So, about these silhouette type paintings...
Added 2019-07-20 20:32:18 +0000 UTCFirst off: whee, look at the crowd! Welcome, Ylanel, Vivien, and Rebecca! <3
Secondly... this silhouette thing is something I might get used to. I had this idea to do a series of Tolkien characters "filled" with scenes or just scenery that relates to them. This would be Aredhel. With Gondolin and Nan Elmoth.
You'll have noticed I never, or rarely, do series. But this one is something I could pull off, as it doesn't require an amount of consistency beyond the general idea.
I hope to get two or three of these (ack!) done before Birmingham, so have some smaller originals in stock as well as larger ones.

2019-07-21 08:14:49 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favourite moments in the book, Aredhel leaving her escort party (those poor guys! Imagine having that conversation with her brother!) and her journey to get back to Gondolin many years later. Like so much from this book, everything ends in tragedy...

2019-07-21 04:21:27 +0000 UTCOOOH! A set of three, of the Elven ring-bearers? Galadriel, then one that moves from Cirdan to Gandalf, and a third that morphs from Gil-Galad to Elrond? <3

2019-07-20 23:39:40 +0000 UTCI love this idea! This Aredhel silhouette is beautiful. I can't wait to see more; there are so many characters to chose from! It would be really cool to create silhouettes for the FΓ«anorians and group them so that they display one big scene together.
