Description
'They bore back Beren Camlost son of Barahir upon a bier of branches with Huan the wolfhound at his side; and night fell ere they returned to Menegroth. At the feet of Hírilorn the great beech Lúthien met them walking slow, and some bore torches beside the bier. There she set her arms about Beren, and kissed him bidding him await her beyond the Western Sea; and he looked upon her eyes ere the spirit left him.'
JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion : Chapter 19: Of Beren and Lúthien

I love the colour scheme on this, as well as the facial expression of Luthien. It really conveys the tragedy. I also really like the shading on the hair.

Totally thought this image was from "Braveheart" with the scene where the English interrupt the wedding taking place when William returns to his village.. But, upon further reading of the description I realize it's just a similarity lol
Beautiful work <3

A masterpiece! I SO want to see this movie now. I really hope they get around to the Silmarillion soon.

Masterpiece is a term I always tend to dismiss of myself. Nonetheless thanks! As for a Silm movie, I'd prefer if it were left alone personally

A beautiful, touching scene. I love the soft texture with the sad blues and grays. It's like I'm in the scene with them and can feel what they feel!

Ah, thanks for the warm praise. It's a very moving scene. I really don't know where it came from - I've been listening to the Silm audiobook narrated by Martin Shaw, and got to this bit and just thought ... well, I had to try it!

It came out wonderfully. I've been listening to some audiobooks myself for the first time, but I've yet to make an illustration based on one.
