Master Elrond

Description

I was in a train a few days ago, for a 700 km trip, and I had nothing to do. So, although it's quite tricky to draw in a train, I came up with this drawing, featuring some random elven master of lore. When I showed it to my little brothers, they said he looked like Elrond, so I decided that he would be Elrond after all.
For this one I used a style of clothes and haircut which is more influenced by the style of the elves in the LotR movies (long hair, bare forehead, kimono-like clothes) than in most of my other elf drawings. I know that some people don't like this style or at least feel that it is too omnipresent in recently made elf pictures, but I always thought it was perfectly adapted for elven wise men (but less for warriors) so that's why I chose it.
The text in tengwar reads "Elrond" in one of the many existing modes.

N.B.: This drawing is certainly NOT meant to look like the LotR movies' Elrond (remember, in the beginning he wasn't supposed to be Elrond), and the reason for this is simple: there is not a single character from the books that was as badly pictured, as misunderstood, by the movies, as Elrond was. Using agent Smith to play him was an enormous casting mistake and resulted in a cold, despisefull and jealous elf, nothing like the calm, strong and wellcoming loremaster of the books.
