Day Four

Day Five
In your own space, talk about a creator. Show us why you think they are amazing.

I'm counting Day Four done, as I'd inadvertently filled the prompt a couple times very shortly before it went live.

Day Five:
Gwenniel sprang first to mind, as I was recently checking deviantArt (which I don't do frequently enough) and found both art and writing by her that I really enjoyed.  Gwen posts a lot of Tolkien--mainly Silmarillion--as well as Naruto (which I cannot claim any knowledge of).  Her writing is insightful, and she has a distinctive art style with great use of soft colors and shadow.  She writes/draws a lot of Elves, but, being what I am, I'm choosing something else to recommend:
Story: "Of Eru and Melkor" (philosophical and not-quite-rosy view of the nature of Eru)
Art: Thuringwethil.  I love this character design!
