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. :D

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

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

When a fixation results in such beautiful work, who could mind?

Heh, you should do a piece in coffee and vodka.

What is the difference between using vodka to texture and water?

Vodka creates less "plumage" or "cauliflower" but more exact, round spatters.

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. ^.^
