    I know lots of people with seven kids. And they love having that many children.

    Very beautiful. I’ve always pitied her … imagine being married to Fëanor!

    She is beautiful! And nobody say that having seven kids is bad, I’m the eldest of seven and I take offense.

    This reminds me of Davinci’s sketches. It’s very inspiring and poetic, but introvert and intimate.

    And she looks it. Brave, strong, yet gentle. Like every mother of 7 I’ve known.

    Very true, Celebrian, very true. I absolutely adore the shading, and the use of red instead of black.

    It’s entrancing. Like SenoritaC said..poetic but extremely intimante. This is how I imagine her after Feanor

    It’s earthy. Just how I imagined her. Pretty but not stunning, high-hearted and in love…and love broke her.

    Beautiful, yet her eyes are sad. She and Feanor became estranged, so you can understand why.
