Wings of Freedom by @dark_persian (Donna)

I’ve been working on this one for ages! Someone please give me a good hard slap if I ever attempt to draw another bird!! clutches wrist in agony The feathers! No! Please no more feathers!! twitch twitch

This is one of the tales from J R R Tolkien’s ‘Silmarillion’. Maedhros (left) was captured by the evil Morgorth, tortured and chained to a cliff precipice by his right wrist. (I only realized my stupid mistake of drawing the bandage on the left arm when I’d finished…) His cousin, Fingon the valiant rescued Maedhros with Thorondor, the Eagle king’s help but had to cut off his hand to free him. Of course that’s not the whole story but if you want to read what happens in full (if you haven’t already) I suggest you get yourself down to a library or better – buy your own copy! Anyone who’s read the Lord of the Rings already should really give this book a try! hugs her copy

Oh yes, and feel free to laugh good n’ loud at my pitiful try at a background.
