Redirect to original
Description Son of Curufin and grandson of Fëanor, Lord of the Elves of Eregion, and founder of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, the People of the Jewel-smiths.
After his grandfather Fëanor, he was the most renowned of the Noldorin master-craftsmen.
Celebrimbor devised and crafted the Elessar, the green gem that Galadriel gave to Aragorn, and it's also possible that he created the original Elessar, the one borne by Eärendil the Mariner (if there ever were two different stones)
However, his most important and renowned works are the Rings of Power, Narya, Nenya and Vilya.

Though the mouth seems to be a bit not on its place and its expression is strange, I liked Celebrimbor's eyes a lot! They are deep and impressive, seeming to be full of elven wisdom and mystery...

Here I don't like lips, too womanly, and the brooch, nice in its design, looks like it was cut from an advertisement and stick there -_-
As a whole, he looks sexy (<- a soooo not-Tolkien word XD)

You are entitled not to like some things, although I found your wording a tad too harsh.
Anyway, glad to know you like parts of my work and thanks for posting your feedback here

Wow.... Your work is getting so photo-realistic. When looking at the thumbnail I could easily mistake this as a photo.
Wonderful job! Keep it up. I really admire your talent with these sorts of illustrations.

Any time! You keep getting better and better... not that you were ever anything but good to begin with. But your capturing of skin tones and hair texture is really getting to a photo-realistic level.
I'm always happy to see that you've posted new work. I always look forward to your submissions!
Have a great day!
Jon

Thanks again, Jon
I think the final results depend on light and textures as much as skill. This particular portrait shows very good results but I have used the same brushes and technique for other portraits and the final results were not as good as this.
Anyway, I know I need to work harder, but I really thank you for the encouraging words

Don't be so hard on yourself... Your work is great. Keep working for that old saying about practice is true, but really, sometimes you should sit back and try to not look at your own work from a critical standpoint.
"It's hard to see the picture when you are in the frame."
Best regards,
Jon

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the results , but I think I can do better, and I am also aware of my weaknesses - I like being objective about my own work
But thanks for reminding me to take it easy

Any time. And I didn't mean to assume you were down on yourself. I've been really impressed with your work in this series.
Also, I think it's healthy to look at your work and try to figure where you can improve, or at least try something different to see what the results will be. I do this all the time.
Anyway... it's all good. It's good to hear from you.
