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.

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.

Non-straight-long-haired Elves were actually more common before the Jackson movies. :)
