Hello, all! I searched for a topic like this to place my link on, but I was unable to find a topic that wasn't closed that would serve. I intend this topic mainly for Barrowdowners to not only tell me what you think of the art link I am posting, but also to post a link to your favorite fan art (NOT professional illustrators, but amateur works that you consider to be of merit). Or just express your wish to see a certain scene illustrated!
Some time ago, I asked a friend of mine who does a lot of creature art to illustrate a scene from the Silmarillion-- the fight between Finrod Felagund and the werewolf in the dungeons of Morgoth. I was only able to provide a brief description, and she had never read any of Tolkien's works, but the resulting piece of art is still quite nice! (I told her that it was a fight between the fairest Elf in Middle Earth and a great werewolf in a dungeon. Finrod has a sword and shield, but don't hold it against him!) She also says she inadvertently made Finrod look like a character called "Link," and I'm not sure who that is, but I'm sure someone here does! Here is the link (I've hosted the pic on my webspace--it is about 110K). Let me know what you think, and she says she takes requests and will attempt to draw a scene if you describe it to her! PM me if you have any requests! Her artist name is Nova and she does a lot of creature type art. I'll pass them on!
Finrod and the Werewolf (http://www.ardmore.net/~frodo/FinrodWolfNova.jpg)
Also feel free to post links to other favorite pieces of fan art (don't post the images here, unless they're hosted on your own webspace--see the BW's thread in the Barrowdowns forum about posting images. )
Cheers and Enjoy!
