Calacirca and a bowman…

Last picture for Middle Earth for a while! First picture of the new year! Huzzah!

Huzzah has a lot of meanings for me, but more on that later.

This picture is of Legolas, stepping out onto the bank of Anduin to shoot the mysterious and sinister black shape in the air. The Big Dipper, or Calacirca, is over his head. Frodo sees “the dark head of the elf crowned with stars”… It was so beautiful I tried to do a picture of it, and it worked pretty well, but I never finished it. I may do a CG Photoshop version sometime. That would look really nice. Or maybe I’ll use my new markers!
