SciFi and Fantasy Art: Varda Elentári

'...Varda, Lady of the Stars, who knows all the regions of Eä. In light is her power and her joy. ...Of all the Great Ones who dwell in this world the Elves hold Varda most in reverence and love. Elbereth they name her, and they call upon her name out of the shadows of Middle-earth, and uplift it in song at the rising of the stars.'
(The Silmarillion) Watercolour, February 2002. This too suffered from resizing, Here is a bigger scan.

20 Dec 2003	Isilnar	Loading... Lovely. I love everything about it, except i think you could do so much more (and i mean this for all of your artwork) if you were a bit bolder in your use of color. This looks a bit washed-out. Great job giving it luminosity, but i think you can still keep that while adding some more, contrasting colors.
23 Dec 2003	Beleg Cuthalion	Loading... A wonderful picture, though it seems too light in color in some spots, but I like the star background.
15 May 2004	Amy McKenna	Loading... This is just beautiful. Watercolor can be a b**** sometimes, but this is perfect.
22 Nov 2004	Kati 'Katty' Vanhatalo	Loading... YaY! My fav valie!!!
17 Dec 2004	Blonde Elf	Loading... Vedui', Geez! You are wonderful at watercolor! It just isn't fair! Anyway, I am a huge Lotr fan! (And an even bigger Elf fan!) And I love this picture! You do some of the best waterfall fanart for LOTR that I have ever seen! Love it and keep up the wonderful work! Namaarie!
7 Feb 2005	Jane Coate	Loading... This is a really nice, subtle picture; it has a really quiet beauty. Some pictures of Varda I've seen are really overdone. Good work.
8 May 2005	Suomalainen	Loading... Hei, kiva tietää, että joku suomalainenkin osaa piirtää noin hyvin! Tosi mahtava!!! Noi hiukset on upeet!!!!
1 Sep 2006	Altariel	Loading... This picture is another one of my favorites. I just love the colours and the fact that I now have something to base Varda on when I read the Silmarillion! I kina immagined her hair black like the night but I like blond better though because it looks like soft starlight.
29 May 2007	Charlothiena	Loading... I love Tolkien's books too, and I think that your picture of Varda is excellent-I can almost imagine it on a wall at Rivendell
9 Jul 2008	Aleatha	Loading... She so luminiscant and celestial, just like the stars she creates. Totally how I imagine the Star Queen.
