Celebrían leaving Rivendell

[bunn.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Celebrían's capture and torture by orcs, and subsequent departure to Valinor, was a heartbreaking loss that deeply affected her family. At the same time, her departure must have affected not only those close to her, but the entirety of Rivendell.

Creator’s Notes: I looked through other art showing Celebrían, and they all showed her with enormous, amazing, gorgeous, high-maintenance hair.  But that didn't seem to fit someone traumatised, who was leaving her family and home to seek healing.  So I have made her bald.  She can ride though - it's hard to see how she would get out of Rivendell to the Havens without being able to ride a horse. And the bright star is Eärendil, watching.
Creator’s Apologetic mumblings: I meant to link to the original prompt, but I lost it.  And I meant to post this weeks ago and do a companion piece of Elrond, but work ate my time.  You can click to embiggen though?

Very touching. Celebrian's face shows so much. The fact that she's alone in the picture, even if others are with her but not shown, is very meaningful.

Yes, I assume that she would not have ridden to the Havens alone - surely her sons at least would have wanted to go with her - but making the decision and setting off must have been a terribly lonely moment none the less.
