"You lot. You spend all your time thinking about dying, like you're going to get killed by eggs, or beef, or global warming, or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible. Like maybe you survive."

~Mark Twain

"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."

Artsy stuff - LOTR!

Last May I provided myself with a deviantART account but never used it. Today I got so fed up with photobucket not cooperating with my LJ that I decided to upload at least some drawings to deviantART instead.

So, those who requested Varda, Nienna, an amused Gandalf and Beren & Luthien, you can see the drawings here: http://pilgrin.deviantart.com/ :o) I'll try to post the rest of the drawings here, though.

I'm still not too happy with my style, it's too Disney-ish (after I spent months trying to GET to the Disney style, now I don't like it :p ) but I'm getting better on poses, proportions and hands. Yay!

Then I went all crazy and tried to get an Elfwood account - may only take an age or two til the ticket is through ^^

And, finally, a teaser ;o) It's Varda, as requested by

Wow, I love these. They're all great. I love Gandalf's expression, and I like that Luthien looks just a tiny bit like Liv-Arwen. And Varda is so pretty. *hearts*

Thank you - so glad you like :o)

I love Gandalf's expression,

Me, too actually. It hardly ever happens that I just draw and everything is right. It was the case with Gandalf here so that's why I really like that drawing :o)

and I like that Luthien looks just a tiny bit like Liv-Arwen

She does actually, doesn't she? :o)

By the way, I heart YOUR icon :o)

Love all of them, but especially Gandalf! You should upload more, your Hobbit-pics for example (and perhaps Rya?)

Oh, right, the hobbity ones. And Rya :o) I just - dunno whether they're good enough :o)

They're all lovely, my dear - Varda is beautiful! And I love the one of Beren and Luthien - it's really atmospheric.

A wonderful Varda. I love her dress! And I like all the pics you uploaded to DevArt. Rya should appear there. Definitely.

*squeeees* I can't believe my suggestions turned into works of art!

Did you know you can open a DevientART shop? And you can sell prints through that? *hinthint* Or at least I'm sure that was possible before... hmmm

I think Nienna and Gandalf are my favourites :)I think Nienna could do with some Merrypippinising though...Cheer her up a bit.

Sure they did! :o) I also did a drawing of Sam and Bill but I don't like it that much :o)
I really like the Gandalf, though, I'm SO glad you suggested it :o)

Yes, I know you can but I don't think anyone would want to buy anything - yet :O)
