Bronze!
Added 2018-04-07 10:23:07 +0000 UTCOkay, I apologize to all Noldorin princes who will have to endure bronze armour for years to come. SO PRETTY, and so much fun to paint!
Fun tidbit: I've taken to listening to audiobooks while painting, and I've always been amused by how listening to a particular bit of text while painting a particular bit of image will forever bring that text back when I look at the image! Thus, looking at the fish in "For Ulmo bore up Elwing" reminds me of Terry Pratchett's Illucidated Brethren squabbling over whether Ankh-Morpork needs a king; the shrikes in this piece here bring back Nobody of "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman being set up by the man Jack; and the bronze armour here conjures up genes, alleles and chromosomes from Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene".
Aaaaand let's welcome the one hundred and fiftieth Patron: Clara Borges! Woo-hoooo!

Heh, I'm the same. Once I figured out I only get annoyed and restless when listening to music while I paint, and finding audiobooks... Suddenly, my painting process became a complete joy. My mind's far too busy, it needs more than one creative input/output at the same time for me to focus. And so, I've listened to many books I'd never have had the time to read! (Except "Little, Big" because unfortunately the reader is... not good). "Tigana" was a particular experience, but perfect for those dramatic, big pieces... or so I found it. Happy to hear about this newfound delight! Also wonderful armour.

2018-04-07 10:33:14 +0000 UTCI think one particular Noldorin prince will forgive you for that ;) Indeed, that is true about text and craft! I listrn to music or to audiobooks while i'm sewing and it seems like some words just stuck into the stiches!
