Interested Artists!

[dreamflower02]

This is NOT an artist sign-up. That post will take place later, when we have some stories for the artists to work with. This is to get an idea of how many artists might be interested in taking part

I might like to participate illustrating scenes with photos of LotR dolls in appropriate settings, or even the traditional way with pen and ink if I get time and inspiration. (-:

Oh fun! I am sure that would be a great way to illustrate a story!

I'd love to take part in the future :) I tend to change styles depending on whats suited to the story, but I do have a general overall 'style' of exaggerating expressions and focusing on body language (a little cartoony and emotional). Since this is a middle-earth setting, I'd probably add illumination/borders and give it a 'historical' touch, adding in bits of visual culture from saxon/medieval English art :)

You can see my art here, my work is very stylised, so I'm sure you'd have to see my art before pairing up with a writer, since my work isnt to everyone's taste!!

Hi, I'm here via Middle-Earth News. I haven't been involved in this fandom in a *long* time, but this sounds like something I'd be interested in. Unfortunately, I am not tech savvy at all, and my skill set is pretty much straight up, old-school, drawing and painting, so I'm not sure if I'm qualified for this.

Here is a little drawing I did for a LOTR story once:

And here is some of my other stuff on Photobucket:

Those are lovely drawings. The pic of the hobbits is so poignant!

Hello! A friend of mine told me about this. I'm a traditional artist, and I would love to be a part of this!

I only have one piece of Lord of the Rings fan art posted (It's old and a little cartoony): http://skuldnevermore.deviantart.com/art/Samwise-and-Rosie-Gamgee-151183094

Anyways here's a link to my Deviantart Gallery: http://skuldnevermore.deviantart.com/

Aww...your Sam/Rosie was cute! We'd love to have you aboard! Keep your eyes open for the official sign-up post, once the stories are underway!

Not a traditional artist but I can do photography (live on edges of Yorkshire Dales), and to a level computer work - banners, icons, wallpapers mainly. Also have done calligraphy in the past, and still do cross stitch. Was considering signing up as author but decided schedule will not allow that, but should allow artist work.

[dreamflower02]

Art of every kind will be welcome! I'm a calligrapher myself, and I think that would be great (especially if an author wanted an illustration of a "document") and I love the idea of including photos of needlework as well!
