Tag As FavoriteComment		This turned into a bit of a nightmare, very much a love/hate relationship with not a lot of love towards the end as took sooooooooooooo long to finish it. Tolkien's original dragon casts his curse on the hapless Turin while his lover is carried off by orcs to a rather gruesome fate. From the Silmarillion.

I am totally impressed with the detail. The destruction by Glaurung, of all the was good and could still be saved is felt as you see here how he manipulated Turin. This takes the place of any previous mental depictions that I may have attempted whilst reading The Children of Hurin or The Silmarillion for the umteenth time. Glad to hear I am not the only one who has watched the LOTR movies repeatedly. I would love to see this pic in "the flesh". A lot of talent here.
