Celeborn

Description

That's the version of Celeborn that goes with this :



It was already finished yesterday but I made few corrections on the colors. It was interesting to draw, especially for his clothes, it's a pretty weird design, I don't know why I did that...Nevertheless, it's not that awful.
I already explained why I like associating night and elves but I write it again :

"Why this choice of night ? I think it's something that fits well with elves. The night and the stars have a very important connotation in Tolkien writings (especially seeing the elves singing to Elbereth (Varda) who's a sort of Goddess of stars).
Moreover, since Galadriel and Celeborn were both born before the birth of the sun, it seems almost natural to associate them to night... yeah yeah I know Galadriel was in Valinor BUT she lived with her mother's kin in Alqualonde which is a city that remained in the dark because the light of the sacred trees was hidden by mountains and the city was on the other side to be close to the sea.

And the "night" allows me to give them a look a little mystique through the night and their light is often represented/described as coming from their being or their souls
"




*goes back to her anatomy lessons*

Another night association too is that the elves were born under the stars (of course since it was before the sun lol) It makes sense that a starry night is especially sacred to them and brings out their beauty the most. I totally agree ^^ I just love seeing you draw Celeborn. He needs more love.
