This painting was originally only intended as a study in lighting. It illustrates a scene from a Tolkien-based online-RP I'm involved in (playing Faramir, among others). It can be found here.

This is really, really, really wonderful. I'm speechless! ...

The grey tone makes everything dreary and cold. I love the sharp-yet-dull (if that made any sense) emotion expressed here. You've given Faramir a whole new light in my eyes. Your work is awe-inspiring. And that is what makes this insanely cool.Thank you very much.

Dear Miss Eissmann,

You exhibit great dexterity in the jurisdiction of depicting fictitious verisimilitudes; although I am relatively sure you have no great expertise with microelectromechanical systems, (incorporating insubstantial cantilever structures and polysilicon substrates) they operate on the sub-micron level, they call for extreme diaphaneity, which you evidently possess. 'Sleepless' looks rather antediluvian!
What did you think of Ar-Pharazon's mentality?
Quite lovely!

-IsobelEr ... whatever ...

When does this take place? don't remember it being in LotR anywhere.It's not really from LotR, but from an online RP at tolkienonline.com I'm involved in. It deals with events about 10 years after the War of the Ring, and one of the characters I play is Faramir.

hmm...it is Faramir isn't it? I just noticed that the file-name was sleepless_elf. Well, if it is instead an elf then it's by no means a lesser picture, but I just have to point out that he really looks like Faramir to me 2Yes, it's Faramir. The "elf" is only something I add to all my elfwood image-files, to mark them as such.

I think your version of Faramir improves almost always with each painting/drawing you put up, and this is one of the best. What you are able to do with watercolours just blows me away. You said this was originally just a study in lighting, and I have to say I think you succeeded very well. I really like his expression.Pleased to hear that.

Despite the fact that this isn't from canon LOTR, this seems so quintessentially Faramir. This is how I picture him sitting alone in the Houses of Healing perhaps, looking East. . . Very sad, but very lovely.

Sorry, had to comment on this one as well, i agree with the later person, this is just a lovly picture of faramir, caught when he thinks no one is watching, his emotions playing over his face. A moment to himself, to ponder, to think, to remember...Such a faramir thing to do...You can't help but fall in love with him here...There is just something so achingly lonely and beautiful about this picture...*sits and stares for hours*
