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.

You'd think that, with their vastly superior magical abilities, the elves would have been able to regrow or at least reattach the guys hand.

Elven superiority my ass.

Have you read the book?

~TheLastIronMan Oct 29, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Yes, unfortunately, but I'm just poking fun.

=Gold-Seven Oct 30, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

All right; I just needed to know which answering strategy to employ.

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!
