Description
For my BFFF rowanbaines Thanks for the request! This is the first time I’ve really drawn Maedhros by himself so I was glad to do it!
Maedhros in Castle in the Sky!
I was thinking of this quote as I was sketching him:
‘But when they were landed, Maedhros the eldest of his sons, and on a time the friend of Fingon ere Morgoth’s lies came between, spoke to Feanor, saying: “Now what ships and rowers will you spare to return, and whom shall they bear hither first? Fingon the valiant?“
Then Feanor laughed as one fey, and he cried: “None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved. Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!” Then Maedhros alone stood aside, but Feanor caused fire to be set to the white ships of the Teleri.’ —The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien.
