SciFi and Fantasy Art The Mirror of Galadriel by Billy Mosig

Galadriel is one of my favourite characters. And the chapter about the mirror is possibly one of my favourite ones from the Fellowship of the Ring. It has a very magical feeling to it. And Galadriel herself has so much background. She's the oldest noble elf in Middle-earth. I wanted her to have a powerful and misterious feeling, that is why I imagined her with an aura of light. I wanted that source of light to be the focal point of the painting. And as once again, being an elf, I painted her with a classical elegance and greek clothing. I got myinspiration froma neoclassical scultpure. Sam's face is also based on a neoclassical bust. It's made in watercolours.

20 Mar 2006	The Nameless Namer	Loading... I love this version of Galadriel. She looks so elegant and ethereal. Everytime I find pictures of her on Elfwood, she seems to be missing that spark, that glow...and you captured it perfectly. You are very talented; keep it up.
15 May 2006	Menelanna	Loading... WOW! Love it. The colors are lovely. I wish I could do colors! I love pretty much everything about this piece. The only thing that gets me is that Galadriel looks a bit mad. And anger is something that I did not imagine on Galadriel, not at that point in her story anyways.
5 Jun 2006	Oda	Loading... OMG! That drawing is breathtaking! It reminds me a bit about the way the old artists paint Jesus and historical people.. I like it! =) very good indeed. Billy Mosig replies: "Hahahaha I never thought my painting would resemble historical ot religous art. But I imagine that is a good thing, so I gladly accept your comment! Thank you very much!"
29 Jun 2006	Anastasiya Tarasenko	Loading... Beautiful! It reminds me very much of the work of Alan Lee. Billy Mosig replies: "WOW, I suppose that is the best compliment anyone could give me! Thank you!!"
