A sketch for an illustration series for ''Children of Hurin''
I guess, I have to add, that drawing Melian, I've been trying to achieve a certain resemblance with images of Tara. It might be a blasphemy for a Tolkien lover, but that's how I understand her character
Wow, Just wow! that is the face of a divine being. she seems so untouchable, so zen (not a surprise given the buddhist influence) even making your thingol and beleg appear mortal and temporal by comparison. this is aboslutely amazing! Your killin' me Smalls.
I could stare at this for days, literally. It's one of the most beautiful work of art I've ever seen here on DA. I'm lost in every detail, and in her serene, perfect beauty.
