Artist's Comments

The chief citadel of Maedhros was upon the Hill of Himring, the Ever-cold; and that was wide-shouldered, bare of trees, and flat upon its summit, surrounded by many lesser hills.

(J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Chapter 13: Of the Retur of the Noldor)

---

This wasn't intended to become Himring, so there may be differences - I just felt like doing a landscape manipulation (though the landscape, except for the keep, was not changed) - and for some reason I had a different text passage in mind, which, to my surprise was completely imagined. This is what Elleth gets for spending two nights on a manipulation and barely sleeping. That, and a finished manip-bookmark-thing.

Not really fair since you already know I like this. :) I can really see how DA got popular from stuff like this.

Amusingly enough I started a Himring sketch a week back. Brainshare?
(I discared mine, though, because after two weeks of summer and beaches my muses all have gone on a Summer spree to Alqualondë.)

I really like the way this turned out, "real" and dreamlike at once!

A mix of factors, I suppose, for example giving amateur artists the opportunity to display their work, so yup, this is among it.

The idea probanly didn't like being discarded so it went to find someone else. They sometimes do - I hope the inspiration for yours returns, though, I'd really like to see it. Or coax your muses to help you draw a holiday picture. ;) (Theirs, that is, I suppose you'll provide photos from your own. And yes, this really is just a cheap excuse for wanting a Feanor in beachwear. Just out of the water, preferably. :P)

:hug: Thanks.

Feanor does not believe in beachwear. Feanor does not wear beachwear. He says he has nothing to hide.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING NOW.

I love the colouring of your piece, many thanks for using my stock :-)

Great work, an excellent textures pic, really, and the landscape is really great! Perhaps I wold have preffered a more tall and build up hill, but that'sjust me, or perhaps you didn't found any. Big hug! :hug:
