I wanted to draw Celebrian after her capture and torture by orcs in the Misty Mountains, and I had a rummage to see how other people had drawn her. All the images I found had huge gorgeous elaborate hair, but that didn't seem right for someone who was ill and despairing and leaving her family and her home to look for healing beyond the Sea. So I made her bald. Pp suggested the bright star overhead - it's Elrond's father Eärendil, watching.
