Really beautiful piece! Great atmosphere and control of the focal point. You can feel the thickness in the air! You are also doing a great job using value to enhance the narrative of the story (dark vs light). I have one constructive comment if you'll indulge me. I think that you may want to try cropping the piece in a bit on the right (focusing on the left side of the image). The power in this composition is in its vertical contrast between the figures and by making it a non square image you'll just push that home. Congratz on your Daily Deviation! :hug:

This is a powerful, awesome portrayal of the duel between the Great Enemy and the brave king of the noldor in exile! This painting is easily one of the best ones that i've ever seen of the events of the Quenta silmarillion. Please for the love of all that is epic, PAINT MORE LOTR stuff pretty please!!

This work is incredible. This image alone could get me to try and tackle the Simarillion one more time. It was a little beyond me as a young teenager.
