Beleg before his hair turned silver because of Turin old age.

Don’t worry, I’m still doing modern au requests, I was just hit by inspiration. 

For the anon who asked about life drawing, here’s an example of how I do it:

   The structuring is the most important part. Try to get the features as accurate as possible. Resist the urge to go into the details. It looks weird right now because of the lack of shading.

 Getting the lighting right is also important. You need to figure out where the direct light is coming from.

The rendering is actually the easiest part. Once you’ve got the position of the features and the lighting, all you need to do is fill it in.

  Another thing that I’ve had to learn is the importance of contrast. You need darkness to contrast the light parts so don’t be afraid to darken the necessary parts.

Once the City of Kings Where the Elven Lord Elros made his home Among the blossoming growth Sweet laughs caught upon the wind The Star of Eärendil brightens the night sky with the fading light of the Two Trees

And the Valar watch us with kind eyes and tender care Tis Númenor where life is untainted and death is unknown,

But Annatar- Lord of Gifts- showed us the altar and decorated it with wynorrific things The Good God Morgoth who we shed our bliss for The promise of immortality, of days spent to praise the seas and land But alas! As we reached the Valar’s home, our white city turned black and soiled

The ground quaked with anger, and fire bit flesh So Ulmo swallowed the great kingdom, men and women and children taken to the depths of his home Tis the fate of Númenor, as such with every Man.
