Well, it's since a while I submitted something here. I'm very busy these days, and my drawings are suffering because that. But I finally finished the lineart of Manwë (expect for the eagles). I hope soon it will be colored and with proper background. It was specially dificult to do a face that I liked and to creat the scepter.

Sunset background by :iconbreezestock:

Edit: 07.04.2007

I did a color and light study. I hope it is just right and I can, when I have some time, finish it.

Edit: 22.04.2007

New color. Now just some minor changes and I'll be ready go to the background.

Edit: 14.09.2008

Added some details in the cloth, the background and the eagles. Almost done now and very close to what I imagined.

This artwork is my second favourite of your trully impresive gallery! It is trully special, you achieved to represent the majestic and godly nature of Manwë, first of Valar. The gold embroidery is delicate and as beautiful as intrincate. The golden manbraces are a piece of art of their own, as the staff. Overall it is trully like an elven Zeus, full of majesty, power and wisdom, the face, the manners, the eagle, all is impressivly well painted, it is atonishing! It diserves, surely, public recognition!

Regards and thanks for sharing artworks like this one (And Hurin's, which is my fav one!)

no words to describe.... i'm in awe (when reading the silmarillion I have images in my head, which are - so i thought - impossible to be drawn on a visible medium - you proved me wrong)

I thought the Wizards were of the same race, but not class?

difference from 'ainur', 'valar' and 'maiar' is fairly significant...

Gandalf can step on Balrogs all day long, but the Powers are above even him...still, it would be easy to make this look Godlike by simply using perspective to add little tiny things near his feat. like mountain ranges. or forests. not mountains or trees. ranges, or forests. lol that would make him look Godlike rightaway.
