How about we make it easy, and both agree that Gildor is Italian.

It reminds me of a long, long time ago, when I had art class and the assignment was to make a clay bust of ourselves or a random classmate. Mine went through this weird phase of looking like an old french man, then he turned into 'jesus'. Needless to say my art teacher was okay with it, but mostly confused.

I really wonder what Radagast is going to look like though. Any bets?

What's so funny about Lobelia?
I think it's neat and kind of amusing, considering what happened when Saruman set up camp in the Shire (sort of like Lobelia getting her say). Though, I really hope you include *your* pink umbrella. It wouldn't be Lobelia without her umbrella.


Thanks for reviewing the horrible drawing everyone, I posted it so late at night I probably wouldn't notice much.

Well, maybe the standards of a 'horrible' drawing have changed, but that doesn't look retarded. He's quite putting Aragorn to shame.

Though, it's Anke-Katrin Eissemann. She makes all of us feel inferior.

Hope this works, if not well, you can always draw your own.

For example, the pictures I found of Radagast made him look like Santa Claus crossed with Sasquatch. Needless to say, the matter of making my own became top priority.

And very good it is, too.

Meanwhile Agan's new avatar looks pretty much the way I've always pictured Lobelia.

Hmmn. Théodred and Éomer. I foresee that we're going to be hearing a lot about horses...

I quite like the picture of him by Quinton Hoover - I have it on my page, you can look it up here. Even though he looks a little bit like Vinnetou, I like him. The question is, whether it will look as good when you make it smaller...

My avatar is a bit messy, or so I heard (it took Noggie, Lommy and Agan around a minute to realise where the Éomer in the picture was ) so here is a bigger pic.

Of course I will! Funnily enough, I didn't even think about Lobelia & Saruman's ah so friendly terms when I chose to play her.

And I just love that Radagast, Ka - it made me laugh, and still does. Is there any possibility to see a bigger version of it?

Thanks. I admit I've never had a clear image about what she should look like, but I was having a boring day at school, and... she just came to look like that.

Ah, nostalgia; I have no idea why, but that picture amused me very much when I was smaller. It caused me and a friend to make jokes of Halbarad.

It rather took me a minute to realise what picture that was. But after that it was easy to find Éomer there.

I just have one thing to beg of you Aganzir: please don't have Lobelia stealing any of the fellowship's spoon's!! It will be hard enough, killing Were Wolves and all, without having someone stealing our spoons!
