Artist's Comments

A scene I haven't drawn in ten years: Fingon rescues Maedhros from Thangorodrim. Yes, I'm aware that there are several things wrong with this--I wanted them to be in Mithrim already, but green hills totally threw this pic off composition. And Maedhros looks just a bit too good for fifty years' of hanging from one hand. Sue me. :p

Watercolour and Photoshop (and a bit of pencil).

This is so great... you're very gifted. It's true that Maedhros looks too healthy but I don't really mind :P :+fav: for sure

Where do you mean?

Wow, this is really good! and to the person who commented above me, I don't think it looks distorted. It's hard to draw perfect realism when you're not actually looking at a photograph (and hard even then! lol)

Awww! I have to read Silmarillion again after I'm done with the book I'm reading now. I really do love Silmarillion (even though it's almost like a history book) :giggle:

Anyway, the picture is amazing! I love the way you use watercolour and the paper texture really gives this a very raw and "handmade original" look. I love that!

Heh, I admire your patience with the chainmail (it IS a pain to make chanmail inntit)?
Overall a really good picture, favvy, fav. :)

Actually, no. :) I'm known for my lack of patience with detail. :) This is a kind of "chainmail shorthand"; it's fast and looks pretty good.

I wouldn't even call this realism, strictly. :)
