I like this one. A lot. I like how much motion it carries. Poor Mim. .:. This post is part of the Series ‘Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves – Illustrating Tolkiens Silmarillion’ You will find all the pictures in my Portfolio
Winter to Spring – Day 1
I’ve always liked the St. Barbara’s tradition.
.:. Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves .:. Of Beren’s and Lúthien’s Arrival at Thangorodrim
Well, here’s my non-dancing Lúthien. The design resulted from the Glaurung and Morgoth drawings. I must say I like it. But I like Beren’s wolf a bit more than the bat. Sorry Lúthien. .:.

.:. Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves .:. Of Lúthien Tinúviel
Lúthien, oh Lúthien. I had a lot of problems with this one. Still have. First of all I think Lúthien ist a bit overrated. Well, ok, she’s really a tough one, but most of the time all you see of her is she doing some dancing, more or less well dressed. As you may have […]
.:. Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves .:. Of Morgoth and the F-Elf
Well, I think this drawing is the godfather of this series. Although I did not invent the whole f-elves … thingy, when I drew this one, it was the first time I used the phrase in reference to one of my drawings. .:. This post is part of the Series ‘Mightiest and Fairest of all […]
.:. Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves .:. Of Maedros I
You know, I really liked my Idea for this one. The black paper, the white paint. The white foreground the silhouettes further back … But then my boyfriend came, looked at it and said: Looks great, but – you know, it’s not right. He does sit on top of that mountain … .:. This post […]
.:. Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves .:. Of the Girdle of Melian
I’ve always imagined the Girdle of Melian to be – at least in parts- botanical. Some maze of trees and shrubs and thorns … A bit like the castle of ’sleeping beauty‘ … briar rose and blackberries … In the drawing I kept it a bit simpler. Just vegetation before a hill and two clearly […]

They just sit there, doing nothing, looking different every day.
.:. Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves .:. Of the old Dwarven Road
I like this one. I like the merging of the elvish and the dwarven styles. The dwarfish side seems to be prone to circles. The treetops are simple spirals, and so are the waves. It’s a design piece I adopted from the before mentioned hobbit drawings. The elvish side is the art deco side. The […]
.:. Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves .:. Of the burning of the White Ships
Do we have Ships? – Yes. Are they White? – Yes. Do we have Water? – Yes. Are the Ships burning? – Yes. Is there anything else? – No. Title and Picture are a match. That’s good. .:. This post is part of the Series ‘Mightiest and Fairest of all F-Elves – Illustrating Tolkiens Silmarillion’ […]
