The Fall of the Queen of Mirkwood 02

Description

As seen on my tumblr:

Final moments of the good, brave soul who decided to let go. One last time for the Elvenking Thranduil Oropherion to look upon his light.

I personally like to think that in her last moments she tried to convey that she was at peace with this choice - hence the sad, yet comforting smile, and the hand gesture we all know.

Arainulîn-bereth means “Light in the eyes of a doe” as well as “Light in the eyes of a noble lady”, depending on the reading in Sindarin. It is one of the variations of the title of the Queen, but not her name - I decided to leave her nameless, as I do not wish to force a character further into an existing world. Among different versions we have Arainuen, Arainúnen, and many more (feel free to ask).

Arainulîn-bereth (OC) and sketch by me.
