SciFi and Fantasy Art: Meadhros in torment.

Now this is another of my Silm illustrations. It is of Maedhros hanging as Morgoth left him for 15 years. Rough stuff. There was much commentary between my friends on what state he would be in and I decided that windblown, undernourished and very VERY miserable was about as much as I was prepared to portray. It was all that was really neccessary to cary of the torment.

I love this picture! Maedhros is a big favourite of mine, and that part of the book always gives me a lump in the throat.

Oh, Maitimo... my poor, poor elf! I mostly hate Morgoth for this cruel deed!

You can see the pain and the torment he must be in - both physically and mentally. This scene in the Silmarillion makes me cry. Thanks the Valar he had such a faithful friend who dared to enter these lands to rescue him. *sniff*

I can recommend some fanfiction about this: check the Henneth Annun Story Archives for stories from "Ithilwen"... and this one was heartbreaking too: http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?STID=1293
