For those of you who asked for Elros and Elrond - it turned out much more heartbreaking than any of us bargained for. =(

A metaphorical moment more than anything else, if the twins had met again before their fate separated them until the world is broken and remade. 

Red and white pencil on Clairefontaine toned paper. You may feel reminded (at least where technique is concerned) of several works that Donato Giancola has been turning out lately - I hugely admire his art and the technique is just lovely. 

I'll make this one available for sale - if you'd like it, don't hesitate to shoot me a message! *** Edit: Aaaaaand - claimed! ***

Oh Jenny it's absolutely beautiful, and I suppose it was always going to be heartbreaking. I love that you can see the weight in Elrond's eye even though he appears young at first glance. They've both suffered.

Yollie

Great work. Why Elrond doesnt have pointy ears?

PL

Oh Jenny this made me tear up. What a heartbreaking sundering. Very moving piece.

Jenny Dolfen

I know - both of them should. I think Elrond's got rounder in one colouring pass. ;) Maybe I'll upload a pointy version of it later!

Oh... why... my heart... This is stunning, absolutely beautiful. These brothers give me such feelings, just thinking about the idea of poor Elrond seeing his brother ageing like he does and being parted from him forever, when their family was already touched by tragedy and parting, and again to come with his wife, daughter and sons... NOW I AM SAD ;_; But seriously, amazing work as usual!!

"Blade" McMicking, D.I.

OMG. This one speaks to me .... How much are you asking for it, please??

Ell

Oh blimey, this is fantastic. So, SO wonderful. The technique is a pet favourite of mine, using coloured paper and then two colours of pencil/crayon/whatever on it. If prints aren't offered, and the original is yoinked... then at least it'll go and become one of my digital backgrounds!'

Jenny Dolfen

Aw, sorry - it was already claimed after ten minutes! =O But I think I'll be offering matted prints!

Gwendolyn

This is beautiful and heartbreaking.

Thalia Took

That is so sad. Elrond lost so many people he loved.

Beautiful! Just a personal note: I always imagined the Númenorean kings to be beardless (at least for some generations) thanks to their elven heritage – in a similar way the Princes of Dol Amroth were beardless. But I think Tolkien never explicitly stated that.
