Completely repainted this in liquid watercolours on Canson paper.

"But the jewel burned the hand of Maedhros in pain unbearable; and he perceived that it was as Eönwë had said, and that his right thereto had become void, and that the oath was vain. And being in anguish and despair he cast himself into a gaping chasm filled with fire, and so ended; and the Silmaril that he bore was taken into the bosom of the Earth."

J. R. R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, chapter 24: Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath

I saw it and it inspired my writing some I think. But this is very amazing.

Noooooooo! Maedhros! Eh, what am I kidding? Once they attacked the Havens of the Sirion it was clear they were all gonna die. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
