Description
Another coloured pencil drawing. (For my coloured pencil drawing of Finwe and Indis' children: fav.me/d8bmwlw ; and my drawing of Fingolfin's children is on the way
)Top: Finrod Left: Angrod Right: Aegnor Bottom: Galadriel
I dated the picture when I finished the ballpoint lineart. Colours actually came later.

I love your interpretations of them! The contrast between Angrod's sleek, straight hair and Aegnor's messy curls is nice, as is the apparent resemblance between Finrod and Galadriel…
(When I came across the "stiff hair rising upon his head like flames" description for Aegnor, I couldn't help but picture him with Cloud Strife type anime spikes. Which made for a rather weird mental visual, if anything. I like your version a thousand times better ^^)

I also tend to like imagine Finrod and Galadriel very close in looks. Mainly because they're already very close in nature in some extent skills, so them looking similar in some ways / obvious siblings is a good add to signify that.

Glad you love them
My Aegnor used to have a hairstyle not unlike that of Finrod's and Galadriel's, and back then I needed a gust of wind to raise his hair up (see fav.me/d7wshag) , but it has grown messier with each picture I made of him
I based my first Finrod piece on Cate Blanchett's Galadriel, and his hairdo basically remains unchanged ever since even though he has developed a more angular jawline over time. Suppose that explains the resemblance XD
(And by the way, I googled the Cloud Strife guy, and... wierd visual for an Elf, indeed

I personally think the messiness really fits him ^^
