Description
See what time I'm posting this? Oh yeah. Three a.m. XD Don't take it personally if it disappears tomorrow, when I get on here on go O.. M.. G...! What was I even thinking!?Anyway.
This is Glorfindel, and the title - fearless and full of joy is Tolkien's description of him, and has there ever been a better, more succinct description of anything?

AW shucks! Thank you. Glorfindel is HARD to draw; my very best friend is the LotR scholar who tells me when my sketches finally start to look like him, bless her!

I'm always happy to find a beautiful picture of Glorfindel and this is one of the best ones I've ever seen.

Thank you very much! I've drawn him twice now, and he's always great fun.. all glowing and gold and, well, Glorfindel.
Glad you liked!

Elves are addictive; I swear, I really would be reading all the hard-core Tolkien stuff, but that's time I keep spending trying to learn to draw elves!

Time well spent! XD I've read The Lord of The Rings and Hell, I can't draw elves XD

I've read the Lord of the Rings; what I haven't read is the Silmarillion, or the Unfinished Tales, and those two are the Hardcore Ones, where you find all the stuff about elves. One of these days! Until then.. elves are a pain to draw, and you'll never get it right anyway, I've discovered; there's always someone immediately piping up to say, 'This isn't how I picture Glorfindel, but oh well...' That's ok, though. *G*

XD I have the Silmarilion sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me to read it. I forgot about the Unfinished Tales. But yeah, I know what you mean :3 I love how you drew Glorfindel, he looks perfect to me.

GOSH, thank you! I'm always terrified that people will ask me if he's Legolas. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like Legolas too, but dangit... no! It's GLORFINDEL.
Erm, sorry! Got ranty, there.. people once asked me if my drawing of Obi-wan was Anakin. Now, THAT hurt. XD
..erm, sorry again.. ahaha... thank you!

Hah XD Aw, man, that sucks :3 But you know, I figured it wasn't Legolas because his hair is different *shrug* There'll always be people out there who think the character is another character I suppose. Power through!

Amazing coloring. I love the paint look of it and you captured elvish glow spectacularly. This will forever be my mental image of Glorfindel.

Thank you very much! I really can't take full credit for the image of Glorfindel; this particular image of him was developed slowly and with many revisions and entirely at the expense of 's sanity - she loves all things Tolkien elvish, and Glorfindel is her favourite. He didn't end up being much of a surprise, but she thought he looked like Glorfindel.. I'm hugely flattered that you do, too!

WHOA. Is he....sparkling? Are you sure that maybe he's not a....teenage vampire?
In all seriousness, though, I love the background, and I think the lovely gold color of his hair and skin make the blue of his eye absolutely gorgeous. I was really hoping that you would color this picture, and, now that you have, I am really impressed~!

What!? What!? NO! XD XD Yeesh. I'll be shot before I do Twilight fanart. Final Fantasy fanart, sure.. Star Wars, bring it on... I have to draw the line SOMEWHERE, though, and angsty teenage vampires is where it is.
XD
Anyway... thanks! Holy crap! Photoshop and alcohol are.. a haphazard mix..
... I have some stuff I need to fix. Still.. by golly, I like the gold colour I got, and and and.. thank you for liking it too!
Also, love and e-cookies for noticing the background, because believe it or not, I worked hard on it. It started out rather stupid.. it took a silly amount of hammering to get it to a shape I liked.
