:icongold-seven:
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. :deviation: I will never paint with anything else again.

I love every aspect of it!
You made Maedhros come alive for me. He is one of my favourite characters.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful art with us!

It's been a while since I've last seen some of your pictures and it's incredible how much better you've become! And they already were great quite some time ago^^ Your progress is really inspiring me to try and draw a bit more again.
You're such an incredible artist and I'm so glad you're obsessed with the Silmarillion ...and especially Maedhros (I LOVE the Feanorians!)

Wonderful, simply wonderful. Nice job drawing this whole thing at an angle, although I think it would've looked just as good if it was straightened out. I love the detail of the armor and the sword belt. Awesome work on the hands and face, he really looks like he's going to kill something...a lot of somethings. Everything you did here is awesome! :D
Are these amazing watercolors and paper you used hard to come by?
