There will be blood.by =Gold-Seven

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Paintings / Books & Novels

For the first time in over a hundred years, Morgoth sends his forces to breach the leaguer the Noldor have drawn around Angband.

For the first time since his torture upon Thangorodrim and the subsequent loss of his hand, Maedhros is going into battle.

Not a single Orc will leave that battlefield alive.

From J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion.

Dr Martin's liquid watercolours on Canson Montval paper.

I will never paint with anything else again.

"Kill them. Kill them all."

That's the vibes I'm getting from this image, anyways!

Yeah-please don't, if this is the result you get with Dr Martin's. Amazing!! His expression is fantastic!

Holy armor and embroidery and leather work and the hair and the colors!!! There's the eldest son of Feanor! (he often feels younger like Amrod and Amras, not just in your work and perhaps rightly so since the middle three are just so dark and brash and moody). Very well done!

Amrod and Amras I always imagine far too young...

Fly you fools Orcs!!!^^ Maedhros is coming! It's a very beautiful drawing, I really love the movement and all.

I just realized Maedhros in my head Looks like Gerard Butler; even your Maedhros looks a bit like him: similar nose same eyes, jaw and chin. It is a good match if they ever make a film about the Silmarillion (never

)
