1. ERYN GALEN Now of old the name of that forest was Greenwood the Great, and its wide halls and aisles were the haunt of many beasts and of birds of bright song; and there was the realm of King Thranduil under the oak and the beech.
Elrond the Herald. Inspired by this post! Which I think someone had reblogged with a tag saying they could see Elrond wearing it. (IF THAT WAS YOU WHO REBLOGGED IT PLEASE HIT ME UP WITH THE LINK TO YOUR POST PLEASE! SO I CAN GIVE YOU CREDIT!)
Anyhow, Elrond when he was herald for Gil-galad! Man, those second age fashions sure were something, huh?
Painting is so hard, especially without line art! I used Photoshop and a couple of Kyle’s brushes: Oil detail brush 30px and the Oil lush brushes mostly. My second digital painting of 2018 and, really, ever. XD The only reference I used was the headless mannequin and puzzling over photos of Elrond’s head. There’s no way I could paint Hugh’s face accurately so I tried to just use some of the more defining features and hand-wave the rest.
If you have any good painting tutorials please send them my way!
Bonus gif under the cut!
More commissions for @lost-gryphin after the durins’ one! Thank you so much for commissioning me again and thank you for waiting me ;u;
Because it’s such a lovely Thranduil/Legolas fanart.
