The second part of chapter 1! The twins are hungry, so Maedhros takes them to the kitchens for an early breakfast porridge XD Also, Maedhros is sitting with the twins at the table (this was more obvious in my original drafts of the comic lol). As for the cloaks the twins are wearing, I had the idea that it could be their Sindarin (coughMidnightElfcough) robes that Maedhros got patched up, but then I thought that maybe those would be too wrecked from being in the woods and snow for a week. But at the same time, dressing the twins in red robes felt like Maedhros would be moving too forward too quickly, so I decided to go with blue (albeit a High Elven blue XD).
One of these days I'll have to practice drawing more backgrounds. But rest assured that Amon Ereb's kitchen would be much bigger ^^; Oh, and just in case there's any confusion, the cook isn't Maglor, he's just one of the many cooks of the fortress XDD
With all that said, this concludes chapter 1! I hope to get started on chapter 2 soon XDD Something I forgot to mention in the last part was that I listened to Nadir by Gavin Luke for inspiration while drawing. I think the melody suits the atmosphere quite well!
For the cover: the title at the top reads I Echui, which in Sindarin translates to, "The Awakening"; in thr middle, Sath Daid translates to, "Part 2"; and at the bottom, In Elin Gelebrin translates to, "The Silver Stars."
An AU fan comic of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion. In this AU, Elven Lord Maedhros does manage to rescue the twin princes Elured and Elurin after the Second Kinslaying. Despite the twins' shaky memories of the attack upon their homeland, they do not know that Maedhros was one of those who led it. Here is a look into how their time together might have gone.
