Description
I started this little drawing last week, actually it was supposed to be my Tolkien valentines drawing, as is tradition, but I didn't feel like finishing until last night. I also held a little poll on instagram (if you don't already follow me there, what are you waiting for? I post a HELLA lot more art and all my sketches there, as well as updates on my life and hold polls etc! Username same as here!!) and they decided that I should do it in watercolours, so that's why I drew this very simplistic line art instead of shading. (I also had a poll asking whether I should redraw my Thingol and Melian drawing or my Feanor and Finwe drawing, so if you wanna get in on the action head on overNow, the idea:
So, while planning this drawing, it came to me that because they are frozen in time for so many years, it is rather reasonable to assume that the forest grows in around them, kind of like forgotten statues. That inspired me to look on greek statues, hence the clothes, and the add the vines growing on them, as well as the "overgrown" feeling of the frame. I am quite happy with the effect, and I cant wait to colour it. I May hold a poll for what colour palette to use, so keep an eye out on my instagram to have a say!^^
Also, Im sorry, but I really have outgrown Deviant art in general. It doesnt do much in the sense of exposure or exploring for new art. It is discriminating, almost only featuring the same artists over and over (if not only nudes) and I am honestly sick of it. I use deviant mainly because I know a lot of you awesome people are here, and as an online portfolio where I post just my finished art, like it always has been.
So I again hope you'll consider following me on Instagram, and let me know who you are so I can follow you back!^^
Have a great saturday, lovelies <3

And he never returned... Suddenly men vanish from the surface of earth, become invisible for close friends, as soon as they meet a woman.
Okay, we can attribute a part of it to her being a Maiar and having probably bewitching eyes, but still. I mean, all the folks were worried about him. Just no responsibility, tsk, tsk...
Well, at least it looks here like they're totally happy and I could understand that sometimes you're so lost in a dream like this that the outside world just seems to fly by. A few seconds, but in reality seasons have passed.
They both look very tender, maybe even a bit alike from their faces. Hair and cloth seem to flow in each other and the plants and greenery gives it a nice framing.
I will not follow to any FB/IG or whatnot. I hate data krakens like FB. And IG is the home of falsified photos (look at some joke images around the web "reality vs. instagram"), probably narcissists, bad resolution; and don't tell me you get reasonable comments there. So I'll relinquish.

Okay, I don't really give much on daily devs - or do you mean something else? I search. I look out, I discover, sometime's also in other people's favourites. I keep checking by - if my time permits.
If there is an algorithm or some people who are responsible for churning out the same things always on top of something, it might be an idea to contact someone/them about the issue.

I love your vision of these two, both in this work and in "Under her Spell", and I especially love that Melian is taller than Elu! =^..^=Β

Yay, you're back! Deviantart had bugged up my watch list a long time ago and I found out recently. It seemed I didn't receive the deviations of a lot of artists I love, including yours. But now I managed everything again and I'm glad your work is popping up in my inbox again! <3
