Description Finished! Took a long time, but worth the results. Done with prismacolor pencils and graphite

Original line art (which is my own, but if someone else wants to color it, you can XD) is here: [link]

Anyone who is familiar with the original picture will see that the color scheme of the background is cooler; that is intentional, I added grey to basically all of it so Arwen would especially stand out.

Hardest part of the whole picture? The frakking floor, at least drawing it. Coloring wise, probably the face, to get all those tones. The bg was not bad at all, surprisingly.

Comments, critique, etc is appreciated.

Yea, Aragorn is my fave character ever And this drawing is still one of my faves XD They couldn't have chosen a better person for the role; Viggo was fabulous. To think he was brought on last minute!

I probably said this before, I honestly cannot remember whether I commented on it or not, but you are an amazing artist, and this piece is as lovely as Tolkien described Arwen to be... Very good work! You have my admiration and respect (especially for being patient enough to draw the floor tiles...).

Haha, yeah, patterns are always a nightmare, I thought it would be the dress, though. Fantastic colour scheme.

AinuLaire In reply to CrystalEnceladus [2010-02-12 05:02:27 +0000 UTC]

Heh, no, the dress was easy- there was no repetitive pattern which gave me leeway, and the details on the collar were so small that it didn't matter XD The floor, though, was large... and the same... ugh XD
