Description
"But the jewel burned the hand of Maedhros in pain unbearable; and he perceived that it was as Eönwë had said, and that his right thereto had become void, and that the oath was vain. And being in anguish and despair he cast himself into a gaping chasm filled with fire, and so ended; and the Silmaril that he bore was taken into the bosom of the Earth."J.R.R.Tolkien, "The Silmarillion"
A watercolour monotype.

Woahhh! That looks amazing! Just--simply--WOW! I was really really depressed when Maedhros suicided (I mean seriously, after all that effort to get the Silmaril?) But this really does him justice ^^ Great!

Very wonderful composition. I find it very hard to pick my favourite elf from the Silmarillion, since there are a lot I like, but I if I had to I think it would be him. I like him even more than his father! I have a crush on tragic, imperfect figures...
His expression fits his character so well, and I love the way he and the Silmaril are part of the fire. And the use of the color is perfect.

Oh, this is beautiful. So dramatic and very original. His expression really makes it great.

Это просто обалденно и невероятно. И великолепно как иллюстрация.
До сих пор не понимаю, как вы это делаете

(Сначала - пятно, потом высматриваю что-то в нём... Чо высмотрелось - дорисовываю кисточкой до состояния узнаваемости зрителем

ну, технически-то понятно, а как вы в нем видите такие образы...
а хотя и технически не очень понятно. я не раз пыталась сделать акварельную монотипию. наношу краску в водном растворе на стекло, прижимаю лист - и выходят довольно однообразные пятна, похожие на деревья. ну, на разной бумаге по-разному, конечно, но все равно - деревья-кусты

(Может, на "ты"?.. %))
Я пользуюсь глянцевой бцмагой, причём чаще отпечатываю один лист о другой, а не об стекло (хотя и стеклом пользуюсь тоже - по настроению

С удовольствием
Глянцевой бумагой - это в смысле мелованной, которую обычно используют под тушь и... а больше я и не знаю, для чего ее можно брать. Точнее, теперь знаю

Не за что
Я тоже не сама до этого допёрла - мне тоже рассказывали коллеги

Incredible. You've captured the character better than any other Maedhros art I've ever seen, and it's beautiful, too.

Dayum.
This is pretty ingenious. The colors rock, and so does the whole monotype thing. You know I've never in my life seen a monotype as a Tolkien illustration. Love love love the Silmaril as the light source and the shadow on his face too
I'm so going to fave this with both of my accounts ^_^

wow this is incredible, I love how you get inspired in a piece of literature and then try to translate! Isn't it wonderful?!
By the way, you do most of these pieces by smudging with your fingers, right?

Thank you!
No, the stain is made by pressing two pieces of paper against each other
