Ok, I see what you mean, but I don't feel like that myself. It would be different if the artist said: I do these pics because Tolkien intended Maitimo and Findekáno to be gay. THAT would be and indeed.

I was just about to say that. You see, Valandil, take R*an for example, now her I can handle with ease but the Queen of Annuminas herself and three princelings is just too much for this Sea Elf.

a girl fight, you want, haha... I think I'm still too new here to really do something like that And from what I've read here so far, SGH has a lot of experience, haha... (I just joined yesterday, or maybe today...it was, like, 1 in the morning or something)... Oh... soon enough, though, I suppose...

and I've been getting ideas for about five years...

What! I'm only 18... any earlier and that would have been wrong at so many more levels than it already is

I really need to read the Sil again... then I'll talk about you. But I'm a little afraid of the High Queen of Annuminas...

Thank you, and yeah, I do. I ate lunch with a friend and her friend a couple days ago, and somehow *hint* *hint* the topic wheeled around to the Silmarillion... and I had a fun time watching my friend butcher an explanation of the Two Trees...

Yeah. I realised annoying friends who didn't care was not the best idea. So now I can annoy people who do!

Oh, another Sil hottie - Glorfindel! Even tho I don't like blondies in general, Glorfindel's super studliness and just - I don't know, his "aura", I guess, from LOTR - overcomes his blondness - he rocks!! I love how he just tosses off that little line "Three of the servants of Sauron were upon the Bridge, but they withdrew [from my super studliness] and I pursued them westward. I came also upon two others, but they turned away southward." Then of course he shows his "sensitive" side (a requirement with me - see Tuor and his harp) by his very gentle and skillful treatment of Frodo. And he's a man who knows what he wants and gives his all to get it - also a requirement with me (and what he wants has to be good, btw) - no wishy-washy guys for me!

Also Ecthelion - the "fairest of the Noldoli" (hmm, seems like there's several of those!). I like his "well, if the only way to take you out, Gothmog, is to die myself, then I'm taking you with me!" attitude.

I like blondes... can't you tell? And Glorfindel was my favourite until I read the Silm... haha... I don't like hobbits all that much, and didn't actually get obsessed with LotR until Glorfindel came into it (and then left about as quickly )... Still, after that, it was all over. I could barely put the book down.

Here's a more traditional pic of Fingon and Maedhros - I like the expressions on both of their faces, altho I don't like Fingon's ears ... Maedhros is just exhaustion and total trust in his friend because he can't do anything himself; Fingon is "ok, I got him, NOW what - we're not out of the woods yet!" I like how Fingon's hair has the gold plaits, and I like Maedhros' hair, but I wish it was longer - as one comment read, how could he have short hair after 50 years?

I love Jenny Dolfen's pictures...I've got a couple on my dorm room wall (some the only non-anime pictures in the room - wow...I so don't look forward to tearing this thing down at the end of the year )

She really likes drawing him with short hair...

Okay... this theory is really pushing it, but a possible explanation...

Many studies indicate that the vast majority of people DO NOT get adequate and proper nutrition for the body to operate at it's peak.
To put it mildly, I doubt he was eating all that much...

So I suppose Morgoth gave Maedhros a buzz cut right before he hung him up, just to embarass him, and what with not eating and things, his hair just never grew

I really like the Jenny Dolfin pic. Now that's how artists should draw Elves, even Maedhros.
