Little Prince of the forest, whom does not yet know the sorrow this world may bring, May you forever be cradled by the heart of a vigorous spring. Though there is no dimming the shadow beyond, there is hope that you might find joy within these woodland walls. You are loved more than you know, for a green leaf is a proud reflection of the tree from which it falls

Legolas meaning "Green Leaf"

Thranduil meaning "Vigorous Spring"

Oh how I love incorporating the etymology of names into character art, it brings me much joy. I was also motivated to draw some Thranduil and a Little Legolas with some forest imagery. Really brought out the illustrator in me composition-wise.

We really need some more soft family content from these two, I genuinely believe that after all Thranduil experienced in his early life, and the loss of his own father, that he would vow to care for and make sure his son had a good life.

Took a momentary break from realistic stuff today and experimented with combining watercolour brushes with my cleaner illustration style... not sure I actually like it but thought it was still cute enough to share. So enjoy a design for Fingolfin in a more practical (Turco-Mongol inspired) outfit whilst crossing the Helcaraxë, featuring the beginnings of frostbite on his ear, alas!

The world is grey, the mountains old, The forge's fire is ashen-cold; No harp is wrung, no hammer falls: The darkness dwells in Durin's halls; The shadow lies upon his tomb In Moria, in Khazad-dûm.

“That, my dear Frodo, is where I come in. For quite by chance, and the will of a Wizard, fate decided I would become part of this tale. It began, well, it began as you might expect. In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, full of worms and oozy smells; this was a Hobbit-hole, and that means good food, a warm hearth, and all the comforts of home.”
