Beren and Luthienby ~VictorElessar

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Fantasy

"It is told in the Lay of Leithian that Beren came stumbling into Doriath grey and bowed as with many years of
woe, so great had been the torment of the road. But wandering in the summer in the woods of Neldoreth he came upon
Lúthien, daughter of Thingol and Melian, at a time of evening under moonrise, as she danced upon the unfading grass
in the glades beside Esgalduin. Then all memory of his pain departed from him, and he fell into an enchantment; for
Lúthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar. Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her
eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of
twilight. As the light upon the leaves of trees, as the voice of clear waters, as the stars above the mists of the world,
such was her glory and her loveliness; and in her face was a shining light."

I first wanted to paint this scene, for i had it in my mind for too long. i was searching for references, and it reminded of these photomanipulations i seen from some ppl, and so i started making my own, cuz its actually really fun to do this

its only my first one though, so probably not very good.

The only complaint I have is that its rather grainy. A soft focus (slight edge blur) would have given it a dreamlike quality, rather than looking like a movie.

Minus that small adjustment, the composition looks fantastic, and the lighting is also fairly accurate.
