This is Arien from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion. She was described as tending the golden flowers in Vana's gardens before she was chosen to guide the vessel of the sun. This was done a couple of years ago as my second attempt at a picture with a background... took me forever. Looking back on it, I don't like it much... especially the colors. Bleh. But I put so much work into it so I thought I'd upload it anyways. \(^_^)/

Oooh, an Arien pic! She's been one of my favorite Tolkien characters since I was about ten, and I loved this portrayal of her. Her expression is absolutely wonderful.

Dunno why you don't like this pic much.. Is it the flowers?
Her hair looks real... The bottom of her dress also has their own life and the leaves crawling on the wall... I like those...
