This is my vision of Arwen from LOTR. No..it's not from the movie..only my own head. This was drawn and colored in Photoshop.
Updated: February 2004. I touched up her hair and facial features, as well as touching up the clothing she wears.
Updated once again, to add some different lighting.

Updated...again. I suppose I'm never satisfied with anything I do and I keep going back and tweaking things

She's very pretty! a great arwen for sure...something about her makes her look young though..

Looks a little like Minnie Driver, and all in all very pretty, good job 2

3 Miriah Bruce replies: "I think the jaw isn't strong enough to be like Minnie, but thank you very much "

*does first comment dance* Yay it doesn't look like Liv Tyler!! Luv this picture. It's so beautiful.

3 Miriah Bruce replies: "Too many people draw or paint Arwen like Liv Tyler. I had the advantage of reading the books before I saw the movie 2"

She is lovely. Such bright blue eyes and kissable lips. Very beautiful!
But may I suggest a little work on the nostril and the wrinkles under her eyes? But that's just minor.
Overall she is beautiful, she has a definite Elvish Aura, so soft and ethereal.

:-) Miriah Bruce replies: "The nostril definately needs work, and I never noticed how much the wrinkle under her eye stood out until now. I'm also planning on redoing the hair and lips, as I'm not completely happy with them."

She kind of looks like Pocahontas to me.

:-) Miriah Bruce replies: "It's probably the high cheekbones 2"

As I did read the books long (very long indeed) before they made a movie of them, I also had a pic of Arwen in my head. Liv didn't live up to that, neither does your drawing, but you come closer. I do imagine her a little more older in her looks, but that's all.

As I haven't seen the original, but I can draw a conclusion from the comments, I guess the last version is the best! Just love the color scheme.
