Description
Gallery | Facebook | Tumblr | Society6This is one of the last paintings I did for school, this time we were more free in the choice of the subject and its interpretation. I then choose to draw Gwaihir, the King of the Eagles of Manwe, in a tribute to LoTR but also to an amazing fanfiction I read a while ago!
I've got the exam in a few days, hopefully I'll be able to work n more personal pieces later and explore further the wonders of traditional art xD

Not Gwaihir Windlord, but:
'Then Manwë seeing in this rebellion and their violent deed the seed of bitterness cast down his sceptre and wept; but the others spake unto Sorontur King of Eagles upon Taniquetil and by him were the words of Manwë sent to Melko: "Begone for ever, O accursed, nor dare to parley more with Gods or Elves. Neither shall thy foot nor that of any who serve thee tread the soil of Valinor again while the world endures." And Sorontur sought out Melko and said as he was bidden, and of the death of his envoy he told [?too]. Then Melko would have slain Sorontur, being mad with anger at the death of his messenger; and verily this deed was not in accord with the strict justice of the Gods, yet was the anger of those at Valmar sorely tempted; but Melko has ever cast it against the Gods most bitterly, twisting it into a black tale of wrong; and between that evil one and Sorontur has there ever since been hate and war, and that was most bitter when Sorontur and his folk fared to the Iron Mountains and there abode, watching all that Melko did.'
