Maglorby =Gold-Seven

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

Maglor, second son of Fëanor. It's staggering to think that my design for him is almost twenty years old. I remember being very proud of it back in the day - a combination of soft features (eyes, mouth) and very masculine ones to balance it (eyebrows, jawline, nose). One of the few character designs of mine that was able to survive the ages.

Keep your fingers crossed that I'm able to do some more while the holidays last! Fëanor and Maedhros are already waiting in line...

Maglor is a character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Silmarillion.

Winsor&Newton watercolours in Moleskine sketchbook, though most of the stuff in there doesn't really meet the definition of "sketch".

This was painted in the playground though, so it qualifies anyway. And who knew how much of a geek detector painting on a park bench could be! The nice woman with her toddler who sat next to me outed herself for a LARPer and we had a wonderful little chat there. I'd never have known!

This is an awesome picture! Well done!

(Maglor, forget all I told about the others, you're my only love for ever ever after!)
A wondeful one, even if I'm not objective at all!^^ I really love the way you represent him!

Thank you! I love drawing him.

I wish I could favorite this more than once!!!

When I was 14 (7 years ago!), most of the girls on councilofelrond.com had "dibs" or "claims" on certain characters. I chose Maglor. Your art has always made me feel like I made a good choice.

I like this version even better than the one you painted of him with his harp.

I really think you've captured his essence amazingly well - not to mention that your watercolors are always over-the-top gorgeous.

Thanks for giving the Silmarillion-oriented community amazing art!

Beautifully Done!!!

I love it! I'm off to look at the others! The series is brilliant!

~elviella May 11, 2011

This is a very good design, indeed! I like the thought and detail you put into it.

The colour scheme looks wonderful, too - I love the warm tones.

=Gold-Seven May 13, 2011 Professional Traditional Artist

I really love those too

Did I comment on this? I should have commented on it. If I didn't comment on it I think I was in a state of emotional trauma. *Ahem* Back to my reaction...

EEEEEEEE I LOVE HIM!

The jawline! *Dies of heart failure*

Sorry.
