Beren's Oath

Description

This is based on two other art I did of Beren, but for a different atmosphere. And I felt like adding things that I think are important to his character: the Ring of Barahir (on his right hand) and his sword. I envisioned this as him kneeling and swearing an oath to his father that he will avenge him and his comrades. I thought of drawing the grave-sites too, but then I realised that again, the illustration is innacurate "^^ His father was burried beneath some stones beside a precipice from what I remember. Oops.
But even with that in mind, I think it still works. At least now I made a drawing that LOOKS like a night scene. The original pencil crayon art was done on a grey-toned paper so that I could accurately draw white or light-coloured lines (like the ones around his hair) Unfortunately (because my pencil crayons are not great) the background was not dark enough to look like night-time. It looked more like dawn, I think. So I used PS to select the background and darken it. ^_^ Made such a dang difference! Not only was the contrast much better, but it looks as if there's glow around Beren. Pretty cool, huh? ^_^
This is used for the layout of "I' Ranohtar," ([link]) my Beren Fanlisting; the funny part is that people don't look at the credit on who made it, therefore people have this automatic assumption that somebody else drew it, well nope, guess again! ^_^ The greatest compliment I got from this was from this one nice person that thought it was made by John Howe. ^____^ Sweeeeet!
