LotR/S: Fates

Description

From left to right, Maglor/Macalaure/Kano, Feanor/Feanaro, and Maedhros/Maitimo/Nelyo etc etc etc my god they have a billion names.

I was familiar with the characters before but I started reading the Silmarillon last week and it's a lot easier to read than the Book of Lost Tales...and Feanor is definitely my favorite character :) I love how he's interconnected with practically everything... the palantiri, tengwar, the silmarils, etc, and without him Celebrimbor wouldn't exist... Maedhros is awesome too, and I just really like Maglor since he could totally still be alive through the fourth age and there is SO much potential there...

This is post-Thangorodrim Maedhros - the cloak covers the missing hand :)

I just used a typical diamond-cut for my representation of a Silmaril...I don't know what they're supposed to look like but I have a feeling they're supposed to be blue...? Anyone want to confirm/deny this?

Feanor I usually picture in more sober colors, but his name does mean 'spirit of fire', so I did orange/yellow/red. Maglor I ALWAYS picture in blue, and Maedhros, well...green looks good on redheads XD He's my favorite lineart btw, and Feanor is my favorite shading. I don't really like how Maglor turned out :( but whatever.

Oh, somebody help me! - is it pronounced 'sill-mar-ill-ahn' or 'sill-mah-rillian'?

Awww, cute ^_^ For some reason I never had much trouble pronouncing the word 'silmarillion' (which I think other people have answered). And when I first glanced at the picture, I thought Maedhros was Nerdanel *fail* But yes. Feanor is definitely the most awesome! xD
