Legendarium Ladies April: Melian
Apr. 1st, 2019 03:40 pmI have been looking forward to this month, and have started a list of ladies that I would like to paint, and first up is Melian.
“Melian was the name of a Maia who served both Vána and Estë; she dwelt long in Lórien, tending the trees that flower in the gardens of Irmo, ere she came to Middle-earth. Nightingales sang about her wherever she went.” The Silmarillion.
The painting style is new for me and heavily inspired by the incomparable Carne Griffiths. Check out his website and prepare to be stunned I had a lot of fun trying it out, and I don't think this will be the last time I do something like this. I was especially pleased at how one of my inks would behave completely unpredictably when I rewet it! :D
