The prayer of Fingon

Maedhros therefore, being in anguish without hope, begged Fingon to shoot him with his bow; and Fingon strung an arrow and bent his bow. And seeing no better hope he cried to Manwë, saying: “O King to whom all birds are dear, speed now this feathered shaft, and recall some pity for the Noldor in their need!”

Ο Μαεδρος, λοιπον, επειδη βασανιζοταν χωρις ελπιδα, παρακαλεσε τον Φινγκον να τον σαïτεψει με το τοξο του, κι ο Φινγκον εβαλε ενα βελος και τεντωσε το τοξο του. Και μην ελπιζοντας τιποτε καλυτερο φωναξε στον Μανγουε, λεγοντας: «Ω, Βασιλια, εσυ που αγαπας ολα τα πουλια, οδηγησε τωρα τουτην τη φτερωτη σαιτα και δειξε λιγη λυπηση για τους Νολντορ, στην χρεια τους!»

This is one of my favourite Silmarillion scenes… I always get goosebumps when I read it. I’ve been trying to draw it for a long time, unsuccessfully. This time though I am very happy with the result. I had a google reference for the pose, but in the end, mine came out a lot different.
Let’s just pretend that the big sword he certainly had with him is on the other side. And that he dropped the harp somewhere.
