Bah Legate I would never draw Boromir like that! I imagine him good-looking!

I love Lauri's drawing, as well as Brinn's.
Legate's pic made me crack up. Especially the mountain & the tree.
Nog's tree is super awesome.
Berry's pic is very good, too. The ent has a lovely expression.

Anyway you all did good work. It was rather funny how much this changed from the original picture. Thanks for modding once again, Hookie.

Awesome!

I must say I wondered how can someone have drawn an "oddly shaped and graffitied Nazgûl" but now I understand. What I can't understand is that I didn't get the obvious Túrin references... *headdesk*

I loved it all. I like all the dragons in the pictures, they're incredibly cute and Legate's, Nogrod's and Beregond's trees are gorgeous too (and wilwa's cauliflower as well ) and so is pretty much everything else (Brinn's and Eönwë's nazgûl!) but what I actually liked the best was Rune's sentence. It was brilliant and it cracked me up totally.

Thanks everybody, and Hookbill of course especially!

Hey, that was fun! Aside from the apparent masterpieces art-wise, I find Lommy's graffited Nazgul and wilwa's CM incredibly cuuute Although what I liked really the most was the portrayal of Bombur the Geomethric (but also the square-shaped characters). I just loved Form's picture, though, and Eönwë's consequent sentence ("Saruman of Ye Blacke Staffe commandeth..." ) And I also like Hookbill's original pic a lot.

By the way, when looking at it, I found it interesting that on my picture, Radagast reappeared again (even though he was already not in the text anymore by then).

Thumbs up

Wonderful stuff this round - Aganzir's pic had me in stitches, Laurinque's (beardless?) Bombur and Beregond's zombies appearing out of the mist were also standouts.

Excellent!

That was a really excellent round. I was particularly impressed with the palm trees and Radagast's (and Rhosgobel's) frequent visits, despite my best efforts to re-christen him Radicand. This game is insane and never ceases to astound me with all the odd interpretations we get. I help with that of course.... it's the best part. Long live Cauliflower man!

Love your picture Beregond. Aganzir too.
