A sketch for an illustration series for ''Children of Hurin''
I guess, I have to add, that drawing Melian, I've been trying to achieve a certain resemblance with images of Tara.
It might be a blasphemy for a Tolkien lover, but that's how I understand her character

beautiful, her face kinda reminds me of a young Meryl Streep
Her eyes made me speechless. Nice work.
There Melian came, the Lady grey,
and dark and long her tresses lay,
beneath her silver girdle seat
"Lay of Leithian"
Melian is one of my favorite Maiar, and without question this is the best representation of her I have ever seen. The artistry of this is just incredible. The hair. The eyes. The shading and detail. Very beautiful and noble.

Oddly enough, I find a resemblance too, but with actress Madeleine Stowe, especially in the colored ones.
Anyways, just wanted to tell you that your art is utterly amazing. The details, the mood, the whole perfectness of it... I've been staring at your gallery in utter admiration all night. Now I want to re-read all my Tolkien books.

No doubt they added your sketch in LOTR Wiki, it's so amazing
Did you base it on a real person, or simply drew this out of your mind?

This is absolutely wonderful! I ove her jewelry or whatever you call the things in her hair. Very Slavic, you don't see that very often in Tolkien art it seems.
I adore your Melian!
