Pencil sketch of Queen Melian and King Thingol! (Able to produce the most beautiful Child of Iluvatar? You bet.)

I’ve only drawn the two of them once before and I wasn’t totally happy with either of them. The only thing I really kept from my first try is Melian’s white eyelashes - they are my lifeblood, ugh, I love them. Her hair is an homage to scorpionhoney and luaen although they draw that beautiful Melian bouffant way better

So it’s pretty late?? But i just finished these concepts I did of Thingol and Melian bc they’re my Silmarillion OTP

And of the love of Thingol and Melian there came into the world the fairest of all the Children of Ilúvatar that was or shall ever be.

But he came at last to a glade open to the stars, and there Melian stood; and out of the darkness he looked at her, and the light of Aman wa in her face. She spoke no word; but being filled with love Elwe came to her and took her hand, and straightway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood thus while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark before they spoke any word.  (The Silmarillion: Of Thingol and Melian)
