~ Galadriel and Aredhel – Summer in Valinor ~
… When hope was high, and life worth living.
Yes that’s from Les Miserables, I’m sorry, but strangely how that lyric actually kinda fit the idea of this image..
The text in Tengwar says the same as the title, only in quenya: “Lairë mi Valinor”. The reason for this is because of the idea I have that Galadriel must feel a lot of pain thinking about her old life in Valinor, and perhaps mostly her lost brothers and cousins. I read somewhere a while ago that Galadriel and Aredhel was born the same year, and it gave me the idea that they must’ve been close when they lived in Valinor, being the only girls of the Noldors Im sure they kept together against their brothers and cousins drama. I love both their characters so much, and Im sad that I didnt draw them exactly as I wouldve wanted, but I finished it anyways. Been a while since I’ve made something decent, and this idea has been stuck in my head for months so I had to get it out.
The flowers they are holding represent them somewhat. Aredhel is holding a Lily which is the flower of death, representing her brutal future and death, and Galadriel holds a Hyacinth, which represents her regret of everything had happened to her and her family.
So I am very happy with this, despite all the anatomical errors and my unsatisfaction with their faces. And grass sucks to draw, seriously! I hope you enjoy it, and agree with my ideas, or not, anyways tell me, I love a nice Silm discussion! ^^

Maeglin and Aredhel leaving Nan-Elmoth
oh eru, it’s time for that chapter.
The chapter “Of Maeglin” always makes me cringe so to make it easier for myself, I like to pretend that this is the enchantment that Eol used on Aredhel.
