Celebrían leaving Rivendell
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.
Format: art, pastels
Rating: gen
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?

This is very moving. The contrast between Celebrian's expression and the cosy buildings behind her, their windows full of light, speaks volumes about her state of mind. The fact that you made her bald is inspired. It perfectly illustrates that she is not OK. It's true that a picture can speak a thousand words.
