Description
"She was proud, strong, and selfwilled, as were all the descendants of FinwΓ« save Finarfin; and like her brother Finrod, of all her kin the nearest to her heart, she had dreams of far lands and dominions that might be her own to order as she would without tutelage. Yet deeper still there dwelt in her the noble and generous spirit of the Vanyar, and a reverence for the Valar that she could not forget. From her earliest years she had a marvellous gift of insight into the minds of others, but judged them with mercy and understanding, and she withheld her goodwill from none save only FΓ«anor. In him she perceived a darkness that she hated and feared, though she did not perceive that the shadow of the same evil had fallen upon the minds of all the Noldor, and upon her own."JRR Tolkien, Unfinished Tales, "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn"
Long time without drawing something related to The Lord of the Rings. I had in mind Galadriel since a long time but was so afraid a doing something featuring her! Cate Blanchett is so amazing portraying her, I was fearing destroying both the actress and the character
Hope you like it!

Yes the qeen of the qeens, I donΒ΄t thinks there will a more fairer and nobler Galadriel than that one played by Cate Blanchett
I think the picture is very good. The paterns on her dress are beatifull and complete her radiance

The coloring and shading is exquisite 11/10
the facial features are coarse and un realistic 5/10 (sorry )
the lighting is also perfect 9/10
A request, that siggy/tattoo (upper left) affects the beauty of this work, should have been smaller and in the lower right corner and the more vague the better

Magic! I truly love that scene in the movie!
"In place of a Dark Lord you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair."
"... Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."
