"And as they watched, upon the mound there came forth two slender shoots; and silence was over all the world in that hour, nor was there any other sound save the chanting of Yavanna.
Under her song the saplings grew and became fair and tall, and came to flower; and thus there awoke in the world the Two Trees of Valinor."

-- The Silmarillion --

At last...
After over three years without realising any vector pictures, I'm back with this one. It was in pending mode in my files and decided I'd finished it cause it's one of my favorite chapter written by Tolkien.

I hope you'll like it, it has a lot of details and i know you can't see a lot here, so I'll do a closeup pic in the week, you'll be able to see how much I was crazy in this pic ! :giggle:

The next one in the serie of Valar will be Vaire.

Yavanna Kementari by ~Zhaana is a beautifully created Art Nouveau inspired vector piece. A great use of stock and a variety of skillful techniques have went into such an inspiring composition. The Suggester tells us: "I love how it's a take on the old style of art nouveau with modern techniques and the piece is simply put stunning."

Excellent work! I admire people who can work in vector like that. I've done it a time or two and know that it takes a LOT of time. But this is very beautiful! Well worth the effort!

nice! I've been bandying about a couple of ideas for doing this very passage; I've even been thinking of using the bullet/arch shape too, though it'd probably be with charcoal versus digital =)
