Description Another insomnia induced drawing. Slowly working my way through the commissions I owe people I'm so sorry T T On a brighter note I really love my new job, the downside is that its a six day a week 8 hour job and with kickboxing training after I'm very exhausted at the end of the day and I don't even want to think about the dwindling time I have for art. Which kind of begs the question why I can't sleep since I'm exhausted but trust me when I say I'm operating like a zombie searching for brains, physically tired but still rather mentally active? Anyway this is a Huan and Celegorm painting, sorry Huan looks like a overgrown wolf instead of a wolfhound, personally I find wolfhounds rather comedic looking due to the moustaches they seem to have.

Oh lovely!!! Your elves have such an edginess to them, such a fierce beauty. Love this in the same way I love your Thranduil. I don't mind Huan looking wolflike as I find wolfhounds comical looking too!

[And I totes sympathise with the exhaustion and the job. I have so little time for art as well... seriously sad about it. I had insomnia from job stress too. Resorted to melatonin, insomnia herbal teas, lavender essential oil, and reflexology... and somewhere along the way a combination of all that worked. Hope you are sleeping better by now.]

Thank you so much; fierce beauty is the emotion I want to invoke in my elves when people look them Tolkien always describe them as fey and beautiful and I kind of want to capture that juxtaposition

I try to force myself to exercise because then at the end of the day I'm exhausted so I have no choice but to sleep. Bit like a forced sleeping pill haha > < Herbal teas are awesome

If you can still paint at the end of all that - well done!! And yes, exercise wins over sleeping pills any day...

"Tolkien always describe them as fey and beautiful and I kind of want to capture that juxtaposition". You have certainly done that!! Love the rest of your gallery as well

Nice work!

A minor note re English: "brethren" is already plural, so we don't add "s" at the end. (It's an old-fashioned word for "brothers," no longer used except in a religious context based on an older translation of the Bible, but Tolkien loved and used a lot of older English words.)

Well, maybe Huan could change forms to different dogs or even a wolf? he is supposed to be a Maia of Orome after all

True true it doesn't say he stayed in one form after all

well in one of my first fanfics, a Harry Potter/Silmarillion crossover which I posted on a FB RP-page of mine, Huan could change sizes and such. If he is big enough to be riden on by a adult, surely he would be able to be in smaller shape too?

I love, love, love it!!
All of it looks stunnung I like both of thems expressions and the atmosphere of the drawing is just wonderful!
That`s said, I also like you drew Huan as a wolf. I always imagined him like a big wolf or at least almost like a wolf in his look.
