But Elwing was not with him...by ~DappleHack

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

"In the Lay of Eärendil is many a thing sung of his adventures in the deep and in lands untrodden, and in many seas and in many isles; but Elwing was not with him, and she sat in sorrow by the mouths of Sirion.", J.R.R.Tolkien, "The Silmarillion"

I totally messed up my own idea (for I first wanted to make it in a dry graphic style, then I decided to turn it into a watercolour, then I disliked the result and tried to bring some bettering by applying pastels... So there's no wonder I'm disappointed by the result.)

Well, let's hope it will be my chance to learn thanks to my own mistakes

Outstanding

I really like the light and the water texture. Also, the gulls are so lifelike (their wings seem a bit too broad to me for a gull though, but I can be mistaken). ...

~Airship-Hobbit Oct 1, 2010

With how much you used on it, it has a kind of rough feel that helps to evoke the sorrow Elwing felt. I love it.

This is beautiful. I especially like that her hair and dress are blowing in the wind off the ocean...it makes it seem more real and sad, somehow.

I'm not surprised to read that this was inspired by a loss. I, too, go to the Silmarillion for comfort in times of grief. Tolkien weaves sorrow into all of his tales, and yet there is beauty in the sorrow, and the world is richer for it having been.

*Kneeling-Glory May 15, 2012 78 comments

In April, we asked group members to stalk a CV or $taff member to help dispel the myth that these people are too important for everyday deviants to get to know. In fact, many of them produce great art and have fun personalities just like you and me! Here's what we found out:Staffers:iconmoo nbeam1...
