Description
My first Silmarillion picture. Rejoice! I cannot BELIEVE I did that water. it looks so.. so.. EXCELLENT. I'm very proud of it.

"Thus at last the Teleri were overcome, and a great part of their mariners that dwelt in Aqualondë were wickedly slain. For the Noldor were become fierce and desperate, and the Teleri had less strength, and were armed with for the most part but with slender bows. Then the Noldor drew away their white ships and manned their oars best they might, and rowed them north along the coast..... Of the Kinslaying at Aqualondë more is told in that lament which is named Noldolantë, the fall of the Noldor, that Maglor made ere he was lost."

"The Noldor came at last far into the north of Arda; and they saw the first teeth of the ice that floated in the sea, and knew that they were drawing nigh to the Helcaraxe." - JRR Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Chapter 9, Of the Flight of the Noldor.

We'll leave you with those two quotes to explain - for this is not nessarily written into the book. Fëanor burned the ships at the Firth of Drengist, so as no one would go back for Fingolfin(the elf at the head of the second ship), who he eventually left behind in Araman, the wasteland of the north. But another reason he could not keep the ships, says I, was because they were so stained with blood that would never wash out, and they would serve ere the end as a reminder of the treachery of the Noldor and the Curse of Fëanor. And here in the picture, Fëanor is desperately eager to land.. or maybe he's pissed because his hated half-brother Fingolfin's ship is sailing farther ahead. Now a cold wind blows from the Helcaraxe, welcoming them to their curse. (this is me being dramatic )

Ok, so mostly people who have read the book will totally understand.. but.. if you haven't... don't fret, just enjoy my painting skills? *laughs* I painted this in a matter of three days - a RECORD for me. Here you see Fëanor, Maedhros, Maglor, Fingolfin, Turgon, Fingon, and others who you cannot see so easily.
