#i didnt mean for that loll

A portrait of Beren before he cut off his braids, from @allthatglittersisnotgoldrush! I wasn’t satisfied with the first portrait I did for him, so I tried my hand at it again; this is more how I envision him!

The beads in his braids aren’t from the AU; authors, I hope the y’all don’t mind! ^^;; I was just really inspired by Beren adding beads to Finrod’s braids, so I thought to myself, what if Lúthien heard about it and did something similar, but with jade beads strung through with red thread (pointing to her Chinese heritage)? Hers would have a romantic touch too, as opposed to the platonic/familial gesture of Finrod’s braids :DDD
