Well, I thought there were a lot of pics available for the last chapter! the Narn is an absolute artist's paradise - death, destruction, love, angst, dragons, you name it, the Narn has it.

Unfortunately, though, people's interests only start to be piqued with Túrin himself. Pictures of Morwen, Húrin, Lalaith and other early characters are much harder to come by.


~~ The Childhood of Túrin ~~

There's only one pic of Morwen I've found that I actually *like*, but unfortunately its on deviantArt rather than in the CoE gallery. So the link is here for that.

A young and handsome Húrin? Now that I've never managed to find! Please please let me know if you know of such a pic Pics of Urwen (Lalaith) are equally lacking.

The nearest we can get to Lalaith is this, a young Túrin looking over the Nen Lalaith (Peter Price):

Image



~~ The Words of Húrin and Morgoth ~~

There's only one pic needed here, Ted Nasmith's amazing work:

Image



~~ The Departure of Túrin ~~

Nothing of Brodda or Aerin, unfortunately *sigh* Or nothing of young (or clothed) Nienor.



~~ Túrin in Doriath ~~

Pictures start to flow. I think its something to do with the abundance of gorgeous elves in Doriath. Something like that, anyway.

Peter Price painted Nellas looking after Túrin:

Image


And Anke Eissmann painted this wonderful picture of Túrin asking leave from Thingol and Melian to depart Doriath:

Image


Saeros - while seemingly unolved by artists during his life, was more popular in death. Ted Nasmith:

Image



~~ Túrin among the Outlaws ~~

Anke Eissmann's Beleg and Turin:

Image


Her Beleg, Túrin and mob of outlaws:

Image


Even Forweg gets a picture from Anke:

Image



~~ Of Mîm the Dwarf ~~

Anke again:

Image


And again(!), showing the outlaws and Mîm ascending Amon Rudh:

Image


.. a scene also painted by Nasmith:

Image


More with the 2nd half - Gwindor, Beleg ... hot elves will abound!

How about this one?

Image


No, in all honesty, since we discovered that Trent could pass for Túrin, I keep seeing him that way - and it really improved my reading experience. I never linked all these dark, almost demonic ideas to him - I've always like Túrin, but now he seems more real, closer to home.

I don't find that darkness in any of the pics you selected, probably because there isn't much of the 'darker action' going on yet, but there's this sense of foreboding to Beleg and Túrin by Eissmann - so basically, I really like that one.

I've seen a painting of Lalaith, it was by Ted Nasmith or John Howe, IIRC. I'll link to it later if I find it; right now, I've no time to search for it.

EDIT: It was by Nasmith all right. http://www.tednasmith.com/silmarillion/sketches/TN-Lalaith.jpg

There is one by Ted Nasmith on his site in the sketches section (it's about 10 pictures down) if that's the one you mean Morwinyoniel.
