Description
"Then Thingol fortified the marches of his realm, and went not to war, nor any out of Doriath save Mablung and Beleg, who were unwilling to have no part in these great deeds."From "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien
---------------------------------------------------------------
My entry for the "This Is War" contest from
Beleg and Mablung, fighting side by side in The Fifth Battle, Nirnaeth Arnoediad. Nowhere in The Silmarillion does it say with what host they fought, being the only ones to ride from Doriath. I tend to think they fought with Turgon and the host of Gondolin, since they made a good escape. In the background Thangorodrim looms, shrouded in smoke from it's craters and dust from the battle.
Here apparently they already lost their helmets
Hope you all enjoy!

Hi Jory,
This image is 10+ hours, if I remember correctly. Done 4 years ago.
I'll send you a personal note if you are interested in commissioning me?

You're welcome. If you have a spare minute could you vote for me in this Samhain storytelling contest on Gaelsong. My story is called A Druid's Destiny and it is listed 3rd. If I stay in 3rd I win $100, but if I can move up to first I would win $1000. I appreciate any support.

Excellent! - really like the expressions on their faces and the contrast of the skin tones to the rest of the scene.

Great composition. The mood is wonderful!
It's begging for a sweep of the camera to the rest of the field.

Thanks! In a small corner in my mind I pondered about actually expanding the thing into more panels, but then again, that may destroy it's 'mystery'.

This is epic, like your works altogether, but digital touch takes them literally to another atmosphere. This amount of envy is hardly bearable! Haha!
Characters, design, composition, colours, background... all done extremely well. So many details! I really like how you faded out those soldiers further away.
You surely gave a hard blow at the beginning of that competition...!

Thanks buddy, glad you like it, means a lot.
Hahaaa! Shock and Awe I believe it is called in military terms Actually I was just inspired and had this image in my head for a few months now. This contest was just a good excuse to dive into it
I'm happy with the way it turned out.
