I've been really busy for the last few weeks but I'm not complainin' I am illustrating a book by Douglas Kane about the creation of the published Silmarillion. Here you have a brief description of the book to be published next year:
In The History of Middle-earth, Christopher Tolkien documents in amazing detail the development of the lifelong work of his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, that would become The Silmarillion. However, neither Christopher Tolkien himself, nor anyone else, has ever thoroughly documented the final step: his actual creation (several years after his father's death) of the published work.
That has finally changed. ARDA RECONSTRUCTED: The Creation of the Published Silmarillion reveals a tapestry woven by Christopher Tolkien from different portions of his father's work that is often quite mind-boggling, with inserts that seemed initially to have been editorial inventions shown to have come from some remote other portion of Tolkien's vast body of work. I demonstrate how material that was written over the course of more than 30 years was merged together. I also make a frank appraisal of the material omitted by Christopher Tolkien (and in a couple of egregious cases the material invented by him) and how these omissions and insertions may have distorted his father's vision of what he consideredeven more then The Lord of the Ringsto be his most important work. It is a fascinating portrait of a unique collaboration that reached beyond the grave.
I am really thankful to Doug for giving me the opportunity to collaborate in this project so dear to his heart and that is the result of years of dedication and hard work
Since last February I have been doing character studies (I have uploaded some of them) and sketching some of the scenes that will appear in the book. The illustration for the cover is finished, although it will need some finishing touches for the book jacket. Here you have a little preview of two of the characters in that scene: Manwë Súlimo and Mandos

Play for me, Minstrel, my love,
play a harp, her neck is of gold,
in a dance, which covers my soul,
I'll become the mirror of my thoughts...

I have Beren & Lúthien on my to-do list, but there are other things I need to finish first for some projects I'm part of.
