And Melian he loved, divine,
whose voice was potent as the wine
the Valar drank in golden halls
there flower blooms and fountain falls;
But when she sang it was a spell,
no flower stirred nor fountain fell.

The Lay of Leithian, Canto III

(There is definitely a place in my fandom experience for Creepy Melian as well as Shiny Guardian Melian. In my personal tastes, even when she’s being the good, strong, divine protector, she needs to be a tiny bit scary and otherworldly. Oh my gosh she’s like, Shroedinger’s Maia, is she going to be beautiful or terrifying (or both), I just don’t know until I open the fic.)

Pencil sketch of Queen Melian and King Thingol! (Able to produce the most beautiful Child of Iluvatar? You bet.)

I’ve only drawn the two of them once before and I wasn’t totally happy with either of them. The only thing I really kept from my first try is Melian’s white eyelashes – they are my lifeblood, ugh, I love them. Her hair is an homage to scorpionhoney and luaen although they draw that beautiful Melian bouffant way better

First page of my new sketchbook!

I am currently reading the Unfinished Tales and since I am going through the chapter about Túrin I decided to sketh some characters!
From the top, left to right: Beleg, Mablung, Sad young Túrin, Nellas and a very grumpy Thingol in the corner of the page 😛

Thingol and Melian.

I’m reading The Silmarillion for the first time, and am sketching out the characters as I imagine them, to help me visualize the stories. Working on the Ainur right now, but decided to take a break and sketch out how I picture Thingol and Melian 🙂

Elwë and Finwë meeting again in the Halls of Mandos

[Randomly opening the Silmarillion yesterday and reading again about Finwë being desperate that he would never see Elwë again because he was left behind moved me to tears and…I felt like drawing something for them…]
