Feanor in Valinor

My entry for the John Howe’s Theme Of The Month: Thinking A Head

Feanor in Valinor or The Bearded Feanor
It's the portrait of my dear friend, Yavuz, whom I've known since the second grade of high school. The first time I met him, he asked me who my favourite character from Silmarillion is. Having not read the book, I said Aragorn, guessing he would appear in other Tolkien books too. When I asked who his favourite is, he smiled and said: "Feanor, he is my hero."
So here is Yavuz as Feanor in Valinor, with a beard i decided not to remove. After all Cirdan also had beard, and so did Nerdanel's father.
