Oropher
This is the perfect artist rendering of Oropher I’ve ever seen. Exactly how I saw him in his youth (though he’s not born yet at this point in Book I, but if I had to picture him, this would it).
I just found this randomly online from polyvore, but no artist. Hope to find this artist because this is the perfect specimen of Oropher, father of Thranduil.
“He was the purest of High-Elf–eyes as grey as a summer storm filled with flecks of gold that whenever anger found him would appear to flash like lightning. He towered over everyone; broad shouldered and strapping he never failed to intimidate anyone even in kindness.his silky hair was fine as muslin and the color of the finest gold and took its course liberal he passed his shoulders coming to a stop short at the small of his back. Strong features set up on the smoothest and lightest skin, the color as the halo of the sun that failed to wrinkle even during one of his tirades.”–TKWR Trilogy by J.M. Miller
“The time will come for the flowing of blood again. Over the one thing singleminded creatures of this world cannot seem to live without. Power. Power over someone or something. It is the very heart of darkness that poisons those who seek it.”--King Oropher to Finëar (Ch. II, Book II: The Saga of Thranduil)
"You are warriors of the Elves. Warriors of Eryn Galen,” he began. “You have been called to rise against the shadow that has plagued this world since before our time began. It is by honor we fight, bound by duty. For peace it may bring should we end the darkness that has plagued the hearts of many and taken the lives of far more."--King Oropher to his Army in the TKWR:BII by J.M.Miller
