So romantic β€οΈand that is so fine a picture it could be an illustration in Tolkiens books.Here Estel looks much like a young elf, much younger than Arwen,, which he is.

This is awesome! I've always loved Aragorn's and Arwen's story and wish that Tolkien would have gone into more detail in their stories, and your drawing captures perfectly that moment when they met! It makes me happy!

I'm so glad it makes you happy. That's why I like to draw these scenes, they make me happy, too. Thank you.

Beautiful!!

Thank you. I wasn't sure on how to make the gems on her brow look like stars, but I guess this worked. I love to experiment on Aragorn's face and how young I can make him look! And their meeting is one I like to play in my mind over and over and over....you get the drift! Thanks again.

Well, it does work, especially if you consider that the moonlight would be glinting off them which would make them like the stars You did a good job making him look twenty...do you use his really old photos for reference? I like to think about how their relationship developed over time
You're welcome, my friend

You're welcome And I asked 'cause I found like some old high school photos of him
I'm always one who envisions friendship forming, and then love, so I like to think over the course of that

Well mine will have to wait (it was pushed down the list by two other drawings and the fact that summer holidays don't really give you much time to draw things-especially when you're 15 and in a greek island
)
And thanks! It means a lot coming from you

It captures the verses quoted above perfectly. Tolkien would be proud!

Their eyes. I wanted to make Aragorn look bewildered and in a dream like state.
