Well, I have Daffy Duck on my desktop (see avatar) but I had the Argonath up for a while. So that's Isildur and Elendil, right?
Nimrodel
12-08-2002, 02:13 PM
Actually, Diamond, You're half right; they are Isildur and Anarion.
I have a collage of characters as my desktop.

akay, here's the stat's so far

The TWO TOWERS poster-two
LEGOLAS!!!-3
collage of different characters-4 (I added some of the people who rotated posters to this category)
Places in Middle Earth-2
Ringwraith or evil things- one
gimli- one
Good stats so far. But I'm surprised no one has Aragorn smilies/eek.gif on their desktop(he's my second hottest person, next to Legolas of course)

12-09-2002, 10:20 PM
WOW! I've probably got the same one - the eye of Sauron both on desktop and screensaver.
Wanted to change the screensaver to 'the Ring on the bottom of Anduin', but forgot where I saw it. smilies/rolleyes.gif Anyone seen it? Help!

I have the TTT Frodo wallpaper (with a small Frodo and Sam being lead by Gollum at the bottom) from the official site... and that is accompanied by many different LOTR icons.
A little overboard? Nah!

Its Legolas smilies/mad.gif, a revolving series of Orlando Bloom takes, endlessly parading across my computer screen, filling my sleeping with nightmares, and my waking with dread. One blue eyed, blond haired, vision after another, without respite and unmerciful.
No, it wasn't my idea…

I have the Two Towers desktop with a big, gorgeous Aragorn, and Legolas, Gandalf, and Gimli. It's blue and says "The Two Towers: The Journey Continues December 18th." I also have it on my computer at work. Plus the TTT screensaver with, you guessed it- Aragorn. smilies/smile.gif

I used to have a pic of Smaug on my desktop, but my brother changed it. I then had a collage of all the movie posters, but my brother changed it. I then had a picture of Frodo smilies/wink.gif but my brother changed it.( smilies/mad.gif smilies/mad.gif ) Then my mum, tired of our constand bickering, locked the desktop on a plain teal backround smilies/mad.gif smilies/mad.gif smilies/mad.gif !!!!!

heres the depths of my sickness:
built a computer. named it "Orodruin."
set up different user settings for different themes: for example, there is a nazgul theme with a nazgul desktop, middle-earthish cursors, part of track 5 for startup, almost everything black w/red text.
there is a default "Mt.doom" theme with art from one of the mogul lotr artists, same cursors, and such. unfortunately it isn't connected to the internet-i'm doing this from my parents dell computer. it's all black and cool, my name for it is "barad-dur." one final note-i admire sauron's constructs-his fortresses and forges-not the maia himself.
now crown me lord-high-hobbit king of the computer geeks. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

This picture of Minas Tirith (http://www.nightrunner.com/cgi-bin/show_image.py?id=1134&pn=0) has been my wallpaper for over 2 years and I still think it looks GREAT!

My golly, Demloth!
anyhoo, I used to have the painting of Bag End on my wall paper...but since the comp's in my bor's room, he put Mike Portnoy's drum set instead (interesting set).
Maybe after I get to see the movie, I'll get my bro to put up a pic of Faramir or Legolas. After all, I used to own his room

I have a beautiful hand-drawn picture of Frodo looking out over the Anduin valley with Mordor in the background. I can't remember who the artist is, but it's really an excellect pic.
Right now I am using the Rivendell screen saver from the official website, but have several others loaded from there that I switch around every so often.

I dont have any chars on my desktop, but i have the full Gallery of the Hildebrant Lotr Artwork cycling through as my Screen saver, I love the pic of Eowyn and the Witchking
Sleeping Beauty
12-16-2002, 11:25 PM
*laughs* Right now I have a waterfall. I have a program that scrolls through my 1000 something backgrounds. My favorite LOTR background is the picture John Howe did of Gandalf walking down the path. You probably know the one. Though when the movie is out Wed, I will probably put up the official site's one of Frodo.
Ebony
12-17-2002, 09:10 AM
I love the Hildebrandt LOTR series! Did you see the recent special on, hm, it was either Bravo or Showcase; it was a JRRT special and featured Hildebrandt's work. I know of a website where you can go to view the whole series, but I'm new and don't know if you're allowed to post links here. Is it okay or not?
meliverinde
12-17-2002, 02:27 PM
Hi Ebony!
I suppose you can try here (http://fan.theonering.net/rolozo/collection/hildebrandt/?hide=-3) or maybe this one (http://www.nightrunner.com/cgi-bin/artistlist.py?d=1). I don't know if it's what you're looking for but both sites are very good and very well known.
Have fun,
