Description Legolas' song about Nimrodel in LotR:

(...)
A stare was bound upon her brows,
A light was in her hair
As sun upon the golden boughs
In LΓ³rien the fair.

(...)

Beside the falls of Nimrodel,
By water clear and cool,
Her voice as falling silver fell
Into the shining pool.

(...)

(sorry Amroth, didn't paint you this time...)

=====
Nimrodel and Amroth went through... ah... an accident, like said... a sea accident, in fact...

anyway, check the pencil version for the full story.

This is supposed to be Nimrodel in Valinor, after they both died and went to Mandos and were reborn in Valinor. At least elves are patient, they had to grow up all over again...

This is young Nimrodel (only about 100, hehehehe) watching Amroth coming. I guess they must have found weird to see each other with different faces... but Nimrodel was still beautiful, singing and with golden hair...


happily ever after

Yes, this has nicest strokes, but I still find the lineart takes away much of the effort you did :s
And I sooo love when people draw stuff that's not explicit in the writings (but they are implicit though, not those horrible "fan"arts where they made up things and disgusting pairings ).

yeah, I like the idea of working on the breaches that Tolkien left. And about the disgusting pairings, once again I completely agree with you.

oh yeah. Just because I HATE endings like Romeo and Juliet...
but Romeo and Juliet only had one shot, right? They were mortals. These two, Nimrodel and Amroth, could have a second chance. So I gave it to them...

I love how golden you've made her hair look! It really suits her. (:

this Tolkien character is particularly famous for the goldeness of her hair
"A light was in her hair
As sun upon the golden boughs"



thanks for the comment... Nimrodel was kinda lonely in this page without any...
