Thread: The Laurelin Art Thread

B-because Isil told me to start it. Here, have a smelly hobbit granny to start what should be at least a hundred times more EPIC than the old tread!

wow really wow, this one is completelly new Lhas! I like it.

Nice, I shall have to insist that one or more o' the lads bring some Dwarf art this way too.

The old art thread had some really nice stuff in it, i hope the artists will repost them here.

MR hidden was it? he really made an impressive one.

I cannot await the new artworks from Laurelin's finest, to appear here!

But shall we also compile the old as well?

Its up to the artists of those pictures to post then imo.

Personally I'd rather see new art (of which I have none...) than have the complete old thread reposted. If the backup they're compiling on LotroComm works we'd at least have the old threads and image links preserved.

Looking forward to seeing Nimlith's new notebook pages

Love the Old Granny Hobbit.

A bit tempted myself to post a few sketches soon-ish, now that there isn't the 15 post thingy.

Hey that hobbit looks a bit like my character Metrodora. She's an old granny hobbit too.

Hello fellow artists in our new home!
So, for now I am just reposting older images there - Imlad Balchorth, Lansi-Ma (progress). I suppose that I will find some time to finish some newer pieces soon...

I hope Saelinen, Milawyn, Aearandir and many others will (re)post their stuff there too...

Good to see one of my favorite-threads up and go again.
Love the new drawing Lhasbelin

Keep up the good work

-Achy-

Figured I'd add my most recent work, even if it's pretty old by now. I will make some new stuff eventually, but I need to upgrade my machine first. The same one can be found on the Laurelin Archives site.



Ilaru, the ever cheerful *cough*.

Wow Mithi I didn't know that you were also an artist drawing and painting, *bows* really awesome work!

Good god. How did you do that?!

Thank you Isil, but I'm really not. I'm actually a self-professed talentless hack xD

Dvarlin, I use a program called Daz Studio. It's like Poser. You take the pre-made models, tweak to your hearts desire and hit the render button
It's a free program for those interested, but the models themselves cost.

Thanks! I'll be sure to give Daz a look.

I shall bring something in! I think I have two small drawings of dwarves.

Awww. Beautiful picture of Ilaru there! good job!!

For those who missed it, here is the video I created to promote our kinship and that has been online for a few days. Enjoy!

I shall see if I cannot show you some of the maps I have drawn of Moria; Not pictures of dwarves, mind you, but dwarven drawings, at the least.

A BIIIIIIG bump! Just wanted to share my latest artscreen ^^



Inspired by the Artwork from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

EDIT: Don't ask my why Gandalf is on the picture, he just ended up there But the rest of the characters in the picture are all there for a reason. Those who have seen me RP (and my RP stories) surely know why

The image still needs a bit of polishing up, but I'll do it when I have spare time on my hands.

*stands and claps*
stunning! All of you are very talented, well done.....but theres no masterpieces of a pie!!

My Ofelie, 3 hour quickie for daily practice Click for full size.

Continuing the good flow from codies' forums, I see. Keep them coming!
Bregir

:O I love your artwork Ofelie! She's so pretty!







I wouldn't consider the second one art, but eh :P

Oh Ofelie, I think I’m in love.

Fantastic work coming out folks!

Here is a promo video for the Anorian Guard kinsip, created by my cousin.

Anorian Guard dont exist anymore, but anyway the video is a piece of art, so i thought it worths to be seen

art comes in different shapes and forms. Is nice to see some welldone videos aswell

more camerashake!

Nice job, Milawyn, as usual.

Tuarwen: I must agree with Silaen there - more camerashakes and more cowbell! But good video anyway.

Art comes in many forms and it is wonderful to see it.
Keep up the good work!

And now for my little contribution. A poem, feedback welcomed *grin*

Woad Rage

I was asked to find some special woad whilst out Esteldin way,
"There's not much left, it got trampled" I heard the lady say
"We need it to support the coming war to dye the ranger's sashes"
"It makes identifying the dead much easier when sifting through the ashes"

How could I have refused her? when she explained their plight
I wanted to help the Rangers in their impending fight
So off I went a'venturing to help this lady bold
I went in the direction just as I was told.

"It grows around the trees and rocks out where the big beasts roam"
(apparently their droppings help improve the loam)
So I raced towards the nearest trees sprinting across the ground
I looked in all the crevasses but not a single plant was found

I turned and saw the problem I filled with anger and with fear
No wonder I couldn't find one half of Middle Earth was here
She's asked each and every stranger as they came through the gate
and they brought along their best friend, his brother and his mate.

The field was filled with people as far as the eye could see
Hobbits from Bywater, Dwarves... and Men from Bree
My temper began to rise and I couldn't help my self
when out from behind a pine tree stepped a smiling Elf

I hit him with my backpack then pounded with my fist
I went at him with fury he had no chance to resist
I flew into a frenzy and I admit I hit him well
and like a sack of taters, down that poor Elf fell

So that is why I'm sitting here, with a guard on either side
and telling you my story (with just a hint of pride)
It turns out the lady is a fraud and the woad will never see a sash
She's made a deal in Ered Luin and is raking in the cash

Oohh, now that was fun! And oh so true *sigh*

I'm not much of one for poetry, but I rather enjoyed that

This is just a simple one I did to get me back into the swing of things. It's been almost a year since I made one last

Great to see this thread make a return!

Awesome art work and creative work on view.. looking forward to seeing more

A big hello and thanks to all those posters on this thread. *And a big wave to all those from the thread's previous incarnation.*

It would be great to try and get this one a sticky!

Well here is some of my input. They are, for now, focussed around our Kin, but in time I hope to do more generic artwork of places and events.

Patrols along the routes between Imladris and Mithlond are a key part of what we do. Oftentimes this is done in secret, but a more open show of our presence is sometimes required.
