The Agony of the Helcaraxe
|
Can't Post
|
|
"The fire of their hearts was young, and led by Fingolfin and his sons, and by Finrod and Galadriel, they dared to pass into the bitterest North; and finding no other way they endured at last the terror of the Helcaraxe and the cruel hills of ice. Few of the deeds of the Noldor thereafter surpassed that desperate crossing in hardihood or woe. There Elenwe the wife of Turgon was lost, and many others perished also; and it was with a lessened host that Fingolfin set foot at last upon the Outer Lands."
--The Silmarillion
I had to photograph this with my camera, since the original is pretty big (20 inches x 13 1/2 inches) and could not be scanned. So it's not the greatest reproduction ever, and you can't see a lot of the detail.
This drawing appeared in an issue of Mythlore. It was a center spread, and I split the title so parts of it would appear on both pages, with plenty of room for the "gutter" in the middle, where the journal was stapled and folded.
If I could do it over, I'd put the whole title on the left, and leave the signature on the right by itself.
Pen and Ink. 1985.

No, they couldn't have left immediately after Feanor's speech...
