But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Then she said farewell to Eldarion, and to her daughters, and to all whom she had loved; and she went out from the city of Minas Tirith and passed away to the land of Lórien, and dwelt there alone under the fading trees until winter came. Galadriel had passed away and Celeborn also was gone, and the land was silent.

There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by men that come after, and elanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the Sea.


From The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen.


I did something like this as a commission yesterday, and it made me look back at this one and realize how pitiful it was. So I completely remade it, and the improvement is astonishing.

Holy God, that is absolutely *stunning.* Really magnificently beautiful. I'm not going to try to praise anything specific about it, since I can't tell which parts are photoshopped and which aren't -- but that in itself says just how well you've succeeded here. The whole composition is so balanced and *real,* and the colors, autumn sunset -- wonderful. I had no idea what to expect when I clicked the link from your LJ post, but I'm very glad I did!

It's truly really a piece of joy, even though it is one.

The colors and everything blended so well.
