This is a masterpiece, the limited palette makes the composition all the more powerful. I could easily see it being included in some new edition of Silmarillion, the aesthetics are on point 🥹
Thank you! I should post the references for that - I filmed myself tossing a fabric around in front of a lamp and took so many screenshots to splice into a surreal whole 😀
i really, really struggled trying to find the food the chopsticks were meant to be used on... lmao! great painting tho! the broken weapon in Beren's hand was a lovely touch! Feanor approves!
It's been a few years! I did make my way through the Lay of Leithian again for the painting, though mostly this was influenced by the version in The Silmarillion. :)
Thank you so much, Dianita! When reading that part of the Silmarillion and Lúthien goes on her quest, it's like the tempo of the story changes. That's the feeling I tried to capture :)

I love how the orb glows.
... it's after midnight here in Korea, so let's blame it on that.

It seems like it. As a giant Tolkien nerd, this is easily the best Beren and Luthien work I’ve seen :)
Followed!
