SciFi and Fantasy Art: Elbereth

'A Elbereth Gilthoniel,
silivren penna miriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-diriel
o galadhremmin ennorath,
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, si nef aearon!'

[...]
O stars that in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by her were sown,
In windy fields now bright and clear
We see your silver blossom blown!

O Elbereth Gilthoniel!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees,
Thy starlight on the Western Seas.'

(From the Fellowship of the Ring by JRRTolkien)

3 Sep 2004	Justin A 'Merlion Emrys' Williams	Loading... Varda/Elbereth is possibly my favorite Valar, and this is definitly one of my top 3 or so favorite images of her. I love the colour, so nice and bright, and the wonderful flowing circular feel it has. She has a very gentle happy look. When I get ready to do my inevitable Valar tour, this is definitly going on it if you dont object. Come by and visit my library shelf, sadly small as it is. Natalia Nikitin replies: "(A somewhat belated) Thank you! I'm glad you like it and you are quite welcome to put it on any tour."

19 Aug 2005	Carolin Emily Southern	Loading... Wow.... stares
30 Dec 2006	Catrina 'Max' Callahan	Loading... Oh my....stares this is AMAZING!!! I absoulutly adore this picture and if i was any good at leaving comments i would come up with some sort of really articulant way of saying that, but seeing as how i don't even know if i spelled articulant right i guess i'll just leave it at being: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Natalia Nikitin replies: "Heh, thank you!"

17 Nov 2007	Susie	Loading... Zallé! Why no mods? Natalia Nikitin replies: "Because only new art is put into highlights and this one was among the first four pieces I uploaded to Elfwood all them years ago. "
14 Mar 2008	Natalie Adams	Loading... oh, she is so bright...it really is like the stars...so pretty!!!!
8 Jul 2008	Black Swan	Loading... You’ve really pictured her living up to her titles as "Star Queen" and "Star Kindler". Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thank you."
23 Aug 2008	Minna Turunen	Loading... This is really beautiful picture too. I love the magical and divine atmosphere of the picture. The colours and all the bright stars really make the picture stand out. Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thanks. It was quite inspiring the way Tolkien described her and the light of her stars."
