It's becoming a bit of a tradition to post my newest and older Tolkien works together, so here's the added "old" Fëanor - I still like it, but technically (and compositionally)-wise, I think the new one is much better! <:
What do you think? <:
Today's speed paint is a frankly indecent Feanor: no jewels, no braids, just flowy hair in the wind… I'm almost ashamed of myself! Maybe I should tag it NSFW? XD
I hope you don't mind too much <;

Skills and personal style evolve - sometimes I'm still charmed by my old works, but other times I can definitely notice improvements. I actually have both reactions while watching this (terrible) video about the #Feanorions from 10 or so years ago, and the ones I painted in the past few weeks.
I don't know how to explain, but the new versions feel more... "real" to me (especially #Ambarussa , for some reason)
Anyway, this is a reminder to myself that I can get better - and I thought it would be fun to show the "before" and "now " <;
Curvo has been one of the first "new" concept portraits I painted during this #Silmarillion revival - I wasn't super happy with the result, so have what I think is an improved version <:
I hope you like it 💙

"...Only street lights
Notice me
I am desperate
If nothing else
In a holding pattern
To find myself
I talk in circles
I talk in circles
I watch for signals
For a clue
How to feel different
How to feel new
Like science fiction
Bending truth
No one can unring this bell
Unsound this alarm, unbreak my heart new
God knows, I am dissonance
Waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune..." -Sleeping At Last, "Mercury"
