Feanor and His Silmarils

almost 2 years ago

Hello OCA!

I hope you're doing alright and keeping well.

I'm still working on my Silmarillion art and decided to do this one piece a little differently using grisaille technique.

"For the less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may accomplish but once only; and in that deed his heart shall rest. It may be that I can unlock my jewels, but never again shall I make their like; and if I must break them, I shall break my heart, and I shall be slain; first of all the Eldar in Aman."

I really love Feanor and his story, and he's my second favorite character throughout Tolkiens work. I resonates with his creative spirit. That love for creation and feeling that your work and self are one and the same; and can not be thought of as apart, as least for the artist.

I think I'll be taking a little break from Tolkien's world to do some other stuff, like #splinterland art challenge, because I have a number of picks from their IP that I'd love to interprete. I miss the challenge and how it can press you to find a way to work things out sometimes.

I will be doing more of that and also trying to learn landscape illustration which I'm really bad.

Thank you for taking that little time to let me share with you.
