[AI and Photoshop] Finarfin. Fëanor/Finarfin. Sören/Anthony.

Finarfin, three images










Fëanor/Finarfin, five images














Today is November 8th, 2024. On this date, in 2019, my OC Anthony made his first appearance in my Learning To Fly universe [under my previous pseud Verhalen], in my fic After the Rain; the day after I began writing Rain Falls, my longest work to date at 298k words, and in hindsight one of the most emotionally intense and complicated things I've ever written.

My multiverse has expanded and evolved considerably since then and Sören and Anthony have starred in many different fics where they find each other time and again across different universes under different circumstances - a collection of Sören/Anthony fics can be found here. As much as I enjoy writing The Squad in different relationship configurations, I admittedly find the most satisfaction in writing these two together, and as troubled as our current times are here in the US - I now have to detransition for my own personal safety [this is not up for debate and I will block you if you argue with me about it, also I'd really rather not discuss the events of the last few days at all, thanks] - I will continue on and keep writing Sören and Anthony being unapologetically queer and gay as fuck for each other as long as I am able. ✊🏳️‍🌈

Also, SemperViridis helped me edit this last set of images in summer 2024 before I got a software upgrade that makes it easier for me to edit things myself.

[AI and Photoshop] Seaside Garden: Finarfin

Three images, combination AI and work in photoshop.

Also, this is a gentle reminder that I'm not "here" anymore. I maintain this account so I can back up/share works on this community and on [community profile] flameborn_archive [fic] and there are a handful of posts on my now-defunct blog that are deliberately public. But I've had enough negative experiences here, including being doxxed [again] this year, that I no longer feel safe updating my blog with my personal business, it's too much of an infosec risk, and I'm not checking my Reading page anymore to minimize my exposure to news/politics triggers. If you want to keep me in the loop about something, your best bet is to either leave me a comment here with a link to the post you want me to look at [exception: please do not share news/politics posts with me, especially if it concerns anti-trans news or Israel-Palestine discourse], or send me an e-mail [I have a locked sticky post with my e-mail on it].

[AI] Black Finarfin and the Fëanorions

I did this all on one day because I got started on this a week late and I have a schedule for what to post when [Fingon and Russingon are tomorrow].

While these are individual "chapters" on Colors Of Quintessence, I am posting them all on one here to make my life easier.

nine images behind cut, because Maedhros got three )

In The Light Of Laurelin v. 2.0: Finarfin


DumpsterPhoenix [Verhalen] with help from SemperViridis, September 2022. Updated from the original in August 2021.


DP note: The reason for the update is because I decided to make this a painting by Sören in chapter 31 of OnlyMags [it's a fantasy portrait of Anthony as a "swan prince" with blond hair, and Sören doesn't quite know yet there's a reason why he feels compelled to make this and he's seeing into a deeper reality].
