Another four sketches for the B2MeM! :D As you can see I'm not completely caught up, but I only had today to draw in, so I'm pleased that I made four.

March is Back 2 Middle-earth Month and the silwritersguild is providing anyone willing with a prompt a day to inspire the Tolkien muses out of the woodwork. :D I have decided to use it as an opportunity to do a study of Mablung of Doriath, about whom "canon" has preciously little to say, so my imagination can run free for most of the time.

Here is the Feanor and Fingolfin drawing again: much improved (thanks to the wonderful critique from people at Drawspace.com)! Plus: Fingolfin gets to actually be a part of the situation instead of being all embarrassed and hiding his face!
