Vainshimmery

…Actually Feanor and his Silmarils. The title comes from the fact that the Old English poem "Vainglory" suddenly came to my mind for some reason and I thought that might fit, even though it has nothing to do with the Silmarillion.

Anyway – I wanted to paint Feanor and his shiney crystal creations for years and I still don’t feel like having done them justice (and that’s not because this picture is wee and tiny), but at least it’s a start. It was fun to colour, though.

Watercolours with bits of white acrylics, as usual.

(anatomy, what’s anatomy?)
