Finrod Felagund, later known as Nom the wise and lord of the Caves, is one of my favourite character's from Tolkien's Silmarillion (again, yes). This is the first meeting between elves and men. Finrod enters the camp of these men and begins to play his harp.

It is great but for the earring and the dark hair. Finrod was blond >arrgghh!! Why'd he _have_ to be _blond_< This looks more like Maglor, and personally I think his expression et all is much more fitting for Maglor, in mine own humble oppinion.

I agree with Mororë, his neck is too long and a little crooked. Other than that (and the fact that Finrod has blond hair) I can find nothing to criticize. I absolutely love the expression on Finrod's face, a classic melancholy elven look. This is not how I imagined this scene at all (wasn't it at night?) but you have done an excellent job of it. By the way, don't stop drawing Tolkien elves with pointy ears. They are way cool!

*sigh* Finrod, Finrod...why must he look similar to *my* Finrod (yeah, same name) whom I love and whom I'll never hold in my arms? *cries*

But that's why I like the picture...

Hey, NICE work! Finrod is my favourite too, and this scene is really lovely (even if he *is* meant to be blonde ... just flash your artistic license).

AAAAAAAH! I love your style... it's great! I also love Finrod... my favorite elf-lord anyway, besides the fact that you managed to draw him so wonderfully! I love the armor, and the Men in the background looking all amazed... I know I would be if someone that gorgeous just happened to walk into my camp =) Lovely work! Keep it up =)

I have to agree with Hellga he looks more like Maglor than Finrod and a very sexy Maglor too....you should draw a Maglor and all the other sons of Fëanor..........or Fëanor himself..........mmm I love Fëanor (rambles on for a while on the benefits of sexy evil Noldo elves)

I suppose he could also be Fingon. Fingon had dark hair and played a harp sometimes. Did you maybe get the two confused?

Not that it matters, I know people who draw Fingolfin as a blonde (he was a brunette) give Maedhros black hair (he was definitely a redhead) and make Idril Celebrindal who was clearly stated as having hair like golden rays of sunlight a brunette too. They are wrong of course but their pics are still good so it doesn't matter.

Just something about the hair- oh no, drop it.
Awesome, that Finrod...and the background is fine too.
