Artist: goss
Rating: G
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Content Notes: Created for Drawing Challenge #51 - BIPOC Diversity in Fantasy. Inspired by flameandsong's Black version of Legolas (manip). This is a digital sketch, with a sepia tint added. I used model Jacob Robinson in thin dreads as reference. It's something of a work-in-progress...
