Varda, Lady of the Stars, one of the Valar, wife of Manwë.

I went a little crazy with the headpiece, but come on, she is the Queen of the Stars!

This is just one version of her, I have a bunch of them - I might have a slight obsession.

XD I don't think you went crazy with the headpiece. It's very fitting, and not the least bit overdone -- or at least, that's my opinion. I love Varda's eyes... do I see constellations there?

Ever thought of drawing Nienna?

Definitely! I'm actually planning to draw Nienna, Vána and Estë as well, two of them I've already started drawing but they're not finished yet! ;)

I really like this series of yours. I think there are not many such series, consistently showing all the Valar and I like your original concepts. The shihing headpiece is really beautiful and appropriate and the starry eyes... just indescribable! :love: I'm looking forward to see the other ones. :-)

It's wonderful to hear that! Thank you :D
I'm glad you think that, because I'm making them very elvish and I'm sure some people don't appreciate that, after all they are 'Gods' and their appearance could be a lot more other-worldly. I think both approaches to the idea are interesting. For now I'm all about elvish/human faces. :)
I love headpieces and I love Varda, I HAD to make her awesome!
And I'll try to keep them coming! The male Valar are certainly going to be a risky adventure, since I'm a lot more confortable drawing females!

Thank you for the comment and the fav! :dance:
