SciFi and Fantasy Art Beren´s trial by Anke Katrin Eissmann

Then Thingol looked upon Beren in scorn and anger; but Melian was silent. 'Who are you,' said the King, 'that come hither as a thief, and unbidden dare to approach my throne?' But Beren being filled with dread, for the splendour of Menegroth and the majesty of Thingol were very great, answered nothing. Therefore Lúthien spoke, and said: 'He is Beren son of Barahir, lord of Men, mighty foe of Morgoth, the tale of whose deeds is become a song even among the Elves.'

13 Nov 2003	Anonymous	Loading... This is lovely. Thingol is my favorite elf of all time (unorthodox, I know). Have you thought of doing a picture of Thingol and Melian's meeting? It's one of my favorite Silmarillion scenes.Yes, that's a beautiful scene. Perhaps I'll do it one day.
5 Dec 2003	Súl	Loading... It is beautiful. You are extremely gifted, Anke-Katrin, and you must be thankful. Many people in the world dream and wish for such talent, yet find it not. You put hope in my heart. I have seen your artwork in numerous places and I must say that you have sure captured my thoughts. For we must see alike for how you do your art, I read and see in my mind. You are the best artist that I have seen that does work based on the works of Tolkien. You should be very proud. SúlWell, when I look at my paintings I see what can be improved, so it's hard to be very proud . But I appreciate nice comments like yours.
23 Jan 2004	Elf From Space	Loading... Wow! Impressive art all around for the Simarrilion illustrations! VERY impressive! I am also glad to see some Eowyn/Faramir fanart, but Faramir really ought to have longer hair ;_;Hm, I've always imagined him with short hair for some reason.
3 Feb 2004	Danielle	Loading... Just how I saw this when I read that passage in the book, it's like being in the same hall with them! You really are a grat artist I really like your work!I'm glad to hear it.
8 Apr 2004	Bella	Loading... stares in awe wow. Love the veil and the pearls on the dude's shirt, tunic thingy. Excellent use of watercolors!

15 Apr 2006	Anoriel from Poland	Loading... Dear,mrs.Eissmann. I write to you to say that you're one of the best artists of Elfwood that painting most beautiful works no one has seen before or for a long time.However,I'm drawing and painting too. And also want to say that you're one of my favorite artists,just like Marta Aguado and I really really really love your works. ~Love Anoriel!! Cheers...
16 Aug 2006	Anime Freak	Loading... Wow. I like this view and the scenery, no wonder Beren was speechless.
20 Jan 2007	Estel Dunadan	Loading... I just love Thingol's crown. Is that what he wears, according to the books? (Sorry, haven't read all of The Silmarillion.) And is that the Nauglamir he's wearing? It's beautiful, much more so than I imagined. Thank you to the person who commented about the light of Aman in Thingol's eyes. I heartily agree. Same as everybody, I love Melian and her veil. Your costume designs are stupendous! I especially like the embroidery you so often put on the edges of robes.
9 Jul 2008	Moonstone_and_Tiger’s Eye	Loading... What I find so impressive about this painting is you created so many different textures by only using watercolors. From Melian’s sheer veil to Thingol silken robes, everything seems to have the feel of it’s fabric. I also love the subtle detailing you have on the royal couple’s clothes; very beautiful.
10 Aug 2008	Dorina	Loading... Wow, you’ve really captured how I imagine the Court of Menegroth to look in my imagination! I love how wide and detailed everything is, including the people within it. Another spectacular work!
