Luthien Before the Throneby ~neffinesse

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Books & Novels

She let her flying raiment sweep,
enmeshed with woven spells of sleep,
as round the dark void she ranged and reeled.
From wall to wall she turned and wheeled
in dance such as never Elf nor fay
before devised, nor since that day;
than swallow swifter, than flittermouse
in dying light round darkened house
more silken-soft, more strange and fair
than sylphine maidens of the Air
whose wings in Varda's heavenly hall
in rhythmic movement beat and fall.
--The Lay of Leithian, J.R.R. Tolkien

As both a Tolkein nerd and dancer, this is perfect. Also, did you reference and pictures of Russian/Vagonova trained dancers? She has Vagonova hands!

I like everything about this picture, its all thematically accurate in that the only light that can be seen in Angband is either coming from Luthien who is good or the Silmarils which are also good but which are placed upon Morgoth's head who is in himself darkness, both physical and physical...

A wonderful concept to be sure
