SciFi and Fantasy Art Turambar finds Nienor on Haudh-en-Elleth by Peter Xavier Price

'But it was a great storm of thunder that came up from the south, and in terror she cast herself down upon the mound of Haudh-en-Elleth, stopping her ears from the thunder; but the rain smote her and drenched her, and she lay like a wild beast that is dying. There Turambar found her, as he came to the Crossings of Taiglin, having heard rumour of Orcs that roamed near; and seeing in a flare of lightening the body as it seemed of a slain maiden lying upon the mound of Finduilas he was stricken to the heart.'

JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion: Chaper 21: Of Túrin Turambar

11 Feb 2006	Benedict Tom Isaac	Loading... Oh! and Nienor shouldn't be lying so relaxed, and she should be thinner. She lived in the forest for a long time you know, and she was afraid of the storm, and this position is not showing that. As far as I know Ted Nasmith's illustration is closer to what i mean. (sorry, this wasn't quite clear, was it).It's all down to interpretation I guess. She wasn't in the forest for that long by all accounts, it's not like she lived in the wilderness for weeks upon weeks. As for her lying 'relaxed', I challenge you to lay down any other way after having blacked out .
11 Feb 2006	Benedict Tom Isaac	Loading... Should we tell that guy with that stupid name, who commented befor me, that about 10 percent of elfwood artists are also at Deviantart. As you wish...
11 Aug 2006	Rebecca Jade Rundmann	Loading... Awesome pic. Just a thought, shouldn't Nienor be a bit more dirty (as in she's just run through the forest with no clothes on and it's raining) and her face should look more troubled. Anyway just a thought. I wish I was half as talented as you.
10 Sep 2006	Caitlynn C. Didlick (Varda)	Loading... Wow, great job, it is by far one of the best that i have seen! I love how you make it look so real with the earthy colors, instead of like a bright green. You are a very talented artist! Too bad i can't sign on to my account, so that you can just click my link! But yes it is very good, wish i could draw like that!!!
15 Jul 2008	Lauren Julia Bryant	Loading... This picture really shows how your already incrediable talent has improved. For one thing, I love the color and depth you have used to capture your characters, and I’m deeply impressed you’ve brought such emotion into this scence. This 100% quality work, and you should be really proud of it.
1 Mar 2009	Valerie Anne Horst	Loading... that was a really messed up story. i was shaking my head in un-comprehesion and disbelief the entire time. nice artwork.
3 Mar 2009	Haraer	Loading... Turin’s hair should also be back. It was a distinctive character he got from his mother- he stuck out like a sore tumb among the other Edain.
12 Jun 2009	Natalie Adams	Loading... awesome - i would offer some constructive criticism but thi sis way btter than i could do. i think that even tho realistically speaking she would be marked/cut/scratched from her madness induced flight through the forest, i think that artistically and symbolically, it is better to have her pale and flawless, luminous against the darkness of the world around her - it makes her stnad out in the viewer’s mind, and provides some good contrast. That’s all, folks!
