Black Fingolfin and a Black version of Nicholas, by Verhalen

[ex_flameandsong751]

If you're passingly familiar with my multiverse, you know that in the universes set in the modern era, the three Finwion brothers are reincarnated as human mortals. My OC Nicholas is Fingolfin reincarnated as mortal, and his faceclaim is Sir Christopher Lee. [Here's some very nice art of him my friend SemperViridis did awhile back.]

In an infinite number of universes it makes intuitive sense that my main three OCs would not always be white, and it didn't take much thought to decide a Black version of Nicholas would be "played by" Idris Elba, who is not just a very handsome man but also has that delicious velvet baritone that does things to me, so if/when I ever write Nicholas as Black, this is what he would look like:




You can just hear "as you know" in Idris Elba's voice, looking at him. Also: 🤤🥵

And this is a Black version of Fingolfin, his original incarnation.




He is so beautiful it hurts.

A big thank you to SemperViridis for aging down Idris Elba's face for Fingolfin so we don't run into the "geriatric Elrond" problem [I love Hugo Weaving, but], and also for giving him a grey beard for Nicholas.
