Description Thranduil,the ruthless war-thirsty racist prima donna, the one and only Bitch King of Mirkwood we all know and love (and if you don't love him, that's because you don't know him well enough). Looking thrandy as ever in the beginning of spring.

Yes, I do respect Thranduil as a character, a constant source of inspiration, a role model and an independent political figure (if only he had a say in today's politics). Well, I know I could never do the party king justice with my pathetic art skills. The crown is meant to grow out of his head, as a living part of him rather than an accessory (that's how I picture it, at least). I know it doesn't look as good as digital, but it was painted in all kinds of paint leftovers on a f^&&**%*^*ing A4 sheet of paper, and by the time I'd finished it I was too tired to fix all the technical mistakes.

"In autumn, we look to the west and spill the blood of our enemies.
In winter, we look to the north and bury our dead.
In spring, we look to the east and celebrate the rebirth of nature.
In summer, we look to the south and salute the sun for the plenty it
has provided us with."

...And all throughout the year, of course, we party.

Yessss, abandoning the people you had an alliance with to die (especially after you took the trouble to traipse ALL the way to the battlefront on your mighty elk steed) is JUST the thing we need in today's politics, ha ha.  This is an interesting take on him, though the skullcrown kind of hurts my head.

I  You have Thranduils  facial expression nailed!  

I am drawing him for a friend...I wonder if we are using the same ref?  Anyway-again, That 'gentle' sneer is perfect. 

  No comments yet?  I am surprised.  It sure deserves some!

Fantastic. from tarpalsfan

Thanks! I'm glad you think so... I did this one long ago, and I believe that I ought to draw a better one soon...

It seems Thranduil's fanbase is growing rapidly indeed. I didn't use a reference image for this one. Perhaps I will for the next one, albeit loosely.

Thank you for the comment I had a pane with all four seasons of Thranduil, but I don't know where it went, really :/

You are welcome  I think that expression fits him perfectly.

.

I love The Hobbit, LOTR's books, movies.  But as for bieng a Thranduil fan?  I don't dislike him, but no crazed fan.

.

I look forward to seeing a new Thranduil piece by you, if you decide to do one.
