Artses!

Not the sharpest quality, as I took photos of the sketches with my mobile's camera, but I was really pleased with all three of these; not because they're technically the greatest, but because they captured very well the characters themselves.  I find it very hard to evoke characters as I see them in my head, so this recent evening of drawing is one I count as successful.

Thuringwethil has given me a lot of trouble.  I was happy when a decent characterization emerged in my mind in March, and that I was even able to draw it.





Draugluin, pretty much exactly how I envision in him in that thing I need to finish writing (except he seems to have gone a bit heavy on the eyeshadow here).






This makes me nostalgic for the era when I was writing about Valinor, and Everyone In Valinor Was Drunk with surprising frequency.  The scene below never actually occurred, though Olórin did like encouraging Curumo to drink more.

I like that Draugluin particularly, he has a great sense of being just about to bound off snarling about him.

LOL at everyone in Valinor being drunk. I wonder if the Light of the Two Trees was good for hangovers...

Yes, somehow I can see the continually drunk elves thing happening. It would sure explain some of their behaviour...

And I do like Drauglin a lot as well.
