But when the great Gods and all their folk were armed, then Manwë climbed into his blue chariot whose three horses were the whitest that roamed in Oromë’s domain, and his hand bore a great white bow that would shoot an arrowlike a gust of wind across the widest seas.

I finally finished painting Saruman! I decided a while ago that I wanted to make at least one of the wizards a woman, but I had a very hard time trying to figure out what that would look like. I couldn’t use the classic long beard or pointy hat (Saruman is not described as wearing one, as far as I could find.) So yeah, that challenge turned into a looot of thumbnailing and experimentation. I got some feedback from some friends at work along the way, so that was helpful as well. Saruman is described as wearing robes of many colours when Gandalf visits him in the book, so I kind of played up the colour here a little bit as well.
The whole image didn’t seem to fit here, but for those of you who wish to see the full thing, you can find it on Artstation (although you’re not missing much here.)

Maedhros… again
Rebloging for the night crew….
Just kidding, I have no idea what time it is.

I started a gallery at INprnt where I’ll be uploading images for sale as high quality archival prints. The number one question I’ve been asked recently is if I had considered selling prints of my work… Well I have considered it and now I am 🙂 here’s a link to my gallery and rest assured there will be more to come!

Thank You!

vardasvapors asked: OMG HOW ABOUT THAT LINE….“[Isildur] alone stood by his father in that last mortal contest; and by Gil-galad only Círdan stood, and I [Elrond]….” something about that last fight with them against Sauron.
generic line up … instead of giving sauron any features i decided to put pearls on cirdan’s helm and re-draw gil-galad’s left eye like 2000 times

@sathinfection congrats on finishing Of Like Kind. You have a talent for eldritchy monsters and creepy atmosphere.
