Maedhros and Maglor, after Maedhros' rescue from Thangorodrim. Maedhros is slowly coming to terms with being alive, and being maimed.


From J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, though this scene in question was sparked by my own fanfic: [link]

Why the sword? Fëanoreans don't send get well cards. They send get well swords.

Painted with Dr Martin's Liquid watercolours on Canson paper. Look! I can do green now! Even turquoise!

Argh. I'll never understand what goes on in those people. "Poor Maedhros has been through so much! So the first thing he'll want is sex with every male relative this side of the Sea!" :iconfacepalmplz:

This is so sad and beautiful. I love the relationship of the two brothers (and yeah, no, shipping them is all kinds of wrong) and your artwork is just so lovely.

I would like to say "so cute!!!" but well, it isn't really the appropriate expression. But I love the bond between this two brothers. (and a get well sword is much more usefull than a get well card^^)

The get-well sword probably only made things worse. :/

It makes me sad that you have to put that stamp on things like this and (cringe) the one of Maedhros in prison. Can people not understand that a brother can hug his brother and it not be incest? SIGH. The colors in this are really rich and beautiful, especially on Maglor, and the emotions are quite poignant. :( I JUST WANT TO HUG THEM ALL.
