(the link I posted was a joke site - it shows some classic art pieces but retitles them with LOTR names! )

Yeah - they're cute - I believe Boromir could have been exactly like that as a boy.

To complete the similarity with C&H, he needs an imaginary friend... perhaps a bear, or eagle or oliphant. Unless his little brother fills that role (as it seems he might).

Wow! They apparently don't let just anyone post work there. Hmmm... maybe I could try to do something half serious and try to post it here at Entmoot at least.

Oh my gosh, I love the picture of Boromir and Faramir and their sword fighting lesson! There are a lot of pictures at Rolozzo I don't like, but there are a lot I can't take my eyes off too.
I love your link too, RÃ*an. Really great. And Val, please do. I just finished a sketch of Caranthir. Somewhere along the line it ended up looking really girly. |

I have just found a wonderful artist -Ebe Kastein.
She has breathtakingly beautiful pictures of Elves. I was smitten (which is amazing, considering I am not at all fond of elves). http://www.warofthering.net/gallery/....php?album=342 Sorry if someone has posted the link before - I admit I was too lazy to read all this thread |

Wow! Awesome site, CrazySquirrel. I'm always on the lookout for Tolkien-related artwork - these are really beautiful.

Yes, aren't they?
Especially Aredel... And Some Haldirs are also much better than in the movie, though certainly they are movie-verse. And Erlond, hopefully is not. Frodo looks like a saint... I am glad, Lotesse that you liked the site. |

Me too, Katya. As much as I liked the movies, I don't want those pictures to be what's in my head as I read the books. I like to see a lot of interpretations because then I don't get tied down to only one way of picturing something/someone. The movies have tended to obliterate the way I used to picture the books.

Another way I can help separate the movie images from my own I just invented: I do not say "Legolas said __" or "Frodo did ___". I say "Orlando Bloom" or "Elijah Wood." I also say "Peter Jackson's films", very Macbeth-esque. It works quite well.
I stumbled across this site when I was looking for pictures of Dante (the real-life poet, not the Dante from Devil May Cry). It has some LotR pictures, and some from DMC as well. There's also a section which I think has some other artist's works, and a section on Tolkien himself with pics of him. It's all in Spanish, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much of it I understood. http://www.laurelindorenan.com/Dibujos.htm The midi playing in the background on that page has me under a spell.

But the pictures ARE beautiful! Pity that the artist uses PJ's film characters instead of letting her own imagination fly. |

I've seen her gallery on Elfwood, she is indeed very good. I didn't know she had her own site, though. So thanks for the link!

She's the only artist I've ever seen who draws my boys - er - I mean, the Sons of Fëanor exactly like they are in my head.
