I do not know who suggested Aulë and Yavanna in the Viking style. Thank you very much for the idea, without even knowing who you are. I tried, I do not know if I understood the idea, and that’s how it stayed.
Excuse me if I did not get close to expectations, but it was the first draft of the idea of Aulë and Yavanna (style) Viking, an attempt.
Long time no see… so have some imaginary of the Valar Aule and Yavanna.
I’ve my own thoughts and ideas why I drew them the way they’re shown but I’m gonna keep it for later :>
And the voice of Ilúvatar said to him: ‘Why hast thou done this? Why dost thou attempt a thing which thou knowest is beyond thy power and thy authority? For thou hast from me as a gift thy own being only, and no more; and therefore the creatures of thy hand and mind can live only by that being, moving when thou thinkest to move them, and if thy thought be elsewhere, standing idle. Is that thy desire?’
Then Aulë answered: ‘I did not desire such lordship. I desired things other than I am, to love and to teach them, so that they too might perceive the beauty of Eä, which thou hast caused to be. For it seemed to me that there is great room in Arda for many things that might rejoice in it, yet it is for the most part empty still, and dumb. And in my impatience I have fallen into folly. Yet the making of thing is in my heart from my own making by thee; and the child of little understanding that makes a play of the deeds of his father may do so without thought of mockery, but because he is the son of his father. But what shall I do now, so that thou be not angry with me for ever? As a child to his father, I offer to thee these things, the work of the hands which thou hast made. Do with them what thou wilt. But should I not rather destroy the work of my presumption?’
Then Aulë took up a great hammer to smite the Dwarves; and he wept. But Ilúvatar had compassion upon Aulë and his desire, because of his humility; and the Dwarves shrank from the hammer and wore afraid, and they bowed down their heads and begged for mercy. And the voice of Ilúvatar said to Aulë: ‘Thy offer I accepted even as it was made. Dost thou not see that these things have now a life of their own, and speak with their own voices? Else they would not have flinched from thy blow, nor from any command of thy will.’
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, “Of Aulë and Yavanna”
Aulë, husband of Yavanna. Goliosi requested Mahal so here is my take on him, done to match his wife. Most famous for “oops I made the dwarves Eru please adopt them look how beardy they are”
Hoy subo la segunda página, que habla de la creación de las Lámparas y la construcción del mundo. Arriba sale Aulë construyendo la base de una Lámpara y abajo Varda llenándolas de luz.
“Levantaron una de las lámparas cerca del norte de la Tierra Media y le dieron el nombre de Illuin; y la otra la levantaron en el sur, y le dieron el nombre de Ormal, y la luz de las Lámparas de los Valar fluyó sobre la Tierra, de manera que todo quedó iluminado como si estuviera en un día inmutable.”

Today I upload the second page, which talks about the creation of the lamps and the construction of the world. Above, Aulë builds the base of a Lamp and down Varda filling them with light.
“One lamp they raised near to the north of Middle-earth, and it was named Illuin; and the other was raised in the south, and it was named Ormal; and the light of the Lamps of the Valar flowed out over the Earth, so that all was lit as it were in a changeless day”
