A very fun commission already finished a while ago, for Amanda. Liquid watercolours on Canson paper, A5 size.
Celegorm is from J. R. R. Tolkien's Silmarillion.
Commission info:
[link]Hair colour blurb: Celegorm is frequently portrayed as blond, for his epithet "the fair". "Fair" in Tolkien's writings usually has nothing to do with hair colour but beauty. Because of the rather conspicuous juxtaposition with his younger brother Caranthir the dark, I go back and forth with his hair colour, though I usually draw him with very light brown hair.
Hair length and colour were the commissioner's wishes in this one, and I was fine with both. And now can we please cut this?

"Then Celegorm arose amid the throng (p. 169). In QS this is followed by 'golden was his long hair'. In the Lay at this point (line 1844) Celegorm has 'gleaming hair'; his Old English name was Cynegrim Fœgerfeax ('Fair-hair'), IV. 213. The phrase was removed in The Silmarillion text on account of the dark hair of the Noldorin princes other than in 'the golden house of Finarfin' (see I. 44); but he remains 'Celegorm the fair' in The Silmarillion p. 60."
*Jaw drops* WOW..... I ..... I’m speachless.... Mind if I stare and drool? Didn’t think so
Still a very nice drawing though.
