Description "And I'm caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts
The colour of my blood is all I see on the rocks
As you sail from me."
- My Blood by Ellie Goulding

Silmarillion art.
So Capbrolet over at tumblr mentioned how this song fits Maedhros and Fingon. And I looked up a lyrics video. Some of the accuracy, for example the above quotation, wasn't even funny.
It felt good to complete a proper, big, beautiful picture again, though. I haven't had much time or energy for drawing lately.

Tools: colour pencils, graphic pencils, aquamarkers as watercolours.

Go here for a Draw this again meme to have a laugh at my art from 2011: [link]

Oh for some reason I love the shading on the rocks. They look very realistic. Also something about the way Fingon stands. It looks kind of sad, disbelieving, those feelings... but most importantly it looks natural to me.
And his hair. His hair is pretty, that waving motion is nice

I'm glad you do! I worked a while on them, trying to get them sort of rough grey looking, but red in accordance with the lyrics of the song! Thanks!

Osaat todella piirtää maisemia ja taustoja. Ne saa minut aina että: Whoaaa! What!
Ihana kaunis meri tässäkin, ja tuo savu.

Tremendous difference from the older one So many more colors, and much more realism in everything: especially the smoke!
I love it!! I'll go check out the song now.

Thank you kindly! ^^ I'm glad you like the smoke - I find it a bit tricky to draw.

Too bright for a night, but really nice take One of scenes that haunts me for years.

Incoherent non-critique version: I like this. Excuse me while I fangirl over Fingon's hair

Haha, I'm glad you do. And his hair? Lol, I based that hairdo on the laziest plait ever that I wore the other day, loose strands and everything.
