Fëanor! I feel I haven't done him justice in decades. I really like how he turned out here.

Fëanor is a character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Silmarillion. (And I cannot, ever, imagine him with long hair.)

Winsor&Newton watercolours on parkbench. Watercolour sketchbook, sorry. :D

"Aaaaargh! Cut it off, cut it off!"
"Sure you want to marry *him*?"
"I'm not marrying him for his long hair, Atar, but for his other qualities."
"CUT IT OFF ALREADY!"
"Which... being?!"
"Oh, shut up and give me those scissors..."

You know, up until I saw this, I'd always pictured Feanor with typically long, elvish hair. I really like the idea of him with short hair! He looks very proud and determined here ^-^ Now THIS is Feanor!

haha, thanks :) I just can't envision him with long hair. Feanor is such a no-nonsense person, I can't imagine him preening himself in any way. :D

You're welcome!
True, very true. Not to mention that catching it in the forge might be a little painful xD

I always imagined Feanor with stronger jaw than here, also here the neck gets thinner as you go downwards indicating a slim body - whilst Feanor was a blacksmith as I recall and a man of war (well elf but whatever:D) ...

Do you have a drawing of Feanor in full body armor? With the silmarils perhaps?

I don't seem to have it up on dA. It was an old, bad image I probably deleted everywhere. ;)

I never thought an Elf's strength would show in his physique as much as a human's. It doesn't fit my mental image of Elves. It's true that the Silmarillion Elves are a very warlike people, a lot of whom stood up to Balrogs, even, but I still always imaged them as lithe in stature.

I thought his hair was red... Like the fire in his heart that is his essence
