Description
Tol Sirion was an island on the upper reaches of the River Sirion where Finrod Felagund built the tower of Minas Tirith to keep watch upon the doings of Morgoth on the northern plain of Ard-galen and prevent passage south by Orcs through the Pass of Sirion, the West Gate of Beleriand. It was under the command of Finrod's brother Orodreth. The island was renamed Tol-in-Gaurhoth after its capture by Sauron.pen and watercolour
This picture (together with two others: Barad Eithel and Esgaroth ) was drawn for an art contest "O lahviΔku miruvoru" ("For a bottle of miruvor") by Czech Tolkien society . I got second place.

Β This is a very fine image; highly distinct from Minas Tirith of the Third Age, but one can see that both are worthy of the title 'Tower on Guard' (it is also easy to imagine how Sauron might have reworked it into the lair of his Werewolves, turning something a little like Neuschwanstein into something even more like Castle Dracula!).

love the way the castle seems to be in an different style than the background and it works really good together!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I thought the castle would stand out better from the background with a sharper outline, whereas the background feels better when it's softer.

I try to develop sort of a style, especially for the elvish architecure of Middle-earth in this case. I'm glad you like it!

I like how the sky, water, mountains and rocks are done. Also, the place has a unique design. I find the black lines a bit distracting as the background has none, but apart from that, great job.

Lovely picture. I especially like the way you coloured the mountains. They look very majestic.

Haha, so weird. I was about to say it reminded me something out of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, and found in the description, it comes from Lord of the Rings... (everyone keeps saying that the former is a total rip-off of the latter)
This is very cool, though.
