Well Estelyn, I can claim some skill in drawing but I just cannot understand how someone can make something so beautiful out of textiles... I absolutely suck at everything like that. So I guess we each have our strengths and weaknesses...

Greenie, nice that you shared. I've always liked that picture. But the size is not monstrous at all - it's quite small, like three or four times the size of your avvie.

Yeah, Greenie, can you make it bigger?


And nice work everyone! *goes on a repping spree*

Ummm... the preview showed it as monstrously big, I've no idea how it ended up being so small I can try making it bigger, though!

Great artwork, all!

My contribution is a mug that I painted (pictures attached), which you can't really relate to Tolkien from the first look. However, when I painted them, I was thinking about Elbereth and Yavanna (randomly). You'll see the resemblance.

PS: it's really not as bad as it looks on the pictures.

PPS: and I'm currently working on a Lalaith dol.

/kidding, that mug is lovely.

narfforc, your Théoden is spot on! Just how I imagine him.
And I like Gwath's balrog too.

Haha. That wouldn't be advisable, though, since it's made of paper-clay (this weird material that I haven't heard of before that's somewhere in the middle between clay and play-dough). Pretty hard to stick a pin into when it dries!

You guys got me addicted! Now, instead of reading in class, I doodle LOTR, The Sil, COH, and TH stuff on a random piece of paper... It's not that great, but I'll try to get some pictures on here sometime... maybe tomorrow.
