"Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, “He can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man”, or “That’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock.” Just."

...AND SPEAKING OF FANART...

..."are you going to bury me?" - the 2378th attempt.

I just can't find any reference photos, so all I do here is guesswork regarding the poses. Merry's arms still look awkward. Duh. (And yes they DON'T look like the movie characters I know :o) )

One of these days I'm going to get it right. Watch me.

Heeeh thank you :o) The drawing's far from perfect though... that was the third attempt I think. It's so hard without a reference photo...

Nope, there has to be talent from the beginning, and not everybody have a talent for drawing or painting.

See that's different from what I think. I believe there is no such thing as talent...not really. I think it all depends on how much you practise, how much effort you put into something and how clever you are...I'm one of those persons who believe you can learn anything if you just put your mind onto something... *shrug*

Some things perhaps - but not all. Think of acting or singing - I can't possibly ever imagine Britney Spears or Jennifer Lopez becoming good actresses, or Evangeline Lilly for that (sorry - just had to get her in there!).

Heeeh I'll let you off! :o)

See I think if they were perhaps practising more then they could become decent actresses.

I'm not talking about outstanding performances in either acting/singing/drawing... but everyone can become fairly decent on these things and that's all I am - decent... got nothing to do with talent even though my Nan insists I inherited my grandfather's skills :o)

I think acting is one of the few arts practising won't help on, mainly because it's so diverse and keeps changiung - and demands the same form the actress/actor. Also, these women getting practise ?= more time on screen/tv = annoying me. Not good. They can just fuck off and keep away from tv and movies, mmkay?

I believe you might get decent, or close to, at drawing, painting etc, by practicing, but you need more than that to succeed, just like the three women need more than they have to be big actresses. Looks don't count as talent.

And decent? Wtf are you on about? Your nan's right!

They could practise with a tutor you know ;o)

but you need more than that to succeed,

True. But what I can do, everybody can. Really :o)

And decent? Wtf are you on about? Your nan's right!

Eh, tutor's wouldn't be good enough for them, and besides, they'd probably claim that only 'the real thing' would be good enough.

I'm still with your nan. Not everybody can do what you can do!
