Goldberry

Here's a character I had originally meant to submit to a Lord of the Rings Exhibition last year but couldn't complete it in time (if you would like to see the exhibition you can view it online here). Since then I redesigned her and here you see her finished in her silver green dress and forget-me-nots in her hair.

"...they saw Goldberry now small and slender like a sunlit flower against the sky; she was standing still watching them, and her hands were stretched out towards them. As they looked she gave a clear call, and lifting up her hand she turned and vanished behind the hill."

Ink, watercolour and gouache on Arches 640gsm smooth watercolour paper.

2014.

Edit 13/8/14 just got new scans done of my artwork which I am looking to get made up into prints. The prints won't have the watermark on the image, I'll update when the prints are available.
