Tag As FavoriteComment		Feb '03 gouache/watercolor

A sort of gender-reversal of the love story of Arwen and Aragorn.

The elven warlord knew when he gave his heart to this fierce and noble human woman that one day he would have to go on without her. When the battle began he could not allow himself to think that she might die. Now, she lies dead and her helm's crest, with it's arrow-pierced heart, echoes the pain he feels.

*sigh* silly people. She didn't get cut in half- the drawing was cut off at her waist, and a very good place to do so, it makes it look finished (rather than having it fade away).
The only thing i would change might be her helmet- it looks a bit impracical/heavy/awkward for battle. good work, tho.
