Quote: The Lore of the Eldar:
The Silmarillion By hand.
After around four years of work I can already leaf through it and the story can be seen in the drawings. It is not finished, of course, but it has 82 pages and I feel like 20 or 25 more could complete everything #Silmarillion. I have used different styles of drawing and painting to create the illusion that many different elven minds and hands worked for ages on these pages, and I have deliberately put a few references to the art of other artists intimately related to the Professor's work. Tolkien as well as old RPG and card games from before the PJ era.
Incidentally, I have respected the appearance of places and faces of the film saga in order to condense everything into the same "canonical" vision, to use a word, although it is limited to LoTR and the Third Age. The idea is to present a series of illustrations representing various manuscripts and books, portraits and paintings of the Elven Tradition, written in different Tengwar modes, the vast majority in my mother tongue, Spanish, and in English and in Quenya and Sindarin. All the texts have been transcribed from the Silmarillion, and from the poems and songs of LoTR.
Much of the landscapes that illustrate Beleriand were inspired by the beautiful lands of Patagonia and southern Chile, its forests, mountains, lakes, islands and glaciers.
