Oh my. XD He would make an interesting centaur. I like it.

*applause*

Rereading Narnia is the ultimate cure for boredom.

@freed_and_redeemed

Thanks! 🙂 It was fun to draw.

@whalekeeper

I can see how someone would feel that way. I’ve never had trouble keeping my mental images separate from movies. It must depend on the person lol.

That would be nice. XD It’s annoying to have different versions of characters competing for attention. I can usually keep them s…[Read more]

Here it is!

In which Aenwest gets lost inside her head, and dwarves need manners

Chapter 2

Travenor walked quickly. I scurried through the woods behind him, feeling remarkably like a squirrel trailing an elk. Sunlight streamed down through the leaves around me, creating a world of green and gold. Birds sang above us…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Aaiii! Save us, it’s a film lover!

*Strangled gasp of horror*

Just kidding. I do understand that, and I have heard of some fantastic things they did with the adaptions, including splendid character interactions and even deviations from the books that actually made the plot more family friendly. Like cutting out the barrow…[Read more]

*applause*

Gentle warriors for the win! I am now inspired to write better representations of gentleness, purpose, and grief. We need unique turns on these topics.

 I think one of the reasons their story is cut is because it’s a story that speaks to more sensitive people. Aragorn looks cool on screen to everyone, and ev…

@mineralizedwritings

Excactly! It’s so sweet, but not sugary sweet, you know? If it’s not in there, then half her character is left out (the real Eowyn, in fact) It’s a neat turn on illustrating healing and hope that really brings a lot of light into the story. 🙂

I think it’s my second time to read/listen to the Return of the King. I read the…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Yes! We just listened to the chapter with him and Eowyn, and I just kept crying and laughing.

*Insert a five page essay on sorrow and love and joy and how they are not mutually exclusive*

*Insert random squeaking noises of happiness*

Yeah… Aragorn/Strider is one of the reasons Faramir is not my only favorite. 😉

@mineralizedwritings

Aw, thank you! 😁 It’s your favorite? O.O I feel like I was just handed a medal.

The photo quality kinda softened his face, but I still agree. He’s such a fun character. He’s almost as much a walking paradox as Aragorn. XD

@ellette-giselle

Thank you! I’m glad you like it. 🙂 It was fun to try to draw from my head, although I ended up needing reference pictures for his eyes because he kept looking scared. XD And Faramir should not be scared.

@keilah-h

Thank you! Yes, he is described in the book as Westernese: tall, raven-black haired, grey eyed, and noble of…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle @freed_and_redeemed

Well, it’s been a while since I shared any art, but the recent LotR discussions inspired to try my hand at one of the few characters I pictured vividly.

Meet the Ranger Faramir as I met him. (Although the photo quality is bad. Sorry.)

@ellette-giselle

That’s a perfect illustration of their relationship. XD

You draw horses so well! I lost my courage for horses a while ago. They’re so big! XD Anyway, Tug is beautiful.

@ellette-giselle

I know!!! And it doesn’t make any sense why not, unless they just wanted to emphasize a smaller circle of awesome characters.

And if they wanted a sweet, visible romance, Faramir and Eowyn are so incredibly perfect. We just listened to that part last night and I was half laughing half crying. But maybe it’s a mercy because they…[Read more]

Also….

Leon is oddly like Samwise.(Or at least, last I knew of him he was.) While their plotlines are pretty completely different, they have similar strength and weaknesses. Both react in anger when those love are threatened, and both struggle with hopelessness, unbelief, and selfishness. The difference is in direction. Leon lets his hurt and…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh, funsies!

This is a great idea! XD Unfortunately, your characters are actually pretty unique, so finding a match here will take a bit.

@ellette-giselle

Faramir and Beregond! My sister and I have been re-read/listening to the trilogy again and I had forgotten how much I liked Beregond. Ever noticed the illustration of…[Read more]

Leo

Leo was about to lead the way down the hall, when, with a flurry of wings Hunter appeared beside them.

Which nearly got the kid slammed by Rory, who waved instead. Strange, but then this place tended to put himself on edge, so…

For a moment the boy was lost somewhere else. Seeing something else. Then…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh my. Those are stupendous. XD

@ellette-giselle

I just knew he was doomed…

Sorry y’all. II had homework ambush me. I’ll try to write an RP now.

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @calyhuge

I’m with Whaley. My current characters don’t tend to fight unless they have a personal reason for it (besides the fact that a real fight could put Leo out of his job and *backstory*)
