SciFi and Fantasy Art: Thingol and Melian

'But he came at last to a glade open to the stars, and there Melian stood; and out of the darkness he looked at her, and the light of Aman was in her face. She spoke no word; but being filled with love Elwë came to her and took her hand, and straightway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood thus while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark before they spoke any word.' (The Silmarillion, Thingol and Melian)

1 Sep 2006	Altariel	Loading... OMG! I loooooooove this picture! I was writing a quiz and looking for pictures to put on the outcomes and i fell in love with your Nienor picture. I especially like this one because of the similarity in their relationship and Beren and Luthien's. Keep up the good work!
