Description Question- If a Mairon cries alone and chained in the dark of the Halls of Mandos and no one is there, does he really make a sound?  I guess he has his tears for company.  Tears enough to form a pool of regret, remorse, and bitterness.

Due to being made aware of an angsty contest prompt over on Month of Mairon's tumblr I felt a need to join in.  I mean, I love angst.  I love Mairon. I love putting the two together.  So I just thought I'd toy around with what could eventually happen to Mairon after his fall should he be scooped up by the Valar.

Thanks girl!  I had a lot of fun messing with color and I actually liked how it turned out (hence the reason I've been toying with color more XD)  Good!  Because I wanted this to just be a giant helping of angsty sadness so I'm glad I managed to get that right.

Well I won but next to no one entered so that's the only reason I won LOL! and I got this fabulous little fellow as a prize. ---> hazelnutshippingco.tumblr.com/…   Hazel crocheted my version of Mairon which was totally awesome and I can't wait to hug the little bastard in person.

 with colors... Poor Mairon alone in these dark halls 
 You make us to have pity and even love for him after all what he made, you are really very strong

LOL. Well I don't know if I am strong for essentially dedicating myself to trying to make people feel as bad for Mairon as I do.  Maybe more like crazy? Definitely crazy dedicated. And just straight crazy. XB

Thank you so much!  I'm not one to usually color tbh but I'm considering playing around with it a bit more now.  At least on simple pieces.

Oh, please do so. I love your work, and with colour even more. Makes a great addition.

Oh yeah, now we can get to all those details Tumblr's resolution is too crappy to access!  Poor Maia, he looks so precarious and discomforted!  I think I'm developing an obsession with freckles hitherto unsuspected in my sub-conscious - and I'm blaming you, ha!  I agree with the blogger who says you should experiment with color more often - you've got a lovely eye for tones and shading...the angst ripples out in waves of despair and grief!  Thank you so much!  I never realized how much I needed nekkid Mairon in my life 'til now!

LOL. Blame me (or Valinwhore. or the hundred other artists that give Mai freckles. XP) all you want for your freckle obsession.  I can't help that I like tiny fleshy blemishes.  Ohhhh, I'm considering experimenting with color some more.  I've had a few people I know personally tell me to color more too.  We'll see.

LOL. You're welcome?  Everyone should have nekkid Mairon in their life.  I'm just glad I could fill your life with Mai's soft little tush.
