Princess of Gondolin

Also, daughter, wife, and mother

This is the lovely Idril Celebrindal, and isn’t she beautiful? She’s the Princess of Gondolin, the daughter of Turgon King of Gondolin. I started theming my army after Gondolin, seeing how Tolkien detailed it so carefully in the Book of Lost Tales Part II (which has a super-cool telling of the tragic battle, too!). Her model is an old-type Bretonnian sorceress on foot, and I picked her specifically to play the character she does. Shiny sword, again, so shiny her hair reflects in it, and I’m really happy with the way the dress turned out, and that’s the most successful face I’ve painted ever. It’s the first time I’d done a layered face with such results. Bit too much blush, but just the right amount of pink in the lips. From the closeup, the hair looks blotchy. -_-7 I’m NOT redoing her. I have a new model to represent her, not painted yet.
