If you are interested in having me make something like this as a commission for you,
note me and we can discuss price and details!


IDEA
I made this Mae at a very impulsive desire to draw his face, and this pose is one I have always thought would fit him perfectly. I see Maedhros as a very problematic first born, with a burning desire to make his father proud at the same time as he wants to do the right thing, which we all know doesn't exactly categorize Fëanor's plans. This conflict inside of him is reflected in his rough, unkept hair, which is very uncategoristic for the Noldor style, and is my headcanon for his apperance for this reason exactly. He is also a direct contrast to Fingon, his cousin and best friend, despite their father's rivalry and hatred. This contrast in them is the base in their friendship and also what makes them more sympathetic to their father's issues and understanding for each other. (Yes, I could go on and on).

(I hope to be making one of Fingon as well, probably on blue paper)

TECHNIQUE
This technique is still very new to me, so I am experimenting, and I will not stop anytime soon. It is so fun, and for a few years I've felt that I haven't been in my element with digital art, but I love using colors, so I bought these colour pencils based on Oil colors, and they are so fun to use with colored paper. I highly suggest trying them out, even tho they are a bit more expensive than regular pencils.

As always, please let me know what you think of this, and don't be shy to message me about commissions or other things. Heart


Cheers,
Iggy
