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. ;)

Fingon belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien

Beautiful work! I like everything : Fingon's expression, his flowing hair, the details in his clothes...
It's one of my fave scenes too. I love Fingon for going to help Maedhros.

Thank you so much, I am glad you like it!:D
It was indeed so brave of him; I love him for it too. He truly values friendship highly, and that is such a wonderful trait to have. He risked so many things for Maedhros. I admire him for it.

He must have dropped both the harp and the sword, very nice rendering!

Thank you very much! The truth is that I looked at myself in the mirror some times to see how this expression would be;) and then I tried getting it down on paper. I'm glad you like it! :)
