It looks pretty and Tolkien. Good representation of the trees and their powers, especially through the colors.

Yea! Stuff from the Silmarillion!
I love seeing anything from there, and I think that this is a great picture, I love the blending of the colors.

The use of color is great. I like the balance of the composition with the contrast of color. It looks like it was drawn with colored pencils, but I think you could make it better with paint. Nice work.

wow! I wasnt expecting any comments, but am pleasantly suprised!
Thanks so much guys for the compliments, yes it is color pencil
And I do try my hardest to stay true to Tolkiens own style, when basing work off of subjects such as this.
And as for the script, is says simply, in Quenya, Two Trees.

This is a breathtaking Tolkien artwork masterpiece. The colours are blended so well, and it really has the true sense of Tolkien in it. Beautiful! I love the border on the outside, and the way the tree boughs kind of stretch into it. It takes my breath away!

I'm impressed. You did very well with the color, as has been said. The crest looks very Tolkien-ish, and the background was done amazingly well; the colors blend and accent each other perfectly.
My only nitpick is that the title says "Aldu Valinor" which translates as just "(The) Two Trees Valinor". It would make more sense to say "Aldu Valinoro" or "Aldu Valinórëo" for "(The) Two Trees of Valinor".
Once again, you did a wonderful job with this. I'd like to see more from you.

This is a perfect drawing of the Two Trees of Valinor. I was looking at this at school, and my friend Megan (who has never read LOTR or the Sil) thought it was magnificent. It is a wonderful piece of artwork.

What an imagination you have. Not only that, you can take what you are dreaming and put it on paper, and that is quite impressive. Often I know what it is I want to draw, but I simply can't describe it on paper.
Beautiful colors and amazing design. I agree with tim about the painting though...you should take your talent and put it on paint instead of limiting your abilities to drawing with color pencils.

You all are way too kind *^_^*
nami-chan, thanks so much for the info on proper quenya! it took me forever just to find Two Trees, I wasnt about to attempt the proper conjugation of "of"! lol Thats why I left the top inscription as ONLY Two Trees, I didnt want to muck it up with bad Quenya!
Again thanks!
As for color pencil vs paint, I've always prefered the whimsical effect given by pencil.... altho I would love to master paints as I have pencils, but alas, I havent the room for the paint mess I would make in my little appartment ![]()
again, thank you all! ![]()

But the tips of the Trees should look more like branches. Now they don't look very good
Still it's great picture

actually Eowyn, I made the trees purposely that way, as it is a style which Tolkien used in his own drawings of trees.
they arent supposed to look realistic

I have not read the Simirillion yet, but just looking at this picture makes me want to run out and buy it! Absolutly fabulous. Love the colors! Keep up the good work and hope to see more of it soon!
P.S: I know I've said this a couple of times on different pieces of artwork, but I just recently posted a picture and would appreciate some constructive criticism from all you art fans. Just look for "Chantelle Cochrane: Elrond (pencil drawing)" in the fanart section. It should be on the front page. ![]()
Thanks everyone!!!!

some of these comments make me laugh.... I do illustrations for a living, have a degree in the arts (not that that matters really)... if I wanted to put up pencil drawings copied from photos, I am sure I'd get high ratings here... not that its a very difficult thing to do (make copies of photos that is)! I could post here more "popular" "shaded" portraits.... but that is not the work I am most proud of. I'd rather see... and share... those things that havent been seen.
Please do not compare my work to the others here... we all have different styles, and prefer different subjects.

I liked this so much that I printed it out and hung it on the wall of my daughters play room. I like to hang up colorful pictures for her as well as things that will strike her imagination. It was very big though!
I love to find pictures of the two trees!
Thank you!

Wonderful work. Thanks for sharing your vision. I really like the homage to Tolkien's own work combined with your own strong style and coloring. Sorry you're getting silliness from folks who don't understand what you're doing. Most of them are just kids, I think. More power to you, in my opinion. Keep up the good work!

Trees of Valinor....I like the colour and the details, and it's so Tolkien like people before said...It must have taken a great effort to draw that picture. Great job, and keep it up.
Wonderful, really...
This drawing is very colorful and creative. It has a unique style that is appealing, and the symbol in the center is interesting. I really like this picture, it's very lovely!
really nice
love it. I really like the way it's coloured, everything.
well done, it's gorgeous...
Love the many varied colors
This picture really deserves a five!
You really managed to catch the essence of the Two Trees. It should be used as a banner.
I think it's great.
Another wow comment - but I really wish I could get tone like that with pencils. Thank you SO much for inspiring me to do some more artwork!
its not perfect...BUT THATS WHY I LOVE IT!!!
Amazing job! i still love it!
It reminds me of the Professor's drawing style.
Beautiful.
Oh, and I wanted to add I think it would make a lovely wall hanging. :)

its beautiful!
