“Curufin the crafty … who was of perilous mood.”
From JRR Tolkien’s Silmarillion
Sketch of Curufin, favourite son of Fëanor (who made the Silmarils and started lots of trouble), and father of Celebrimbor (who made the Elven rings and ended in lots of trouble).
Called ‘the Crafty’ – possibly because he was good with his hands, possibly because he was a devious git.
Also tried to shoot Luthien, twice.
Fëanor had many gifts, apparently parenting wasn’t one of them.
And the un-coloured sketch:
