My tribute portrait of Celebrimbor from 'The Rings of Power'.
The portrait was an art challenge between my twin sister and me. Every once in a while, we challenge each other to paint our favorite characters from a series or movie.
A beautiful quote from a viewer:
"To me, it looks like a sketch that could very well be in place in Middle-earth - maybe made by Elrond in memory of his friend, for example.“ - @greenleaf4stuff | Tumblr

For this portrait of Celebrimbor, I wanted to show a bit of who he is — a brilliant, proud craftsman with a real love for creating beautiful things. I kept the background abstract, using greens and browns to tie into the natural feel of his green robe. I also added a few splashes of gold with gold acrylic paint to pick up on the gold details of the holly leaves on his collar. The gold felt right for Celebrimbor — it hints at his ambition and the big dreams he carries, but also the bit of sadness behind it all. I wanted the colors and textures to complement his thoughtful, noble personality without taking too much attention away from him.
