A critique, hm. First off, I think it was a good call for the portraits in the second panel to extend into the first (it took me a moment to realize they're two panels). The consistency is good as well, by looking at each panel one can characters are standing in the same place, and we're just looking a them from three angles. The pallet choice is right on, the green and brown accents work very nice.
As for character design, the swirly faceless Illuvitar with the two big sleeved hands gives a sort of creator vibe, the hands of a god at work composing. The gesture in panel three strongly implies his leadership over the choir.
As well as the feathers are drawn, my one real criticism is that feathery head garb and slender costumes are bit too common in Elf related fantasy art and lore. Also, I was thinking the dialog boxes could use a border of some kind, maybe even one that looks a little like an illuminated manuscript.
Overall it's excellent.

This is amazing. You are so talented! This reminds me of greek Mythology and the way you did the hair is amazing.

I must confess to having a great passion for the greek mythology, nordic, like other much less popular. And as Tolkien was inspired, it is likely that it will be felt. <3

The style is good for the fluidic nature of the subject, bright light and glorious light. Though you must be careful to allow the figures to hold their own. Most notably Illuvitar himself. I love the idea of having his face unknowable and his hands in the robes of light. However, I think that he getsa little lost in translation. The " mist" and light reminds me of Clamp ( a deep complement) and the style of portraits of the Valar are stylistically wonderful, but also a little lost. My advice would be to add very subtle definition and color to the ainor (ie ulmo having touches of blue to his robes). Overall a great idea and I hope you do more!!

After that, I have not seen any official illustrations. I'd have to rummage in a bookstore to find these jewels.<3

Wow. This is basically what I imagined when I read the book. I think I imagined Eru's halls to be more blueish (if they're a cosmic location). But still, this hits the nail on the head so well. Can't wait to see the rest!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and well. It is true that everyone sees blue. I told myself, I'll do a little more red and gold, for a very warm welcome side. Is that it looks full of love that Iluvatar, so if you want to sing these songs, he must be in such mysterious, but at the same time, it gives an aura almost paternal if I may say.

I see that too. The expressions seem to communicate this

I love you so much ;u; So beautiful. I would never dare to try to draw Ainulindale, I don't have the skill enough to depict this beauty, this spiritual feeling it should have. But you totally have the skill and it's just so amazing! You really gave shape to the music, and all the gold and light, it's just perfect. Thank you for drawing this, I'll be eagerly awaiting next part <3

me too I love you >w< <3 Thank you very much. Well let's say it's a real challenge this part; I had requested and I just meditated on revisiting. But, yeah, it's a real pleasure to work, much as I love the abstract / figurative and I'll prove to some people that it was possible. Result will come for sure. but I'm slow I really want my rendering is read.
