"There came a time near dawn on the eve of spring, and Lúthien danced upon a green hill; and suddenly she began to sing. Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed."

from Of Beren and Lúthien, the Silmarillion, by J.R.R. Tolkien

This is stunning, and not only that, it's also very large! How many pencils did you wear out?

You draw amazing fabric, and the movement is sublime Alisa.

I love your Lúthien, the story of Beren and Lúthien has always been a favourite of mine and this kind of looks how I imagined her to be!
This must have taken some time and effort, it’s so detailed, especially love the dress2

:-) Alisa Simonoff replies: "That’s a great idea about a statue. I’ve never worked in marble but I havein bronze, so maybe one day I’ll see about working up a wax model and have it casted. Thanks!"
