Description
"Feanor was the mightiest in skill of word and of hand, more learned than his brothers; his spirit burned as a flame". ~The Silmarillion, JRR Tolkien

Finally got some free time to finish drawing this one! I read The Silmarillion a few weeks ago and loved it so much. Such an epic and tragic story, I highly recommend it! This is my take on Feanor, the creator of the three Silmarils. He’s such a flawed character - undoubtedly a genius but also full of pride and selfishness, which eventually lead to the exile and downfall of his whole family line. I tried to incorporate a few elements of his story into the stained glass design. Has anyone else read The Silmarillion? I could very gladly gush about this book for hours πŸ˜…Β

Thanks so much! I'm glad I got his character across Yes he's such an interesting character. He's brilliant and pretty much drives the plot of most of the Silmarillion, but he did make some questionable decisions (I just couldn't quite forgive him for the kinslaying at Alqualonde!)

The Silmarillion should be subtitled "Elves Behaving Badly".
