Varda creates new stars #Silmarillion #tolkien #fantasyart

The painting depicts a wide landscape that is dominated by a dark blue starry sky. Down on the left side is Valinor, the major source of colorful light in the painting, surrounded by high mountains. The sharp peak of Taniquetil stands much taller than the others. Valinor's light paints the surrounding sky in lighter cyans and blues, like a setting sun. In the middle is a still ocean with some mist hanging above it. And on the right is the dark coast of Middle earth with only stars lighting it.

Above the landscape, in the sky is Varda, who is drawn with stylized light purple lines. She is creating new stars, and a new bright one is born right at the tip of her extended finger. She has a crown and jewellery made of stars. Her long cape reaches the ground. Her eye is a stark bright star and she has long wavy hair.

If the lines look a bit stiff when compared to my other digital paintings, it's just because I painted this one entirely using a mouse. It was more fun than I thought it would be, but it did take some more patience and conscious precision when compared to drawing with a tablet and pen.
