| 13 Feb 2004 |  K. Bjerke | This is so wonderful in every way! There's so much emotion to it!! | |
| 20 Feb 2004 | Beata | Heh, this picture actually forced me to go back and re-read the part about Túrin in the Silmarillion. I at first thought you had made him way too beautiful (I remembered him as a rough outlaw...).
But see what one may find;
"...and he was in truth the son of Morwen Eledhwen to look upon: dark-haired and pale-skinned, with grey eyes, and his face more beautiful than any other among mortal Men, in the Elder days".
You were right. I have been wrong to scorn Finduilas all this time; now I'm in love with Túrin too...:-/
Wonderful picture, by the way, like the rest of your art! | |
| 11 Mar 2004 |  Jon Ringsevjen | This is the first picture I've ever seen of Finduilas! Although I've always pictures her with dark hair (Not sure about her true haircolour though), she's very beautiful in this one! I think her death in the Silmarillion is one of the most horrible (as in well-written but tragic) scenes in the book. What a cruel fate..   Hanna Lehmusto replies: "Tragic indeed, isn't it? That's why I love the story... But about Finduilas's hair, Gwindor called her Faelivrin, "sunlight at lake Ivrin" and I have hard time imagining that a lady with dark hair would've been called that (unless she was a really sunny person *g*) And her great-grandmother was a vanya (Indis, wide of Finwë) so she really could've been blonde.. Nah, enough nitpicking. Thanks for the nice comment! " | |
| 28 Mar 2004 | Morwen | GET HER HANDS OFF OF MY SON!!!!!!!!!! Being Turin's mother (acording to Mr.Tolkien and my Elven name) I'm a little over-protective despite my 3000 years of age. | |
| 8 May 2004 | Finduilas | I feel a certain connection to Finduilas. She is my elvish namesake. The picture is beautiful. Thank you for shring your talent with all of us! | |
| 17 Oct 2004 | Silmarilianna | Hi!This is a beautiful picture and also very touching for me 'cause Turin is my most beloved of Tolkien's heroes.Keep up the good work! | |
| 9 Dec 2004 | Anonymous | TURIN!!! Oh dear Eru thank you SO much for drawing him so beautifully...BEST picture of Turin I've ever seen. *starts hyperventilating* | |
| 9 Jul 2005 |  Margot Bongers | Ah, pore couple, you drew them magificant  | |
| 9 Feb 2006 |  Erin E. Johnston | Being a Silma-nut, this is SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Gwindor TToTT!!!!!!! | |
| 13 Dec 2006 | Tolkien Freak | This is very nice, I love the feeling of this picture... but I think Turin looks just a little too... elvish?  Hanna Lehmusto replies: "Perhaps even a little too pretty for a human, but then again, "and even among the Elves he might be taken for one from the great houses of the Noldor", so his elvishness (is that a word?) in this case, I think, is only proper...
