Ilvanyë as depicted in the First Age, then a soldier of the exiled Noldorin host. This portrait was commissioned by Ilvanyë's family and painted in the days leading up to the Dagor Bragollach in commemoration of what was to be a victory for the forces of Fingolfin, Maedhros, and Finrod, but as history shows, war was rarely ever so simple.
The current whereabouts of this portrait are unknown, but it is presumably lost for all time.
Reverence or attachment to one's armoury is not something Hravanis understands or practices. She values ruthless practicality and speed, especially in the field, and will rarely hold onto the same sword or piece of armour if it is broken beyond it's purpose. Perhaps she will mend something, if she has the time, but more than likely she will deem it a waste.
I wanted to try detailing early Feanorian/Noldo Armour with a kind of Spartan leaning. I imagine after they began trading with the dwarves and working Mithril themselves, these kinds of molded chestplates would have become less common but I think the aesthetic certainly works.
The only known image supposedly inspired by i arben na Aran. This deduction is still suspect, the piece is heavily damaged, but the detailing in the armour appears to be reminiscent of the rank she held within the armies at Hithlum and the artist, Eithedir Nothion, was known specifically for his bend toward militaristic muses and Fëanorion sympathies.
