The Elven Gate of Mirkwood
|
Can't Post
|
|
The first piece of art to be put in my Middle-earth adventure sketchbook (as I call it). I'm going to have it be sort of "first person", so to speak, where the drawings (and any occasional writing as well) will be done as if a character in the world (a Mirkwood Elf, to be more precise) was adventuring around Middle-earth and documenting all the beautiful sights he came across. The first drawing is the last view of his homeland: the Elven gate on the western edge of Mirkwood forest. The writing on the left is in Sindarin, in Tengwar letters, and it says "The journey begins", for indeed, this is where it does.

I'm just going to post it as a URL, since I can't figure out how to get the file size to be small enough: http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t419/Legomaster34/Resized-WWDHK_zps77593538.jpg?t=1409952015 Sorry for my large image! I have a deviantART page for it too: http://ginnyfan765.deviantart.com/art/The-Journey-Begins-480287657

You did a really great job! Please share the rest with us as you draw.

I like the feeling of depth in the center, makes you feel like there's such a dark path beyond the gates. Very nice!
