I had to wait until there will be a good translate of Children of Hurin by JRR Tolkien. I was glad because there were some moments described in large details - right how it is needed for drawnig. I really liked the description of moment before the Niarned Arnoediad started. And proud Maedhros as the High Elf commander on a white horse. ........... I wanted Maedhros holding standard, so next he had to have a herald to hold it because in the time of the battle he had just his left hand. Not enough to hol both standard and sword. Chosen heraldry, the eight-point star, is the sign of house of Feanor. ........... Done in 1B pencil, some rubbers, horse photos as reference and some photoshop to add the background and color.

Only one moment - since Maedhros is left-handed by this time he should wear his sword on the _right_ side otherwise it's very difficult to unsheathe it ))
