Кого там интересовало, почему Дженни Дольфен вечно рисует Маэдроса с короткими волосами?

Haha, I'm going to give you both answers. :D

Answer number two: Because when the orcs captured him, they cut off his hair, and he kept it short afterwards - for practicality and as a constant reminder.
(That's the thoughtful answer that's never stated in the book, of course.)

Answer number one: Because I've just always imagined him like that.
(That's the true answer which nobody seems to want. :D)

As for why I've always imagined him short-haired and others long-haired from the start - it has to do with personality and sounds in names. I noticed that many characters with dark, masculine-sounding sounds in their names got short hair from me, of people who were just so no-nonsense that I just couldn't imagine them long-haired. MaedhrOS, FeanOR, ThingOL, TURgOn all have short(ish) hair for me. With Maedhros, it can well be that the Greek ending to his name helped.

Тут недавно прочитала версию, что "Серый плащ" - это от от волос пошло.

Хм... тогда бы уж был Серебряный наверное. Что у Тингола, что у Келегорма, мне кажется, волосы ближе к белому, платиновому, нежели к седому серому.

Вспоминая, что Кистямуры "Серый" часто переводили "Серебристым". "Серебристые Гавани" у меня до сих пор в подкорке сидят.
