SciFi and Fantasy Art: Beren and Lúthien

'Beyond his hope she returned to him where he sat in darkness, and long ago in the Hidden Kingdom she laid her hand in his. Thereafter often she came to him, and they went in secret through the woods together from spring to summer; and no others of the Children of Ilúvatar have had joy so great, though the time was brief.' (The Silmarillion)

I just love her hair. This is one of the best Beren and Luthien pics. The colours are amazingly beautiful, dreamily and mystical.. and romantic! I love your work.

*Sigh* I sooooo want any relationship I get into to be just like that story (without the sad ending) and you have captured that spirit beautifully in this painting. You can really see on Luthien's face how much she is in love with Beren and tat she would do anything to be with him even for just a short while. So romantic, I just love it.

I don't know who they are really. But this drawing is so romantic!

your entire gallery is beautiful, but this one stoped me dead in my tracks. I love it.

Gosh, makes me feel so lonely.

But for a picture, that's a good thing. It means you've done an awesome job of showing how in love they are with very simple means. Monochrome was a good idea, and purple paper was an even better idea: it simultaneously communicates love, passion, quiet tranquility, and evening. I particularly love the trees and Luthien's dress.

This is a picture that really captures the beauty and passion of Luthien and Beren’s love for one another. They truly have eyes only for each other in it. I also like how you used a soft, shaded, use of pencils; it really brings a dreamy feel to the work. Also your use of purple paper makes me believe it’s really a twilight evening that the two lovers are enjoying.

This is amazing. When I draw, this is the kind of "atmosphere" I want to create, beautiful, bittersweet, romantic, mysterious, enchanting, dreamy. You’ve done a beautiful job of capturing everything.

This is definitly one of the most beautiful and touching images I’ve ever seen of Beren and Luthien. I hope you do more pictures of them.

This is a perfect reindition of Beren Erchamion and Luthien Tinuviel; the atmosphere you’ve created totally fitts them as a couple, with it’s perfect, yet fleeting, yet immortal, feeling to it, and I think Tolkien would have loved it too. You know, ’The Lay of Leithian’, was his favorite story, because he based the characters of Luthien and Beren, after himself and his beloved wife Edith, and he also used their love story, as the foundation for Luthien and Beren’s. In fact, after Edith died, Tolkien had Luthien placed on his tombstone, and when he died, Beren was placed on his.
