SciFi and Fantasy Art The death of Finrod Felagund by Anke Katrin Eissmann

In the pits of Sauron Beren and Felagund lay, and all their companions were now dead; but Sauron purposed to keep Felagund to the last, for he perceived that he was a Noldo of great might and wisdom, and he deemed that in him lay the secret of their errand. But when the wolf came for Beren, Felagund put forth all his power, and burst his bonds; and he wrestled with the werewolf, and slew him with his hands and teeth; yet he himself was wounded to the death.

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Of Beren and Lúthien

18 Feb 2004	Katherine 'Kitteh' Hallberg	Loading... I'd like to comment this was a horrifically sad scene (what scene in the Silmarillion WASN'T sad?) and you illustrated it so beautifully. I adore the soft monotone of the picture offset by the blood of Finrod.. and Beren's positioning shows so much of anatomy knowledge. Gah.Thank you very much.
1 Jun 2004	Elbereth	Loading... cries so loud that people start to stare This is really sad. Beautiful, but sad. You do seem to favor darker and less vibrant colors, don't you? That really adds a lot to this picture. Gee, I cry so much I should change my name to Nienna.Sorry to have made you want to cry
17 Jun 2004	Felagund	Loading... Whoa! This pic is great. A frend of mine told me about it. It's great. I like the strry so much that for more than a year my nickname is Felagund.Glad you like the painting as well.
17 Oct 2004	Aldara	Loading... Thank you. For the courage it takes to draw one of the most powerful (and by far the saddest) moment of the Silmarilion. Just - thank you.And thank you for the comment.
23 Dec 2005	Erin E. Johnston	Loading... And so, the obsessive Elf-loving artist girl cries her heart out, because of the incredibly sad picture. "HE WAS ONE OF MY PEOPLE!!!" She cries, and soaks her keyboard with her tears. She will not aknowledge the fact that she is not an Elf, or that she is possibley MORE abusive of her characters than Tolkien ever was. And so.. nerrator gets thwacked over the head by an annoyed Erin Shut up, FOOL!! Anyways, I love this picture. Tragic pictures are just totally uber, and this rocks. I LOVE you style. Please pay no attention to the so-called "nerrator" XP. goes back to soaking keyboard
3 Feb 2006	Steph Steph Salt	Loading... Wonderful! It is so powerful and tragic. I do admire your talent. I got here by following a tour "...simply tragic" by Tanya Maria Yeritsidou
3 Feb 2006	Anonymous	Loading... I like your artwork as much as I liked the scene. It is equally sad and just as beautiful.
10 Feb 2006	Mike Yurko	Loading... Wonderful...simply wonderful. The shading and the lighting are fantastic. Wonderful. Keep up the good work. Your fellow Silmarillian fan, Michael Yurko
16 Aug 2006	Anime Freak	Loading... Awesome, just awesome. the story and the picture.
21 Jan 2007	ChingMan Wong	Loading... (Hysterical sobbing) Why??? Finrod was my favorite character!!! I don't think I can capture such a tragic scene like you anytime soon. The blood looks great, but I imagined the wolf to be the size of a golf-cart. Back to my sketch book, then...
