#flammifer

(omg i am so bad at posting my art in a timely fashion) Anyway, I was very happy to create the cover for last autumn's Flammifer (the magazine of the German Tolkien society. It is a sister piece to my Eärendil art that I made for the cover of Amon Hen, which showed Eärendil's voyage and sacrifices and how people on Arda call out to him from his view. In this image we see him from the perspective of everyone that looks for him in the night sky, as a eucatastrophe returning for a last time.

Summoning - Flammifer

Beneath the moon and under star He wandered far from northern strands, Bewildered on enchanted ways Beyond the days of mortal lands. Through evernight he back was borne On black and roaring waves that ran O'er leagues unlit and foundered shores That drowned before the days began. His sword of steel was valiant, Of adamant his helmet tall, An eagle-plume upon his crest, Upon his breast an emerald.

 Beneath the moon and under star  he wandered far from northern strands,  bewildered on enchanted ways  beyond the days of mortal lands.
