I just finished this portait (or potraits) after 6 months of hard work. These are Isildur (right) and Anárion (left), the númenorean princes that would later become great kings and lords in Middle-earth. Because númenoreans were great mariners, they are both depicted sailing in an arctic sea (perhaps the Icebay of Forochel). Next to Isiuldir is a vignete of his city: Minas Ithil, tower of the rising moon, and next to Anárion is a vignete of his city: Minas Anor, tower of the setting sun. It was hard to work with pencil potraits and watercolor backgrounds in the same painting. Obviosly I had to do first all the background, carefully leaving blank the place where I would later draw the portraits (easier said than done haha).

Wow!!!! I would be surprised if this doesn't have a mod's award by tomorrow. It sure deserves it.

Great work. Beautiful. I especially love the cities.
