Description "...but Dior was slain also, and Nimloth his wife, and the cruel servants of Celegorm seized his young sons and left them to starve in the forest. Of this Maedhros indeed repented, and sought for them long in the woods of Doriath; but his search was unavailing, and of the fate of Elurรฉd and Elurรญn no tale tells." (J.R.R. Tolkien "The Silmarillion")
In the sleepless winter nights, when the sky is full with stars and the cold wind blow the shadows appear from the past.

This is my entry for contest "Elves on the snow" of the group

Oh, the way you show E&E, as if they are already ghosts in the cold night... makes me shiver. Lovely art, very unsettling, as it should be, for this tale.

Thank you, I'm glad, that you like it.
Maybe they aren't ghost, just shadows from the past, a memory...

Thank you for the kind words!
I'm very surprised at the first place but I'm happy ( I thought maybe the third place, but not the first.)
Thanks again.

Lovely concept. I really like the mood and movement here. I guess the scan swallowed some of the brighter whites? That always happens to me when I work with coloured pencils on dark paper. Hard to reproduce.

Vielen Dank! Ich bin sehr froh, daรŸ es dir gefรคllt. Ja mein Scanner immer stehlt die Farben, aber Photoshop ist mein Freund. Dieses Zeichnung sieht nicht aus, wie das Original, aber erinnert mir daran.

It wasn't hard to make it. I needed black paper, coloured pencils and pastel chalks.
