He's lovely! And I adore the grumpy brattish expression on his face, LOL! :-D

[sildil]

Thank you! Yes he IS rather brattish isn't he? But I am rather in love with him none the less!

~reads the Eveiya comment and wonders what Manic Maeglin is like~ Hehehe, nice hair he has! ;D

[sildil]

Hmmmm, he is a bit bad actually....and at the moment sitting in a cave muttering dark thoughts to himself, but there is always hope that he will be alright again!

Oh, dear!

Hmmm, quite! 'Oh dear' is probably the correct response! (By the way, in case you missed it, Lizzie posted!)

You know something? I am incredibly intrigued with the way you 'do' hair.

[sildil]

Hehehe, thank you! I'm sort of developing it a bit each time. Basically, I draw a line drawing and have the hair criss-crossing pretty much in freehand as the mood takes me, then after I have scanned it in and popped it into Fireworks, I colour it as an abstract, picking shapes I like and trying to balance out the colours. It can take a long time, if I have lots of lines criss-crossing and if I have engaged my brain I do try to remember which direction the light is coming from etc. This one I did first with a few brown highlights in it, but decided it didn't work as he looked too gentle, so I switched back to just the grey and black. Now you know my secrets!

Wow. Thanks for sharing. The effort is certainly worth it in the end.

Very pretty. ^^

Thanks, glad you think so!
