Prayers and HerbsThis life was Aedan's, had been his for as long as he could remember. As soon as he could walk, Maira had taken him on her travels with her. When spring came, they'd set out across Tangnafedd, to all the places where the best herbs grew – wormwood in the hills in the North, basil in Gwylan Bay, lavender on the high fields near Silvermere, St. John's wort in the thickets of pine forests. Aedan helped his mother gather herbs, and prepare the ointments, poultices and infusions following her careful instructions. He knew how most of them were used, though he still often got the amounts wrong. Neither of them could read; the herbs, their name

Maimedby =Gold-Seven

Scraps

Maedhros the Maimed, with the sword he can no longer wield with his right hand.

Yes, I have a serious fixation with him. Deal with it.

Drawn with pencil on Moleskine sketchbook, with added sepia wash. Background texture done with vodka.

Maedhros, as always, is from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion.

I love it !!!! I love that you daw him iwth short hair. You are the only person I've ever seen who draws an elf by Tolkien with short hair. And that's awesome.

I have nothing against long hair, but as it's stated absolutely nowhere by Tolkien, I don't understand why everyone is drawing elves with long straight hair. I have no idea where this idea comes from that they don't cut their hair, living for thousands of years wth the same haircut.

Absolutely amazing! Where did you learn to draw like this?

~Ritiakaramne May 17, 2012

Oh, always keep on with your serious fixation

~Ritiakaramne May 17, 2012

I can very well live with your serious fixation - keep fixed

Haha understandable!! I've had a bit of a fixation with him since I first saw his name, because it is gorgeous. It only got worse as I kept reading. ^.^

Maedhros and vodka - mmmm, perfect combination. Gimme more!
Btw. you should have shared some with him - he looks like he needs a drink at this point in his life...
