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.

He's a compelling one, isn't he? :)

Yesyesyes. His name has this ring, and his story is so tragic, and he's so strong...

Fixation? LOOK AT HIM. He is gorgeous. Like a movie star, except actually awesome instead of just pretending to be awesome. Your "fixation" is fully and unequivocally warranted.

Don't worry, you're not the only one with a Maedhros fixation. :XD: Beautiful! I love the sepia tone, and his pose and the embroidery on his clothing...! To die for!

...I must admit to being a little miffed. He's prettier than I am, and I'm a girl! ;)

This is where I feel in LOVE with you amazing art work - everything I look at it, it takes away my breath and I want to curl up and cry. It's just so moving.

Wow, I really love the pencils. And at the risk of sounding the hopeless American, I had no idea you could use vodka for that! :O
