Maedhros' rescue (finished)
Added 2017-11-16 09:45:04 +0000 UTCI managed to keep off the indiscriminate detailing! I only have one strip of detail, as it were - from the bow and Thorondor's wing across both their faces and down Maedhros' arm. I have often planned to do something like this, but I just always ended up adding darks here and there and here and oh there and oooo shiny!, but now it worked. <3
Watercolour on Canson Vidalon cold-pressed paper, app. 22x31 cm.

Lovely! I am now also imagining some Jim Henson-type goblin whose job it was to ride down the side of the mountain on a little scaffold and make sure to give Maedhros a haircut every so often. XD

2017-11-16 16:45:26 +0000 UTCIt really depends on the scene and surroundings - here, I didn't want it redder than the blood, and it made sense to have it look slightly lustreless, I think.

2017-11-16 16:25:32 +0000 UTCBeautiful. Is it just me or has his hair become a little less red since the earlier pictures?

2017-11-16 13:05:36 +0000 UTCGorgeous! And Evelyn has a point - it's reminiscent of religious sculpture, though my mind went to pietà rather than angels, despite Thorondor's wing.

2017-11-16 10:40:26 +0000 UTCI love the feel to this... it has that religious sculpture vibe to it, like an angel holding someone with their wings outspread

2017-11-16 10:14:56 +0000 UTCIt's so beautiful! Fingon you brave, brave man. (Also poor Maedhros obviously, but I've always been more of a Fingon-fangirl :P)
