Eomer, I figured that one might be a little hard to figure out. It's of mormegil, based off of his old avatar of a monkey with a gun (I presumed).

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-08-2005, 01:59 PM

If anyone is wondering about TGWBS's latest creation, it depicts my former signature Lost in Translation.

And one finds it most amusing.

The Only Real Estel · 09-08-2005, 02:05 PM

Ah, that does clear up a thing or two, Saucey.

Orominuialwen · 09-09-2005, 04:58 PM

I have drawn a celtic knot that reminds me of a BDer. I'll post it as soon as I get a better version drawn and I can take a picture of it. (I don't have a scanner, so advance apologies for the possible fuzziness.)

Edit: Here's the knot. I touched it up a bit in Photoshop, since it came out fuzzy and with the colors very off when I took a picture of it, but unfortunately the writing is a bit weird and the color is still sort of wrong. See if you can guess who it reminded me of. (The color is a hint.)

Wilwarin!

It's wonderful how symbols can make you think of so many things based upon simple shapes and memorable colours. Very good knot, I've had to keep a distance from drawing them, since one side always seems to be lopsided and nothing matches up the the other end... Yours is very skilled.

wilwarin538 · 09-10-2005, 07:44 AM

Very pretty Oromin. I like it very much.

Well done. I also noticed its kinda shaped like a butterfly, thats so cool.

Orominuialwen · 09-10-2005, 09:24 AM

I'm glad you like it! I was a bit worried that nobody would get it, since when I showed it to my brother he couldn't figure it out at all.

Ka, the reason it came out so well is because I draw them on a grid. I learned how to do them when I got this book out from the library last summer. I started out just making the ones in the book, and then started designing my own about 6 or 7 months ago. In fact, I'm in the process of designing a pendant with a similar knot on it for my jewelry making class, but that's another story...

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 09-10-2005, 11:46 AM

Oromin, that's a really nice pic. I'd imagine that drawing complicated knots like that can make you crazy... Sounds like fun!

I've approached a couple of our fellow Downers from a canine perspective. Can you guess who they are?

the guy who be short · 09-10-2005, 11:50 AM

Very cool, spawn. Laitanyel.

I particularly liked the Eomer one. Verily do I mourn the loss of that Avatar.

The Fordim one was also nice though.

Glirdan · 09-10-2005, 01:09 PM

I kind of thought those were the two that you drew spawn. Good job!! Very awsomely done.

Boromir88 · 09-13-2005, 02:24 PM

Spawn, I'd say the first one reminds me of Fordim.

The Second, only person who comes to mind is the one with the snoopy avatar...Mr. Eomer of the Rohirrim.

Good drawings, I only wish I was quasi-artistic.

WaynetheGoblin · 09-13-2005, 04:22 PM

I know right away the second one was emor but I dont think the first one reminds me of anybody good job.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 09-14-2005, 07:23 AM

Thanks guys! You're right, the first one is indeed our favourite pollster Fordim and the second one is an Auspicious ex-Snoopy in a kilt ie. Eomer.

edit: Oh, Eomer has changed the Snoopy avatar back. Yay!

What do I win? Wasn't there a small disclaimer about winning something?

I wish I was a good artist to draw pictures, but I find it difficult to make anything artistic on paint.

The Only Real Estel · 09-15-2005, 08:07 AM

A quick WW 9 inspired Paint drawing, which I used for the first time. You'll have to full-view it, though...

Do you stalk me or something? That's an admirable likeness.

And I had little to work on... honest.

Egads, dancing spawn of ungoliant it's like looking in a mirror!

The Only Real Estel · 09-23-2005, 08:36 AM

Apoligies to the 'mystery BDer' for the attempt at a likeness, but, as usual, I plead no time.

Hopefully the general idea was gotten across well enough...

p.s. For some reason I can't even access deviantart from my home cpu anymore so I hope the link works well.

p.p.s. Fordim, I'm working on one of you but, well...time.

Morsul the Dark · 09-23-2005, 10:01 AM

The Only Real Estel · 09-23-2005, 12:40 PM

Glad to see that the link works...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 09-23-2005, 12:55 PM

Is it just me, or is the preening lad looking scarily reminiscent of a rather phantomic member here?

Glirdan · 09-23-2005, 02:03 PM

Yes, it does look like a rather well known person. *CoughPhantomCough*

Strange that you were the first to 'notice' this, Fea...

Which reminds me of another drawing I'm, er, working on right now.

By the way, just to clear things up, that is supposed to be Brad Pitt, not phantom. The title 'Pitt, Bloom, or Wormtounge' gives it away.

Although, I seem to remember Celebuial saying this of tp:

Quote:

Does anyone else think that The Phantom look's a bit like Brad Pitt?

So I guess I drew Pitt well enought that people, er...thought he was phantom.

(<--it's late, if that makes no sense you now know why)

The Only Real Estel · 09-23-2005, 10:53 PM

Sorry for the double post, but I did a real quick drawing of you, Fordim.

Er, I mean of a 'Mystery BDer'.

p.s. I seem to be having a bit of trouble with it, you may have to click on the picture to view it...

Apologies for the late factor.

I have been stiffled by illness, struck in artistically baffling predictions (that came true!!), and endured many more horribly enimatic medical experiments to bring forth this present to a beloved fellow member of the downs:
