Description

In the last Alliance of Elves and Men the High-King Gil-galad was eventually slain when Sauron himself came out from Barad-Dur and did heat up the last king of Noldor into flames... Because my previous pic was very hard to do and very exhausting and I really tried my best with it(little sad because people havent really checked that for some reason) I decided to do some sort of quick work. And this idea had been in my mind for some time... The sky is a real sky material. Thanks for looking and as always comments are much appreciated!

Awesome image! It not only shows Gil-Galad but the lonely death of each nameless warrior. Be he elf or man. Expressive image!

Nice work Riquelme8. There is always something about scenes of the aftermath of battle that intriques me. Was planning on doing one myself in the near future.

I agree with all of the above. In a related subject; The Norse Raiders were present at the same time as Medieval Knights. The scene is set in early morning with a red sky- rough weather brewing- at a location near their base in Norway. I have witnessed-without the long ships-a similar scene in real life and got this as close as possible to that. Thanks for your comments. I'm still just a beginner so it helps, as you know. Be well; Zaffen

Just he way I pictured it! Only yours is much better. No stick figures. The colours are intense, the mood is perfect! Thanks for your dedication to this series. BJ
