Earendil 'Starfall'

[sildil]

At the RP group I am involved in, tuxedo_elf has just started playing Earendil, as if he has been rebodied but with the silmaril embedded in his forehead (is waiting with interest to see what Celegorm, Caranthir and co., make of that...) Anyway, I drew him in the snow as that's what the weather is like there at the moment...

OOOH, PS: I said I would credit ford_of_bruinen with the fact that she told me to finish it! I lost confidence half way through, as one does!

I LOVE it! He's looks so - shiny! *Grins*

His expression is wonderful, you can tell he's sightly disorientated - not surprising considering how long he's been a star!

Oooh... squee-ness!

*Huggles*

THANK YOU!

Yes, it would be most odd to suddenly find yourself on the ground, and probably a bit chilly! Glad you like it!

That is really beautiful. I LOVE the way the light falls, and the way it's all in shades of blue is gorgeous. There's that amazing ethereal quality to it that's breathtaking, really :D

Thank you, the colouring took ages actually, and I got really fed up with it half way through and thought it would never look right! Glad it worked, I wanted it to look ethereal and other worldly!

Wow. His eyes look like they are seeing other things, like they are not used to seeing something as close as this. he looks a little lost, but not afraid.

.. and dang. If his clothes look that transparent, why'd you have to put his leg right there?!? *lol*

I really like this picture. Maybe it's the shades of blue, but I find it calming/soothing to look at.

LOL yes, what an irritating leg that is! I wanted him to look lost and ethereal, and I am glad you liked the eyes. I added the spots of light at the last minute as they were a bit dead without them. It did work out calming too, which I am pleased with, the stars are calming I guess, so I tried to reflect that.

Lovely as always dear! His expression is haunting.

Thank you! I worked harder than usual on his face!
