So beautiful! His expression strikes me as especially poignant - there's something very sad and reflective, but calm, and it strikes me as very fitting for someone who can't rest from his task.

His clothing is lovely, too - I like the collar of his tunic especially, and the design of his circlet. Wonderful work, all of it.

Thank you! He's a complex character, who has more freedom than a regular elf but was robbed of the ultimate freedom he could have achieved if he'd stayed mortal.
