Nostalgia....So, it's been a few days since I had the LotR marathon and here I am uploading a fanart XD To be honest, I started painting this picture last year but then gave up since I had no idea for it - until now (I changed almost everything though, and it had more characters too xD ORZ )
Arwen Undomiel is one of my most beloved elves. I think she reflects the core of this concept and I love absolutely everything about her :heart: I wanted this picture to look a bit more like a legitimate painting, with a bit heavier painting technique and simple background. I wanted it to be a bit more blue at first but then I thought 'Not this time!' and I went with a different palette. It is supposed to represent the evening, since Arwen is called the Evenstar, but instead of making it blue, I chose to paint a more colorful evening, when the sun is setting and all those colors of autumn are around ; u ; :heart: Also, Rivendell also makes me think of autumn :) Ok, that's all XD *runs back to watching LotR appendices*
oh, and I wanted to give her the necklace ffs but then I forgot and I thought it didn´t match anymore ORZ well, at this point, Aragorn has it XDD

EDIT: Had no time to paint anything Hobbit/LotR related to honor the end of the great adventure (but I will, be sure ; o ; / also, whyy ;  o ; I wanna more movies...) so have this Arwen with song lyrics <3

I saw the light fade from the sky 
On the wind I heard a sigh 
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers 
I will say this last goodbye 

Night is now falling 
So ends this day 
The road is now calling 
And I must away 
Over hill and under tree 
Through lands where never light has shone 
By silver streams that run down to the sea 

Under cloud, beneath the stars 
Over snow one winter’s morn 
I turn at last to paths that lead home 
And though where the road then takes me 
I cannot tell 
We came all this way 
But now comes the day 
To bid you farewell 
Many places I have been 
Many sorrows I have seen 
But I don’t regret 
Nor will I forget 
All who took the road with me 

To these memories I will hold 
With your blessing I will go 
To turn at last to paths that lead home 
And though where the road then takes me 
I cannot tell 
We came all this way 
But now comes the day 
To bid you farewell
