So very beautiful! I love how she looks very regal but also has an air of playfulness hidden in her eyes.

thank you!
About her expression, I've been wanting to write a journal about it for a while...
You see, Idril is, like you said, regal. But she is also a girl. She has many responsabilities - but she has strong feelings and emotions.
On the other hand, I have drawn Nimrodel twice. [link] and [link] . In both I made her smile a bit off, distant. I realized that I did it without even thinking, but I always thought of Nimrodel as a scatterbrain. I always portray her as some sort of Bella Swan in her expressions - or lack of. After all, she did get lost never to be found again.
There's a third girl - Nellas. I drew her 3 times. In every single one of them she shows a lot of emotion. She feels, and she shows it. That's why I like her.
[link] - fear and amazement
[link] - grief
[link] - happiness and love!
