Tolkien Art Challenge thingie

Mar 05, 2010 20:52

The Tolkien art club over at DeviantArt is running a contest which requires a character from the books who was left out of movie. I'm not sure I'll have time, but if I did...any suggestion on which character you'd like to see?

Glorfindel of Imaldris.
I absolutely loved him. He was the one who battled the Wraith at the river, not Arwen.
He also met the Hobbits on their trip to meet Gandalf.

"Glorfindel was tall and straight; his hair was of shining gold, his face fair and young and fearless and full of joy; his eyes were bright and keen, and his voice like music; on his brow sat wisdom, and in his hand was strength."
FOTR

He was one of the most amazing elves in LOTR.

That a second vote for Glorfindel and zero for anyone else. Thanks! :)

OK, Glorfindel would be a great one to do, but the twins are also a favorite of mine. :) One twin would do. ;)

Elrond's twins??

Yep. I wrote a lot with both Elrohir and Elladan in my stories, so I have a soft spot for them. Elrohir definitely took over several scenes, so he became my favorite, but I do like them both.

I love the twins and there are some terrific pieces of ff involving the twins, Aragorn and Legolas.
I started reading ff with LOTR....Never knew it existed till I happen to query search for Aragorn and Legolas and there was the site and it fed all my needs.
I even wrote a piece which I never posted, but meant to.
It takes place following Amon Hen, only in my piece Boromir survives...It is up to Legolas to return to Lothlorien for help as both Boromir and Aragorn are severely wounded as a result of encountering the Orcs. Gimli stays behind to take care of them.
I have written quite a bit and am sometimes tempted to post it on LJ and ff.net

I keep hoping they will:

1)make The Simarillion
and
2)make a bridge between The Hobbit and FOTR......dying to see something about Aragorn and Legolas. It was obvious at the council they knew each other.......

BTW, I went over to DeviantArt but could not find a Tolkien link
