My boyyyyy *cries* Ooh poor Maedhros. His pain is really shining through here.
I love how his hair looks kind of dishevelled. It adds to the whole atmosphere that he's not doing so great.

Oh I love poor Maedhros too... I keep drawing sad Maedhros, but I should try to do more of him happy!

Sad Maedhros is the easiest to draw, I have to say. Because there's so much angst there. But I love to see happy Maedhros.

A whole hand and not just a hook! Yes, Curufin could do it.

And Celebrimbor could do a nice magical golden hand of power! So there will be the Lord of Hands!

yes, and I think of all the sad, tragic Silmarillion elves, Maedhros gets that response the most. (Maglor might be a close second)

yes, the poor darling. (Sad, but it's easier to draw him in pain than to draw him happy.)

true plus I believe that it adds a larger possibility for the meaning behind the art.

He's still beautiful, no matter how scarred. And he's our darling, isn't he?

Thank you! Nice handle you have there. Means "forever green/young"? Sounds elven!

Haha, yes!! Stayed up till 2 a.m. last night grading scripts. Was able to get this finished today!
(If you want to know, this was my original idea for your birthday present - but then I decided art for birthdays should be happy and cheerful!)
