Silmarillion Artwork

Beor · 03-10-2004, 02:10 PM

Hey, I looked back through the Silmarillion forum, and through the Middle-earth forum for a thread that this could go in, and could find nothing, NOTHING!!!!!!!!

So, anyway, I have been looking for awhile, brousing the web for good JRR Tolkien inspired artwork, mainly stuff having to do with things in the Silmarillion, such as Doriath, and Gondolin, and Nargothrond, and such, but I cant seem to find anything. Most places only have stuff from Lord of the Rings, with very little Silmarillion artwork. If any of you know of a good art site that has the pictures of these things (but not limited to these things), please let me know, because I want to know, and dont know.

Thanks!

Also, if I missed the thread where this was (because i could have sworn there was one), just refer me to that thread and delete this one or whatever, I dont want to clutter the place.

Well, even if there is another thread, it would be pretty old. You may want to try Rolozo Tolkien's art gallery on the web. there is a ton of good art there. Ted Nasmith does a lot of artwork from the Silmarillion. I have the illustrated edition of the Sil by him, and it is simply beautiful.

I was actually just at the Rolozo and it wouldnt let my computer upload the images, saying that windows couldnt read them, which I assume means that my computer is retarded. Any ideas on what is going on? Also, thank you for the help (I was just going to PM you anyway, but I figured that others might be wondering too, so her it is)

EDIT: I just read the website, it says that the lawyers of the Tolkien estate asked him to remove the images. Dang!

Windows sucks so bad. Let me see if I can look around on the web and give you some links to some artwork.

Beor · 03-10-2004, 02:51 PM

Wait! Just found the Ted site, it is awesome! Is there anyway to enlarge the pictures, or is that all you get. I am here

Which, by the way, might be the same link you posted, which I did not see until just now. Sorry, the

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 03-10-2004, 02:52 PM

Try this. I'm not sure if this link will work for you since it was found through an aol search.

Yep, Nasmith does some great work. I don't know about enlarging the pics. Sorry.

Beor · 03-10-2004, 02:59 PM

Yeah, that guy had some skill. Well, I cant find out how to enlarge them, but AOL is trudging though the things for me, and is working fine. Thank you, and if you find anything else, and if I find what I am looking for, I will post the link, so others can check it out.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 03-10-2004, 03:02 PM

That will be great Beor. Btw, since we are dealing with Silmarillion artwork more than anything here, I'm going to go ahead and move this thread to the Sil forum.

Beor · 03-10-2004, 03:06 PM

right, sorry, I guess that whole thing slipped my mind, which seems to be happening alot lately.

Oh, and you liked the "chillin'" thing, huh.

Artanis · 03-10-2004, 03:10 PM

Personally I'm very fond of Katherine Karina Chmiel's pics. They are also on Rolozo. Most of her pics are LotR-related, but recently she has done a few good motives from the Sil.

Yes, very cool how your words made the story more loose and carefree. 'chillin' and 'pissed off'

Beor · 03-10-2004, 03:14 PM

Cool, I'll check em out. There is a ton of images here, and I finally got them to work.

I dont think anyone posted the link, so here it is, and if it is redundant....Bwahahahahahaha

Rolozo!

Dang! It is redundant!

Nerdanel · 03-10-2004, 05:28 PM

Wow! Thanks for the links; the art is wonderful. Absolutely awesome. I didn't know that's possible! Wow.

Beor · 03-11-2004, 07:28 AM

Indeed, Nerdanel, it is awesome! And Rolozo works really good once one accepts the fact that he is a monkey, a monkey who knows how to do only basic stuff on the internet. Me trying to figure out how to use that easy to navagate place was like watching the apes on 2001: A Space Odessy figure out the wheel or whatever.

EDIT: Check it out, Turin looks like Jimmy Page !

For you fellow Nasmith-fans!

Beor · 03-11-2004, 02:34 PM

That Ted site is really good, Falagar.

Nerdanel · 03-11-2004, 06:04 PM

Thanks, Falagar!

Even my younger brother was amazed; and he doesn't care at all about art.

***Earniel*** · 03-12-2004, 09:43 AM

www.elfwood.com has got some nice Tolkien drawings, even though they're nearly all done by amateur artists. But since the site is huge, you better use the search engine or you're still be looking here next year. (I speak from experience) When I typed silmarillion in the search function, I found quite a few silmarillion drawings. Not as good as those of Nasmith and the others but good enough too.

Beor · 03-12-2004, 04:16 PM

Thanks for more links! I wont be able to check it out tonight, but I'll peruse it tomorrow. I appriciate it, everyone.
