Varda - Blog Posts
My attempt of making Varda. I have such a love hate relationship with her, but it all comes down to a deep admiration towards her character. I believe (at least in the bounds of my own headcanon) she always had many traits in common with Melkor himself, but lacked the urge to create, destroy and take for the sake of proving herself to anyone, even to herself. She wielded the power to take as much as she wanted to but she never chose that path and instead helped Manwë with his fair and just rule. That level of maturity and foresight is something Melkor could never achieve. To understand your own desire and capabilities and still holding yourself back for the sake of greater good (and also the level of security she had with herself) is what makes Varda such a unique and beloved character for me. I hope my art didn't do her injustice.
