Finrod Felagund, son of Finarfin.

Not sure whether I'll continue the series like this, I've got several picture ideas in my head for the Silmarillion - so the series is probably complete, but the Silmarillion rampage probably continues.

Oh, and if anyone says he looks like Legolas: That's not true. Orly!Legolas looks like him. I remember seeing the first images of Orlando Bloom as Legolas and thinking, that's not Legolas, it's Finrod! They seem to be using the same hair conditioner, though.

Drew this on the playground and had a little crowd of kids standing around me. That was a lot of fun, though I got very little done. My own kids never understand what the commotion is about, they seem to be thinking: What's the deal with a mother sitting on the playground drawing pretty Elves - don't their mothers draw like this, or what?

Finrod. Now there's an Elf-Lord you can trust. Good guy.

Never realized he was blond though. And super-blond at that. XD Makes sense, I jsut never thought about it.

Maybe this is because I come from a country where a signficant amount of people are blond, but I just feel there's a bit of a lack of nuance between various shades of blondeness in art around the world. You're either platinum yellow or you're brown haired, it seems. Makes it a bit hard for us middle-blond people. *sadface*

(I do not think he looks like Legolas...just maybe something with the hair^^) I love this Finrod, very majestic and all, true brother of Galadriel!

On the contrary, I don't think it looks like Orlando Bloom at all, nor the other way around. I dont know if that's good or bad, probably it's neither, they just look completely different, although yes, same hair conditioner. I've never read the silmarillion (it's still on my shelf, waiting for it's turn) and so I don't know who Finrod is, but I can tell you with all the certainty that he looks truly absolutely beautiful! Hell, give him golden eyes and split pupils and he looks like my main male character Rassan Targ'iareen, and believe me, that is a huge complement!

So many dear names and pretty faces... My heart hurts whenever I'm reminded of Silmarillion, which is probably why I read it so rarely and get all the characters confused. ^^;
