"Finduilas and Faramir" by Hope Hoover

Weel I think is actually says somewhere in the appendices that she (finduilas II) perished out of pure grief, I think it was something about longing for the sea and always being afraid of the shadow of Mordor or something of that sort.
But it's a really nice picture, me likes!!

Best.picture.ever. i would love to see more findulias in your gallery. the emotions in this pic are amazingly portrayed. Loooove it

I love this picture, but I disagree entirely with your assessment of Denethor. There is nothing in canon to suggest that he had anything to do with the death of his wife - it expressly states in the Unfinished Tales how much Denethor loved his wife.

Though I totally disagree with your assessment of Denethor, this drawing is beyond belief beautiful.

This is a Finduilas who I can relate to. As another said, the tilt of her head, the hands holding Faramir touch my heart. Incredibly beautiful drawing.

But I love Denethor and his entire family.

Agape

Once again, simply wonderful. Though personally, I always thought that Finduilas died from child birth.

*sniffs*... she looks like she's looking up to heaven and knows she's going to die... Gorgeous, I love the tilt of her head and the way Faramir is sitting on here lap... wonderful

Aww... Little Faramir... This is sooooo cute! ^^

Poor Finduilas, and also, poor Denethor, Boromir, and Faramir, for having to lose her. I love how you’ve portrayed Finduilas and her younger son. There’s such a feeling of love and comfort here, yet there’s also this underlining sadness that speakes of Finduilas soon-to be death.

I love how how you’ve portrayed Finduilas having this gentle, yet queenly air to her; I think it really fits her character. I can also really see her son Faramir in her, which works, since I think he shared alot of her personality in some ways. And I also think it’s interesting how you have her looking up, like she’s knows she’s going to leave her son soon, but she’s trying to protect him from the truth. And as for Denethor being controlled to kill her, I don’t see that happening. From what we know Finduilas died at a young age, considering her Numorean/Elvish hertitage, of sea-longing and constantly being assulted with the Shadow of Mordor. It’s said that her death nearly broke Denethor, who deeply loved her, and after it, he became withdrawn and cold.

So beautiful and soooo sad ...whoa !
