Arien in the Days Before the Sun
Prismacolor Colored Pencil on Stonehenge Paper, 2003?

This is an older piece of mine, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion. I kind of feel like it was the first one that I really spent a lot of quality, serious time on. I worked so hard on it. The funny thing is that I kind of really hate it now, particularly the colors. You can learn so much from bad paintings though, so I'm still glad I made it.

Luthien
RoseArt Colored Pencil on Typing Paper, 2002?

This is even older - the first finished attempt at a piece in color as well as from my imagination instead of being a copy of a photograph. Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion.
