Tolkien Art - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gwathagor · 06-27-2009, 11:08 AM

I've been wondering - has there ever been any kind of collection of Middle-earth related art by Barrow-downers? If there hasn't, then I think there probably should be. We have plenty of artists here.

Hmm... I know there's this thread, but that's more about Downers than ME

I have attempted to draw Tolkien related art in the past but I am a terrible artist. Although I have made some of my own maps of Middle Earth. I am good at drawing maps and to me that is art.

Hmmm... That sounds like a fun project, scanning our art and uploading an archive. It wouldn't have to be perfect, as long as you try.

Hakon · 07-06-2009, 04:50 PM

I will post some of the maps I have when I get home. I am currently on vacation, well sort of.

Nessa Telrunya · 07-06-2009, 04:59 PM

I can't draw maps very well, but I'm okay at little chibi cartoons.

Galadriel55 · 03-25-2011, 05:28 PM

So here are the promised pictures. My scanner doesn't want to work, and my camera doesn't like me. Both are doing their best to prevent me from posting proper images.

Hopefully I'll be able to attach the document with the pictures. I also included blurbs for each one explaining what it's about.

Edit: I see the attachment didn't work.

Maybe the file is too big, but it doesn't say anything about size. Just says that the link is invalid.

I'll try to get it on soon.

Why did my computer take the side of the camera and the scanner?

EDIT 2: Third attempt to attach the file, this time in 2 separate documents... and failed again. Fourth attempt - resorting to Paint... still doesn't work. I feel like smashing my computer against the wall a few times.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Galadriel55 · 03-25-2011, 10:00 PM

I don't kow why I couldn't attach the images here, but it worked a different way. I created this website just for the sake of putting the pictures on.

It's nothing pretty, but it's good enough. To get to the pictures, you click on where it says "Art" on the left. Enjoy!

PS: it might take a while for the pictures to load.

Galadriel55 · 03-29-2011, 05:26 PM

I added more pictures to the website, again because thy wouldn't load here: "Three Elven Rings", "The One Ring", "Galadriel", and "Eowyn and Faramir" (This one ended up in the middle of the page somehow)

The long-promised Lalaith doll... that does not look like Lalaith at all. There's still lots to fix (I'm working on a stand for her, and then I need to find hair gel strong enough to hold down her hair, etc)...

Oh, I think it does. She's so sweet and innocent in that eyelash-batting way at first sight, but if you look at her long enough, you can see wicked Little Carcharoth peeping out of those big green eyes, looking for another butterfly to kill. Are you going to make a goose companion for her?
