The Death of Fëanor - digital sketch
Added 2020-02-02 11:18:39 +0000 UTC"Then his sons raised up their father and bore him back towards Mithrim. But as they drew near to Eithel Sirion and were upon the upward path to the pass over the mountains, Fëanor bade them halt; for his wounds were mortal, and he knew that his hour was come. And looking out from the slopes of Ered Wethrin with his last sight he beheld far off the peaks of Thangorodrim, mightiest of the towers of Middle-earth, and knew with the foreknowledge of death that no power of the Noldor would ever overthrow them; but he cursed the name of Morgoth thrice, and laid it upon his sons to hold to their oath, and to avenge their father. Then he died; but he had neither burial nor tomb, for so fiery was his spirit that as it sped his body fell to ash, and was borne away like smoke; and his likeness has never again appeared in Arda, neither has his spirit left the halls of Mandos. Thus ended the mightiest of the Noldor, of whose deeds came both their greatest renown and their most grievous woe."

Also Celegorm is epic.

2020-02-02 21:33:55 +0000 UTCI did not remember Tolkien's exact words. They support your interpretation.

2020-02-02 19:40:52 +0000 UTCBeautiful, Jenny. The great tragedy of the pride of the elves. This wants the same color scheme as the oath paintings and "It ends in fire."

2020-02-02 17:23:37 +0000 UTCI feel like I say this every time, but this looks like it's going to be amazing. (I really love watching the evolution from your first sketch to finished piece, even if I don't say that nearly as often.)
