Drawing for Dawn

[hrymfaxe]

So this is for dawn_felagund . It is actually the whole reason I even started this journal: I read Dawns wonderful story: Another Man's Cage. It caused a multitude of images to explode into my mind, vying for attention. I knew that if any of them ever made it into the real world, I wanted Dawn to know how much she inspired me, so I wrote and asked her for permission to draw based on her stories. And I recieved a reply from this amazingly friendly and welcoming person, which only made me more determined to actually do something about these drawings. So Dawn, for you, Macalaure and Findekano from AMC chapter 27, when Findekano is playing Maitimos song.

 

I would love to hear what you think - any criticism, good or bad, is welcome. :-)

Again, thank you. It really is a beautiful drawing; I am so honored. :) I'm not one to critique artwork, so to me, it looks perfect! I love wee!Findekano and his little hands on the harp, the graceful contours of the harp ... and the ties on Macalaure's shirt! I don't know why they delight me so, but they do; it's like you've looked into my mind to see how I dress my Elves. :^D

Thank you, thank you! *knus*

I'm happy you noted the shape of the harp! I chose it, because I think you wrote somewhere that it was mostly the Teleri who loved music, and so the shape is supposed to invoke swans (as much as it can while keeping the general shape of a harp, ai, the contradicting agendas!)
And you have no idea how happy I am that you dress your Feanorians casually - it is so annoyingly hard to draw convincing elaborate robes...

Again nice lights :) But who is who - I haven't red AMC, yet.

Haha, thank you, lights are about the only thing I have found out how to do in Photoshop so far! :) Macalaure is listening and Findekano is playing.
