It’s time for the final instalment in my Tower of Orthanc
Inspired outfits or at least what Tuilinel offers for Isengard. Here we have a
Tuilinel free of the White Wizards influence an Elf of power revealed in Glory
and Wrath to face down the Fallen Istari Saruman of Many Colours.
This outfit is heavily inspired by Material middle-earth’s
Shimmering Song (link to page http://materialmiddleearth.blogspot.com/2017/05/shimmering-song.html).
It was this outfit formed the base for a problem I had wrestled with a few weeks
while designing my Rise of Isengard outfit arch for Tuilinel and that was how
best to use the Shimmering cloak’s in this succession obviously it had it be
part of the Finale however the Raid gear has a Dark base colour effecting all
of its dyes meaning I wouldn’t be able to get a light enough palate to make the
Cloak seem like an extension of the outfit not a huge draw for the eye, see
while I love the shimmering cloaks too often do I see them as the highlight of
a cosmetic a bold statement cloak on an otherwise dark outfit, now undeniably
this can look amazing but it’s not what I wanted. So thank you Shimmering Song
for showing me the wonder of pastels.
From the aforementioned outfit I took the idea of using
the Robe of the Learned Stag in a lovely lavender, now before we go any
further, I have a love hate relationship with this dye too often is it baby
pink and not the calming Lavender I desire so I rarely find use for it or even
think of it honestly so it’s nice to give it purpose here at the very least. But
anyway so with a centre chest piece settled and a cloak already predetermined I
began one of my favourite pass times accessorising, I wanted spiky so I got the
spikiest cosmetics I could find, the finest spiky Mordor had to offer (which
dyed light enough). After my Accessorising with most things spiky, it was
done, my Tuilinel was ready to beat Saruman with the kin on T2. Which happened
about 4 weeks later in which I hid this outfit from my companions to spring on
them after Saruman’s defeat, which happened on a raid I wasn’t apart of so I proudly
stood on that high rock I Galtrev awaiting their return and once the gazed upon
my wondrous visage they said it was nice… I’ve come to the realisation like,
Mendel, Galileo and Van Gogh before me I’m a visionary whose work will only be appreciated
after my demise. Well at least I’ll look good in the Hall of Mandos.
