Feanor is one of the key characters of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Silmarillion”. His image is varied and excites discrepant feelings. His deeds had an influence on the history of all future Middle Earth. His strong and insolent spirit made him in some way similar to a human. He could burn fire in hearts and gave a way to his own passions.
Feanor is a Noldor King, the creator of Silmarills.

I depicted him not in the king’s attire and not in the smart cloths – here he is a skilled warrior who threw down a challenge even to Valars, he is in a simple marching cloths only the crown shows us his high status – that’s how I see him.

His sons:

Fingon

This character is used to be so unfairly tired out in a framework of villain and madman, thereby it simplifies and distorts all that Tolkien wanted to put into this character. I’m crazily happy that this picture shows Feanor in a way that he instantly causes sympathy, despite the discrepancy of his character. He is not like classical pretty elf; he is much more similar to a human of 40 years. He’s got a strong, imperious, sexual, rigid and outstanding personality. He’s got burning eyes. He is all the embodiment of fire, and at the same time his internal madness is not too much that’s why he really attracts. I like that he isn't handsome in it’s classical meaning, his handsomeness is special - it is a combination of courage, cruelty, probably, even roughness, and at the same time, it is impossible to doubt that you see the real man, the skilled warrior and the king who is loved, followed and adored. It seems to me that the excellence of the artist is that she rendered his burning irrepressible soul ideally. And this character again becomes interesting, deep, passionate and vivid. Not good and not bad. Just a man you admire despite of everything.

Персонаж, которого несправедливо загнали в рамки злодея и сумасшедшего, тем самым упростив и исказив то, что в него хотел вложить Толкиен. Мне безумно радостно, что этот рисунок показывает Феанора так, что он мгновенно вызывает симпатию, несмотря на противоречивость характера. Он не похож на классического хорошенького эльфа, гораздо больше он похож на человека и мужчину, которому уже есть лет 40. Это сильная, властная, сексуальная, жесткая и яркая личность. У него горящие глаза. Он весь воплощение огня, и в то же время в его внутреннем безумии нет перебора, поэтому он действительно симпатичен. Мне нравится, что он не красавец в классическом понимании, его красота особая – это сочетание мужественного, жестокого, наверное, даже в чем-то грубоватого, и в то же время, нельзя усомниться, что перед тобой настоящий мужчина, опытный воин и король, которого любят, за которым идут и которого обожают. Мне кажется, что большая заслуга художника именно в том, что ей удалось идеально передать огненную неудержимую душу Феанора. И персонаж снова стал интересным, глубоким, страстным и живым. Не хорошим и не плохим. Просто мужчиной, которым невозможно не восхищаться несмотря ни на что.

I like him a lot! He's got.... GRIT, for lack of a better term. There's gravitas, weight and authority to him. Very nice.

My favourite elf, because he is most human-like of them. Perfection is just boring.

i really like your style, but i didn't imagined Feanor with black hair, i have always thought he has brown-red hair. and with an expression more proud. anyway, he's certainly handsome! :D

You did such a wonderful job that I thought "wait, is that Feanor?" before I read the title. This is definitely one of the very best portrayals I've ever seen of him!
