Isil the Sheen, the Moon as described in the Silmarillion. 🌕⁠ What do you think about my depiction of it?⁠

Telperion bore at last⁠ upon a leafless bough one great flower of silver, and Laurelin a single trait of gold. These Yavanna took; and then the Trees died, and their lifeless stems stand yet in Valinor, a memorial of vanished joy. But the flower and the fruit Yavanna gave to Aulë, and Manwë hallowed them, and Aulë and his people⁠ made vessels to hold them and preserve their radiance: as is said in the Narsilion, the Song of the Sun and Moon. (...) ⁠:Isil the Sheen the Vanyar of old named the Moon, flower of Telperion in Valinor; (...)⁠

The maiden whom the Valar chose from among the Maiar to guide the vessel of the Sun was named Arien, and he that steered the island of the Moon was Tilion. In the days of the Trees Arien had tended the golden flowers in the gardens of Vána, and watered them with the bright dews of Laurelin; but Tilion was a hunter of the company of Oromë, and he had a silver bow. He was a lover of silver, and when he would rest he forsook the woods of Oromë, and going into Lórien he lay hi dream by the pools of Estë, in Telperion's flickering beams; and he begged to be given the task of tending for ever the last Flower of Silver.⁠

• I drew this for the Inktober Day 18 prompt "Moon". And obviously as a companion piece to the drawing of the Sun that I made recently. I am still not quite satisfied with it and I think just like the Sun drawing it would benefit from larger scale. So I might redraw both of them if I have the time.⁠
