:oIt did not upload. Maybe I will try another time.

Check the size. 800 pixels is the most size it will take in any dimension. Looking forward to seeing it

Lots of drama and interesting shapes.

Be sure and post any updates on this here as you work on it.
I curious as to what you will do with it.

That looks good but I do like the first version as well. There’s a good sense of movement and it has a primitive art feel to it.

On the photo-shopped one, I think you could crop the top off a bit more, I would crop it under where the big branch on the left attaches. Compostionally, there’s too much at the top, it takes away from the bright figure and makes the dark area in front seem too dark. With it cropped it brings the focus to the figure and the dark area works as a dramatic contrast.

I like the drama of the second one. It’s lost some of the movement of the first but it makes up for it with the sharp contrasts.

You have like a two for one artwork there! Good stuff.

Thanks for looking!Vmrs I am glad you like the first one too. It is quite different from the first! I cropped the top of the picture.
Attalus, I will experiment with the second picture. I want to keep Beren in shadow, but not lose him in the background. I tried a few highlights so he shows up more.
The Silmarillion has so many outstanding parts, but that one when Elwing comes back is one of the best.

Okay, I like that better. Gotta love reflected light, right?

Looks good!
