Description ''And Aragorn said to Halbarad: 'What is that that you bear, kinsman?' For he saw that instead of a spear he bore a tall staff, as it were a standard (...).
'It is a gift that I bring you from the Lady of Rivendell,' answered Halbarad. 'She wrought it in secret, and long was the making.' ''

J.R.R. Tolkien, ''The Return of the King'', Ch. II ''The Passing of the Grey Company''

colored pencils, A4. Inspired by a painting by Edmund Blair Leighton.

Also remembers Lúthien making her hair grow to run away from that three to save Beren! Great and wonderful work!

I also used a light grey Copico marker at the end to blend the less important parts (bottom of the picture) but other that than, yes, only colored pencils. And a bit of tweaking in PS to make it look more like the original (scan or photo always gets it a bit wrong)

Oh how this most important aspect of LotR was missing from the movies. If you're going to insist that Arwen must have more screen time, at least do so by portraying what she actually did contribute to the war effort, instead of concocting absolute nonsense. Here we see her channelling her strength and wisdom into that emblem of hope and encouragement that will go on to inspire the Heir of Isildur to deliver the West from utter ruin. It's touching and beautiful

Wspaniałe barwy, z początku pomyślałam, że to tęcza odbita w wodospadzie. Czuć ducha Rivendell w każdym elemencie pracy, czy to we wzorze sukni, poręczy, czy rzeźbie drzewa (nawet "niczyje" niebo jest tutaj dotknięte elfickim nastrojem). Murek jest genialny, ile w nim kolorów, jaka struktura A sama Arwen oryginalna, piękna i młodzieńcza, chociaż z drugiej strony wydaje się smutna (no, nie dziwię się) i skupiona na pracy, przez co widzę melancholijny kontrast - jak z ogólnym odcieniem obrazu: część już dotknięta zmierzchem, a gdzieniegdzie jeszcze trochę światła/słońca zostało, jak na tym drzewie (albo mi się wydaje, że ono takie ciepłe).

Uwielbiam
