Thought I'd take another stab at drawing Maedhros. My favorite of the brothers.
After having his right hand cut off in his rescue from Thangorodrim he "..recovered from his torment and became hale, but the shadow of his pain was in his heart; and he lived to wield his sword with left hand more deadly than the right had been." (Silmarillion - Return of the Noldor)

Now, learning how sword fight with your left hand, that's one thing. But I always wondered how he ever managed to lace up his boots!

Last time I drew Maedhros back in March last year ([link]) I had his hair ragged and short. I presumed that it would have been non-concentually cut during his torture at Angband. The fact that hair grows an awful lot in 50 years was apparently lost of me... D'uh!

EDIT: :D Some of you pointed out that he wouldn't be able to shoot with a bow. lol! Good point!
But if you look closely you'll see that I gave him some straps so he would be able to tie his handless arm to the bow. ...:giggle: Something else for him to tie!!

Staring out over the vast array of bodies, all of whom have died at your hand. Sharp blade coated with crimson in your hand. Though you may not have wanted to kill them, it was your only defense.

Don't follow my footsteps.....I run into walls. :D

wow, excellent pose. It has the awkward stamped all over it! He's going to put that sword in his food if he isn't careful. Also, excellent colouring job

I like that! It's so uncommon to see an elf struggling that way, poor thing. I just LOVE how you do clothing folds, wrinkles, and highlights! The designs you do on elvish clothing an accessories is outstanding.

May I point out a mistake though? His other had was missing in the older drawing. ^^;

Wow... I love the detailing you used... with the armor... and the bow, and his little tiara... hehehe... I know Tolkien always said their brows are bound with gems... it's a nice way of saying all the guys wear tiaras... but they still manage to pull them off! ha! anyways... very clever picture... good point, I never thought of that... hehehe... and I love the colouring...
