Luthien Tinuviel 'Colored'

Lúthien Tinúviel
Colored May 30th - June 2nd, 2008
Used ArtRage

Okay, so this is my first digital art ever! Whoooohooo! And I must say I rather like colring digitally. It's a lot of fun. Anyway, this came out much darker than I had on the Tablet I was using at school, maybe the lighting settings were just up high on those or something. So, this was a bit strange, but I was happy I finall was able to put it up on dA. dA is blocked at my school so I had to e-mail myself the picture, get it off and put it up on ArtRage (which took forever to load and save) then actually get around to painting it during class time and then sending it back to myself. Oh, and I made sure I finished all my work that we were doing using the Tablets so it was okay that I was having fun with ArtRage because I had already completed my work.

This is my original, uncolored version and the version I colored: [link]

And if want more information on Luthien, read "The Silmarillion" or you can just look at this: [link]

OF LÚTHIEN THE BELOVED

Such lissom limbs no more shall run
on the green earth beneath the sun;
so fair a maid no more shall be
from dawn to dusk, from sun to sea.
Her robe was blue as summer skies,
but grey as evening was her eyes;
her mantle sewn with lilies fair,
but dark as shadow was her hair.
Her feet were swift as bird on wing,
her laughter merry as the spring;
the slender willow, the bowing reed,
the fragrance of a flowering mead,
the light upon the leaves of trees,
the voice of water, more than these
her beauty was and blissfulness,
her glory and her loveliness.
