.

Guilin

Glorfindel - original design
Ecthelion - original design
Duilin - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 62
So about the time I finally started to make the Eldar sigil versions for the (unreleased) Lords of Gondolin - which had conventional heraldric designs from older text, my program died.

Emerald - original design
Emerald Filigree
Silmarillion Sigil Project 61
Last in this series of Old&New where I was learning how to make this style of emblem- then returned to the "Random Noldor" pile to make a matching crossover sigil

Purple - original design
Purple Glass - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 60
Again one of the first designs- a random purple, then returning to the color palette to continue the silly crossover inspiration. First design would work for an unnamed wife, maybe Maglor's...

Red Loops - original design
Red Diamonds - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 59
First is a random design from the early days when I hadn't finished the Finwions, hence the name: Random Red Loops. Returned to it, still in crossover mode, when thinking of red sand.

Sun - original design
Paddle Blades - original design
Cherry Blossoms - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 58
The first one not as obvious as other two which crossover inspired this batch. 🥷
Cherry Blossoms (Sakura already used); hunter of Kinslayer relatives; orc reincarnated as Sunny elf
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Sun
Paddle Blades
Cherry Blossoms
Sakura - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 57
Playing w/ pinks and greens, realized it was a male lozenge, brainstormed what OC would fit, thought of samurai's sakura symbolism. Battle-mad Nandor scout who rescues Elros and Elrond from their kidnappers
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Sakura
Blue Kamon - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 56
A simple one today - monochrome blue roundel (it's so nice when they come with eight points). "Blue" was too generic, so added "Kamon", which better fits Tolkien's heraldry.
Faalindis's family crest, bw

Bortë 01 (First Variant) - original design
Bortë 02 (Númenor Variant) - original design
Bortë 03 (Elbereth Variant) - original design
Bortë 04 (Eärendil Variant) - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 55
More Bortë variants, playing with the color schemes like that of Eärendil or adding the outline of Númenor for its first Queen of Easterling ancestry removed from history

Bortë 05 (House of Bór Variant) - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 54
What happened to the People of Bór? Who was Elros's Wife and why was she not remembered? Twin questions that led to several fics and Bortë. Thus multiple variants on the Vulture & Sun
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Bortë 05 (House of Bór)
Hummingbird - original design
Meleth - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 53
Twice I tried to create a satisfying sigil w/ this color palette inspired by ruby-throated hummingbirds (hence the fuchsias). The second one I arbitrarily gave to Meleth, Eärendil's nurse.
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Hummingbird
Meleth
Saeros - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 52
A request for another resident of Menegroth, Nandor this time with the requisite greens. It's Saeros of Narn fame, so hints of moon sliver for his father Ithilbor and beech leaves for Neldoreth.
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Saeros
Daeron - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 51
The Greatest Musician Ever, also created a writing system. A serious rival to Fëanor imho. Flawed, but at least not inventor of heinous war crimes.
Daeron's sigil has niphredil and the 'd' Cirth
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Daeron
Beleg - original design
Mablung -original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 50
Those Two Dudes of Menegroth - Beleg Cúthalion and Mablung of the Heavy Hand. Beleg has yew leaves and berries and the bow shape for his longbow, Mablung has his heavy ax on Iathrim-Sindar greens.

Mablung
Silmarillion Sigil Project 49
A fun one today - was asked to make an orange/brown design. Originally aiming for owl or bat- but then a fox-like face emerged. Decided to lean into it and make an 8tail kitsune. No idea what elf this is...

Nimloth - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 48
Realized I'd forgotten in my reshuffle one of my Sindar royals- so here she is, the white flower herself, Dior's wife and second queen of Menegroth, Nimloth
#tolkien #silmarillion #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Nimloth
Amdir - original design
Nimrodel - original design
Mithrellas - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 47
Returned to Lothlorien to make Amdir (Amroth's father in the versions where he isn't Galadriel's son), hence same colors and seed pod motif. Then Nimrodel, Mithrellas to complete set
#tolkien #silmarillion #lotr #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry

Amroth - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 46
The trouble with Lothlorien today - Amroth is either the natural son of Celeborn and Galadriel or adopted, so he has the Arafinwion center in a green with white flowers
#tolkien #silmarillion #lotr #sigilproject #fantasyheraldry
Amroth
Valar - original design
Valar (colored) - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 45
A few years ago on tumblr there was a Valar Appreciation event which ended up adopting this symbol that I made when, for game purposes, I needed a device to symbolize the Valar as a whole.

Voronwë - original design

Voronwë today. Could have done something with willows, but went w/ a blue version of his father for the sea.

Snow Lilies - original design
Poppies - original design
Silmarillion Sigil Project 43
Two original flowers today: Snowlillies is paired with Winterfell - the eldest red-haired daughter who stayed in Valinor. Poppies are just because I like Art Nouveau, no character assigned
