this is so good. I’m happy to see some art in here too, and this is just like Faramir was described in book. Love it. Glad to see some people still posts in here.

Lovely drawing, Raven! You really captured it all, Gondor, Denethor, and Faramir. Wow!

Oops, sorry for letting you wait! For some reason I didn´t get a notification for your comment… Anyway, thank you so much! I must admit I took some freedom regarding the decoration of the sarcophagus – but then again, it can´t be ALL white trees!

Éomer x Faramir (PG)

By comuto

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


I believe that their relationship after the events of book could develop into very strong and deep and that this ship is very interesting as well for being complicated.
ps
I don’t like that there’s a strong opinion established that this pairing can only be possible in au or before the events of LotR.
It is possible wherever, I’m confident in it:)

Thank you so much for sharing this here!
I really love how you’ve drawn these two. Those smouldering looks!
(And er.. maybe it’s just my dirty mind or too many years on this site, but I can’t help but imagine they’re just seconds away from ripping each other’s clothes off…)

Wow! That’s a heck of a talent you’ve got there. Kinda makes me wish it was nearly my birthday. Lol. Much kudos.

— pornell_fangirl    Tuesday 10 September 2013, 14:40    #

Dude! That´s marvellous! So much expression with only one colour! The light is pure magic and for some reason Faramir´s hair makes me want to bury my fingers in it… Agree to Pornell_Fangirl – though I haven´t decided yet if I´d rather be Frodo or simply stare at them for the next four hours. :P

To : pornell_fangirl
Thank you very much. I’m very glad you like my drawing. This picture I drawn about 8-9years ago.

To : raven22372
Thank you very much. Faramir hair was very enjoyable thing to draw _
I’m happy you like this.

Thank you both for comments.

Colour rendition of earlier work by the same name.

Our boy just got a revamp!

Parts of this are still sketch-style, but oh well, that’s the best he’s getting from me for the time being.

Enjoy! :)

Oh oh oh, I remember that! :D You added colour and made it look like a painting on a precious vase or a mural, like the one of Isíldur in Rivendell..! How did you… watercolour? Pencils… ah, no,i t´s Photoshop, right? Dude, I envy everybody able to paint in Photoshop! Particularly when said people are able to get skin colours right… my goodness.. exquisite lividity, gloves and THAT mouth..! Let´s hope is IS no mural, otherwise people would constantly be found pressing their lips against the wall…

And then the little highlights, green leaves and a glitter of gold… not too obvious, of course, because as a ranger he has to blend in with the background – a background you used perfectly to accomplish a flawless arrangement of colours. Well done, dear! When, err, do you think the muralist can start working..?

Sometimes Faramir does work too much. Good to know his King will be there for a distraction (though not necessarily a politically correct one).

Somehow inspired by Eora, though I couldn’t determine when or where now. this was sitting on my motherboard for weeks – sorry, mate!

Lovely! (and I have a board for over the bath just like that… and a duckie... doesn't everyone?!? ;))

Iris    Monday 15 July 2013, 20:35    #

Have you? Aaaaaaaw! (envy!) I always wanted one, for my books – Err, by the way, did you ever happen to find any reading Faramirs in your tub? No? Too bad, I had high hopes of that board!

No ducky in my household, though! :( Which, I agree is an intolerable lack!

— raven22372    Monday 15 July 2013, 23:52    #

Ohhh… how lovely! Lucky Fara:) and I do love the detailing in the ducky !

minx    Saturday 20 July 2013, 12:10    #

I`m not quite sure he´ll appreciate his king´s efforts… X) Thank you, Minx! Now the ducky´s got so much credit I could swear it´s about to develop a personality of its own!

— raven22372    Saturday 20 July 2013, 20:50    #

I liked this! Thank you for drawing and sharing.

— Susana    Monday 30 July 2018, 2:42    #

Thank you so much! So glad this little fic is still around! :)

I love Faramir, definitely my favourite character on LORT.
I’m writing a fic (angst/romance) about him and Boromir, so I decided to make an image cover for it. :)

What a wonderful work! One can almost feel the softness of the lips… tender, wet lips… (drools)

Errr… what I was going to say was: The, err, embroidery, yes! The embroidery on the collar is such a lovely little detail! And the same counts for the veins on the back of Boromir´s hand! Very, err, artistic! You´re a great talent!

Illustration for Minx, the lovely author of Grief and Hope because she asked for it (without knowing what it would be she might get). I`m afraid I altered the scene more than a little – sometimes during the process the scenery begins to sprout and I let it have its way. Also, meanwhile it seems to me that it is almost too cluttered. Perhaps I should start considering a different format. Bayeux Tapestry would be an interesting alternative…

Thank you! I´m glad you like it, even though I grabbed the artistic license and ran away with it!

— raven22372    Saturday 8 June 2013, 12:09    #

Massive snicker. This is just so witty in so many ways. The crown hanging casually on the bed post. The finger raised in half-hearted objection. The archer in the grate, the tapestry – these are so cheeky, they are like, look at us, we are important, and I’m like, sorry guys, you are being outshined.

— December    Sunday 1 September 2013, 0:23    #

My goodness, you truly, literally, noticed ALL the details in the background, even the tapestry and the archer! I´m stunned, next time I´ll start to produce busy pictures, themed “Find the little white mouse and the four Hobbits hiding in there”!

But seriously, once you get into medieval architecture and art, there´s so much to discover, so many things one can use to create atmosphere… meanwhile I´m convinced that the biggest part of creating whatever is the research, not the work itself!

This – is – incredible!
Okay, I admit I had to blow it up (old eyes are getting older) but my oh my such details! Totally loved the back banners and you did all that work on the floor. But then the two central figures – With a few lines you’ve caught the formality, the loyalty and the love.
Thank you so much for remembering to post this up! You rawk! :)

— MikoNoNyte    Wednesday 24 April 2013, 18:15    #

Oh no, I´m sorry… unfortunately LJ doesn´t link to a larger picture anymore. Or maybe I need to upload it to the scrapbook first… I wonder what was wrong with the old concept? X(

Thank you, dear! :D Heehee, the banners were fun – even though I have no idea how long they´re supposed to be in reality. However, according to what I´ve read the Bayeux Tapestry is about 70 metres (229 ft) long, so I think I´m still on the decent side! XD

— raven22372    Thursday 25 April 2013, 21:53    #

Beautiful! I especially love the beautiful (yes, I repeat myself) pattern on the column and the sword barely to be seen at the waist and under the cloak. Thanks a lot!

— Nerey Camille    Monday 29 April 2013, 12:56    #

Heehee, don´t worry repeating yourself..! (bathes in compliment) Thanks to you! Since I´m a terribly lazy drawer, it´s very encouraging to know that even tiny details get noticed. I haven´t thought anybody would even see that half invisible sword tip!

— raven22372    Wednesday 1 May 2013, 13:41    #

Oh, yes, do bathe in the compliment, you mistress of drawing and goddess of fanart! My poor compliment hardly does justice to the greatness of your skill. kneels in worshipful awe
No, seriously, keep it up!

— Nerey Camille    Thursday 2 May 2013, 22:57    #

Please excuse my late reply! I´m just back from a short holiday and delighted to find your answer… but I implore you: do get up, my friend, and kneel no more before her who does not deserve it! Your words hold certainly more magic than my scribbling does – even though I must say that it does my heart good and make my want to send for the bath foam. Now, where´s my rubberducky…?

— raven22372    Thursday 9 May 2013, 21:11    #

I think this is just epic!
It has this true mediaeval/arthurian feel. Maybe because of the light, or the composition, or the whole kneeling thing… Can’t put my finger on it. But the whole image just radiates significance, and gravity, and a kind of holiness if you will.

I think this is really well done. And especially nice seeing this come from you as it’s a bit of a foray into a different territory from many of your other works. Always so exciting to see an artist explore new directions :)

— December    Sunday 1 September 2013, 0:27    #

Woohooo, you´re back! Wheel in the casks, prepare the skewers, call the jugglers! Welcome back, friend! Sit down, have a cup of wine and tell us about your multifarious adventures in foreign lands under strange moons!

Thank you so much! Arthurian… why yes, now that you mentioned it I think that was indeed the image behind. And holiness… DUH, I like that! :D There´s always a little bit of it in the really great tales, isn´t it? The ones with people ´taking leave´ instead of ´saying goodbye´… please excuse me, I´m a little overexcited this morning…

(Besides, it´s the kneeling thing. Don´t hold back! It´s your soft spot for devotion speaking here… ;) )

The Comfort of Sleep (PG-13)

By Raven22372

If a picture could be a sequel to a tale, this one would continue the story of Not You, the first of the very few fics I posted here.
After an incident like that, who would be there for comfort if not a brother – and the shielding cloak of night.

Okay, how I missed this… Dark, brooding, almost see the rain outside the window which, while it’s not necessary (since it’s not there) it was a mental punctuation I added. LOL I always seem to spend long minutes perusing your details: the background, the shimmer of light on the drinking glasses, the mysterious figure (or is that a doorway?) hanging about on the balcony outside the window. Curtains, bedding, the feel of movement with pencil strokes there and not there. If only I could tell a story half as well as you draw one!

— MikoNoNyte    Wednesday 24 April 2013, 20:40    #

My dear Frodo MikoNoNyte, how can I thank you? I dare say that it´s now the fifth – sixth? – time that I read through your comment, each time with the same result: A widescreen Gollum grin (though with more teeth) and a collision with the ceiling (since all the praise made me grow to Ent size). And may I furthermore say that I wish I could write a story half as well as you do? Words, they flee me once I approach…

Yes, it was meant to be a figure (though now that you mentioned it I must admit it could have easily been both). I thought of Denethor standing on his balcony all alone, feeling his power slipping throught his fingers… That´s why the rain would indeed be an exquisite side note… >:)

— raven22372    Thursday 25 April 2013, 21:40    #

Sleep right? Because that’s what they’ve been doing, that’s exactly how you lie down when you are planning to sleep :))

Anywaaaaaaaay. I really do like this. I think your compositions have over time become a very strong feature of your work in terms of adding meaning and intensity. And I love the thoughtfulness here, it invites us to think what exactly is going through Boromir’s mind and what had preceded the current scene.

Thanks for sharing!

— December    Sunday 1 September 2013, 0:20    #

Why, of course, I do! :) Just that I mostly wake up with a stiff neck and my arm having fallen asleep. Which is probably exactly what will happen in this case, plus a dislocated vertebrae and two legs fallen asleep on Boromir´s side…

But really, this is possible the nicest compliment you could pay me! Knowing that your abilities develop, that there´s a progress, a movement forward… there´s nothing better you could tell a wannabee-artist! Be blessed, dear December! May your shadow never shorten!

Crikey, you´were busy! And you´re skilled! I love the colours, especially the slight golden shine in Faramir´s hair. And the waterfall in the background – water can be such a tricky thing and you captured its motion and the flow direction very well!

What an enchanting scenery! Of course there´s a book involved… I can basically see Faramir enthuse his companion for ancient lore – even though Haldir´s original intentions might have been completely different! X)

Hmmm… I´d say the left one, for the golden brown tone spreads warmth and and makes their affection for each other palpable. So you´re in both digital and traditional art? Wow, you´re an allround talent!

Éowyn and her men (G)

I love Eowyn, who doesn’t ? Just practicing my lack of skills at portraits on her and the two men in her life. I love her relationship with Eomer, she’s the only one who can make her brother cry.

Beautiful! You really have a talent with faces and face expressions! My most favourite spot (if one can call it like that) is Éomer´s mistrustful eyebrow! giggles*

— raven22372    Monday 18 March 2013, 21:08    #

Yes indeed. You’re skilled with eyes! The way Éowyn looks at you makes her appear cheeky and kind of a trouble-maker (with her smile and all) while Faramir’s lost gaze seems to look at something beyond our perception and thus enhances the depth and pureness of his soul. Thanks!

Look, now, here I really must protest! Here I am, a great deal of the way through writing a story to accompany your delightfully inspiring coronation painting and you bombard me with this extremely distracting sketch! I really must put my foot down and say no, no, I can’t possibly, I’m not even going to look at the dimples on their bums, or the squiggle on the parchment which tells me this was a rather hasty arrangement, one borne of a ‘oh bugger the paperwork and get over here now (and bugger me)’ mentality. Nope! Certainly not going to study the king’s clenched fists on the table, nor his arched back, or the expression of a rather deep satisfaction on his face, nor Faramir’s hand on his shoulder, not even the other hand adjusting his shirt, no, no, no.

What I will look at, and therefore prevent myself from getting 100 ideas at once, is the architecture! I love the arches in the background, I can’t decide whether this is in Aragorn’s spacious but private study, or if they are taking a liberty in a more public office. The hint of the mountains beyond the balcony is so lovely as well, they bring so much depth. It seems, my dear, that you are just as skilled with the pencil as you are with watercolours, and therein lies another reason for my frustration– how on earth can I hope to match that skill with mere words on a page? A losing battle I fear, but one which I will valiantly continue, despite certain, possibly deliberate, diversions…:P

And now a less tongue-in-cheek addendum: thank you thank you, for naming me as inspiration and boggling my mind– how my ramblings could inspire such a lovely piece I do not know!

— Eora    Sunday 27 January 2013, 11:57    #

Oh holy Hannah!
Raven, you’ve done it again!
First off, I just love this picture, hands down!
There’s great architecture, faint, but letting the eyes pause and then bang! Sharp, dark contrast with our two figures. … Pardon me while I howl at the moon for a moment. Woof!
This is very hot without showing a whole lot of anything and that’s a good thing imho.
I’m drawn to Faramir’s arms, so strong, and rigid; must be better that getting a whipping – certainly more pleasurable.
You’ve blown my mind yet again!

— MikoNoNyte    Sunday 27 January 2013, 19:32    #

Ooh, ooh. I must say something. But first I must fan myself.

Well… I just love all the characterisation granted by the detail. They seem steady and familiar in their exchange, Faramir’s arm slung over Aragorn’s shoulder in a kind of companionable, almost brotherly way. There is something casual about it, something secure and relaxed, you can tell they do this on a regular basis and have no fear they might have to stop. Yet at the same time that sheet of paper with an ink splodge and trail on it quite clearly entail the King being scooped up and de-trousered pretty much right in the middle of writing. It speaks great passion that does not wane in the face of stability and security. It also shows their deep trust in each other, that they know each other well enough for Faramir to know that Aragorn will not perceive such interruption to his work as intrusive or disrespectful, and that Aragorn in turn trusts him enough to allow himself to give in so quickly and with such obvious enjoyment, and not worry that Faramir might think him loose or soft-willed for it.

So this tells us that what is at first glance a matter-of-fact shag against the table is in fact something that goes much deeper, both in terms of time and emotion.

December    Sunday 27 January 2013, 22:46    #

Depends on the whipping, if I dare say – HURR HURR HURR. X)

Thank you, my dear! (hugs)! I wasn´even aware it works this way. Somehow the way we read (from left to right) must influence the way we look at a picture and so the perception is this: Arch, balcony, table, PORN, arch… Me thinks I like! XD

And I´m glad you like my proneness for muscles… ;) Anatomy is such an intriguing thing and meanwhile I love giving human bodies a bit of texture and, if that makes any sense, density.

Have no fear, modern medicine will doubtlessly reassure you that a good, healthy howl at the moon does you good and extends life! Speaking of it: the moon looks quite pretty tonight, doesn´t it? Would you be so kind and move over a little? Thank you… WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

— raven22372    Monday 28 January 2013, 23:58    #

Well, I guess a normal person would read it left-to-right. The way I read it though was: PORN, PORN, OMG PORN, Raven’s portfolio on the table (probably full of porn), PORN, little bird – screw the bird, why look at him when there is PORN to look at?

AARGH ARGH ARGH Stupid me! X( Sorry guys, I kinda didn´t realize that in a row of comments I cannot reply to every single one. I say, after almost, well, – two years? – that´s quite an eye-opener! Yes, I was always a bright little snowflake! XD

Okay, let´s try to sort this out. Actually my upper comment (that is the fourth on this site) was aiming to MikoNoNyte, whereas the following one goes to (opens letter) EORA! :D

So, my dear, know then that I was faaaaaaaar away of – hurr hurr – distracting you from work! Even though said distraction resulted in the sweetest description of the depicted scenery (and the happenings before). Though I must say it´s a bit eerie how easily you read my mind, for this is exactly how I figured it to be! Too bad you won´t look at it – or wait, no, it´s good, it´s GOOD!!!! For that means I will get to read a wonderful Eora fic, inspired by my – my! – drawing! I still can´t comprehend what I might have done to deserve so much honour and attention and it´s my turn to thank you and tell you that I only hope nobody will look at the picture AFTER reading the fic, for they´ll surely be disappointed. It takes an Alan Lee to capture the magic of your writing, a raven must be doomed to fail.

One funny thing – that says a lot about my perception, I´m afraid, is the fact that, when reading through your comment first, somehow my brain created a connection between the words `liberty´and ´public` and turned them to ´public library´. Which involuntarily delivers the answer on the question where that little happy place can be found. Or perhaps it was already found and is hold dear by the library staff who once had the privilege to witness a certain incident… You see, your virtual presence is enough to inspire a fluent though not quite coherent rambling!

And now to the wonderful бабушка Мороз, December!
I just hope you weren´t too cofused by my comment! Though given your sharp wit and your precise, err, analysis of the events happening on said picture, it´s rather hard to confuse you at all (safe by extremely creative battle cries). Your eye for details reveals a Sherlock Holmes-like quality – I should have named it “Tales an Ink Splodge has to tell” – and so do your conclusions. Indeed, In this state their relationship must have reached a very familiar and relaxed level. Which might be far away form reality, but then, reality is what we make of it, right? ;)

Your mention of stability and security gave me an interesting thought here (now who´s inspiring who, I wonder). We know how much the love life of political leaders is the subject of public interest, and even though I´d insist on a certain level of decency when it´s about consent and respect, I presume the world would sleep better being ruled by people with a satisfying privat life. If I would be the one to pick a person who´s in the power to press a red button, I would make sure said man or woman feels relaxed, loved and sexually satisfied!

Apart from your inspiring feedback, I love your way of perceiving the world! XD By now it hadn´t occured to me that the pile of paper on the table could be My portfolio of, erm, delicate insights of the, erm, private and social life in,erm, Minas Tirith. That adds a totally new aspect… and now I have to find the door to that room..!

Healing (PG-13)

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


The scene that wasn´t in the movie – but it does exist, somewhere, and one day, on the Very Special Super Hyper Enormously-Extended Version we will get it to see.

Plus: You wouldn´t believe how many people asked me if I had changed over to the Christian section – okay, the inspiration for this was an Italian painting from the year 1505, called “The Entombment of Christ”. But hey, on the whole all the really great stories are similar, aren´t they? X)

Very pretty! I like this version better than Peter Jackson’s ;)

Iris    Tuesday 11 December 2012, 12:46    #

Thank you! :D I must say the crucial flaw about the movie version (apart from the fact that it´s not even really in the movie) is the redundant amount of textiles… I mean, we all know that an ill person should be freed of all restricting clothes, right? X)

— raven22372    Tuesday 11 December 2012, 15:56    #

Gush melts! Love this – the penciling, shading, lines shading, the lines.. everything! And I hope Aragorn’s hand moves to replace Faramir’s soon :)

Minx    Tuesday 11 December 2012, 17:33    #

Thanks again, darling! :) Why yes, of course the healer has to check all parts of the patient, right? Just to make sure all body functions are working reliably… right? ;)

— raven22372    Wednesday 12 December 2012, 7:45    #

Ok, I disagree with the use of the word “entombment” anywhere near Faramir – Faramir lives! Forever! :D

Seriously though, I love the feeling of this. I personally wouldn’t necessarily have a “Christian” association with it, but I definitely see something of the old Italian work in it – the sombreness, the grace, the subtle sensuality… Speaking of which, the nipples, gnnnh. Aragorn, cover yourself, have some shame man! There are ladies looking at you here — delicate, modest and impressionable ladies that is, hehehe…

December    Saturday 15 December 2012, 23:03    #

Not to speak of Ioreth, who is definitely an example of decency and virtue and… probably has seen enough through a lifetime spent in the hospital ward! Yes Aragorn, there are ladies around, and most men they get to see are over seventy and close to dementia. Give your generous heart a push and get rid of that filthy, sweaty, way too warm shirt! XD

I think back then (means before the industrial production of books) art was mostly connected to religion. Those were the only stories people had – and though they managed to put every genre of art into them, be it landscape, portrait, light and shadow and, yes, nudity. You wouldn´t believe it, but I even corrected the position of Chris… Faramir´s blanket into a more decent direction! X)

The Night before the Coronation (PG-13)

By Raven22372

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


This picture is inspired by the fics of the wonderful and skilled Eora and my personal tribute/offering/gift in the hope that it will be pleasing.

The fic I had in mind will probably never be written (I would feel like poaching in somebody else´s territory), but if there was a blurb, it would say approximately that (in a more appropriate language):

It´s not an everyday´s event to be crowned as a king, not even for Aragorn. Especially not for Aragorn. Rightful heir or not, that doesn’t change the fact that he spent most of his life in the wilderness and has no idea how that stuff goes. What if he spoils the whole thing? What if he does something really really stupid? So the night before the coronation he wanders around restlessly, fretting about the upcoming event. Until he meets a friendly soul who has never witnessed a coronation either, since the last king has reigned more than 800 years ago, but is familiar with the courtly protocol and ready to help his future king out. Just imagine him saying something like “No worries, it´s not as bad as it looks like. Just give me a minute to get that crown and then we go through the whole procedure and bang! Bob is your uncle.” Okay, imagine a less slangy version. But generally it´s true.1

Technique: Water Colours

1 A way less slangy. But you got the point.

SHRIEK!!! Oh my!!!!! And you say this is inspired by my writing? I don’t know what to say! I’m honestly (for once) speechless! Honestly it’s such an honour, thank you so much for this wonderful treat at the end of a very long and trying day :D

Is it wrong that I…really want to write this little fic? Haha, but of course I’d never dream of stepping on your toes, for it is your idea and you’ve captured the main scene far better than I ever could hope to do with mere words on a page. It’s such a warm scene, so tender; I wonder if they have been dancing around one another for a while, smitten, but only now when Aragorn confesses his nerves do they finally find the perfect opportunity to get a little closer, and of course get in the much-needed rehearsal :P I love this so much, the detail of the crown and the candlestick and the cosiness of the whole image is just so perfect (I know you probably didn’t intend this but I’m imagining that Aragorn’s cloak is just a bedsheet they’ve appropriated for the purpose!) Thank you, thank you again! :)

Eora    Saturday 17 November 2012, 20:31    #

Would you…oh my goodness, would you really do this? Never in my wildest dreams I would have ever hoped… okay, secretly I had the faintest, slightes, tiniest hope of all you might like it and agree to write the story… it´s not that I had not spent hours making up what they might say to each other (like “and then they say this and then you say that and then you can sing a littlle song or something; it´s not in the protocol, but it would be such a nice and touching gesture, exactly what people expect from an event like that. Just make sure it looks spontaneous.”) But as I said, I feel like this being your domain, not to mention that I couldn´t hold a candle to your skills anyway. So… if you would like to make me feel very honoured and incredibly happy – please, go on and do it! :D

Haha, yes, the cloak… Believe it or not, but that was exactly what I intended! On the contrary, I was already worrying that the cloak wouldn´t look enough like a bedsheet! XD I guess they also found replacement ceremonial staffs and replacement ceremonial parchments, all in order to make it feel more realistic. XD

The candlestick, I admit, is part of my own little household. ;) I felt there should be something in the foreground and it was just close at hand. My drawing teacher must never know it, otherwise she might have some nasty ideas… all those freaking spirals! XD

I hope you are better now, my dear? Diseases have left you to visit somebody else (like: your bosses for example)? And saying this I firmly forbid to you stress yourself with writing e-mails and doing anything else than what your heart desires. :) Quoth The Raven. Get well soon!

— raven22372    Sunday 18 November 2012, 14:52    #

I only have one question, why does your Faramir talk like a Kiwi? ;) Though no, I have another one, why the heck is he still wearing his trousers when the King-to-be is so blatantly naked (who counts the cloak? let alone the bedsheet, hehe)? What’s with that, huh, huh?

I wonder also if the King will be able to sit on the throne properly after their nightly practice xD

To say something less lewd though, I really like the idea of Aragorn being crowned in a fashion simila to this, as opposed to just popping it on his own head like in the film. It shows more humility and nobility this way, imho. And despite all the apparent nudity and nudity-to-be, there’s still so much purity and holiness in this picture, just lovely really

AND I’d definitely love to see this story written, uh-huh

December    Saturday 15 December 2012, 23:15    #

We-eee-eell, perhaps you would prefer him talk like an Australian? ;)

And the other question is easy to answer. See, while Aragorn was snuggling up in his cuddly kingsize bed, full of sorrow and anticipation, Faramir hurried through the hallways to fetch the corpus delicti (i.e. the crown), wherefore he was well-advised to wear his pants in order to not draw any redundant attention because of indecent behaviour in public. And furthermore: considering Faramir´s posture in the picture we might come to the conclusion that the same but textile-free pose might transport a slightly too free-swinging attitude, not quite fitting the gravity of the situation. X)

And for the third: You might have noticed that during the coronation ceremony in the movie Aragorn receives his crown STANDING… now you know the reason! XD

Many thanks for your kind words… regarding the holiness, that reminds me of a distant friend who saw that and the “Healing” picture without knowing the context and called them both ´biblical`. Given that he´s a faithful Christian, I wonder how he managed to blank out certain aspects… XDDD

What a terrific idea! I’m not really a Boromir fan but I do appreciate this concept very much.
Ah, and you are so talented! It’s very, very pretty (not sure that’s actually the word I’m looking for in the case of this particular piece, but I always admire your technique which is, eh, pretty somehow :)) indeed.

Geale    Tuesday 18 September 2012, 21:19    #

Thank you so very much! This message comes exactly at the right time and you have no idea how welcome it is! (I’m travelling Western Australia und currently suffering of a severe travel hangover. So please forgive me, if my answer comes across slightly, well confused). I’m so glad you like it – of course I see only the flaws, as usual). And no, actually I’m not so much a Boromir type either – to me he only works when he comes in a double package with his sibling… ;)

— raven22372    Thursday 20 September 2012, 13:27    #

And what, exactly, was a servant doing looking through keyholes, eh? Naughty servant, no-no-no, the Krampus is going to bring you coals these holidays, hehehe.

I’m liking the sneaky finger here, OMG!More Faramir/Boromir on my table, please!

December    Sunday 16 December 2012, 4:59    #

Yay, fresh coals! Fuel for my campfire! :D (clap clap clap)

Just one thing I´d like to know: How do you come to know about the Krampus? I´m deeply impressed and it´s absolutely neither the time nor the place to mention that the Krampus is rather an Austrian/Southern Germany thing. Here in the northern part it´s Knecht Ruprecht – though personally I prefer the Krampus, for he´s a rather fierce and hellish version. >:) What do you think, do they have a Krampus in Gondor? Like: a black Goblin or something? For naughty servants and misbehaving little boys? However, they certainly have a Дед Мороз!

— raven22372    Sunday 16 December 2012, 9:55    #

Oh, love, I happen to know all sorts of things (nauhty eye-brow wiggle), hehehe :D

Well, given Gondor is the southern kingdom, they can get the Krampus, and Arnor being the northern can have Knecht Ruprecht, everyone’s employed! Too bad for the Knecht that everyone in Arnor kind of died out a while back, and the remaining Dunedain rangers are likely to remain unimpressed, hehe.

In saying that, I definitely find the topic of Gondorian state holidays an interesting one. I don’t remember it being much discussed in the Book, but surely there must’ve been heaps, like in any culture, especially one close to the earth and enjoying some rather pagan roots (14 “gods”, huh). I always wince a little when I see phrases like “Christmas in Middle-earth” though, I mean, the whole Christ thing kind of hadn’t really happened on Arda, lol. So I think they should have something uniquely of their own, but definitely there would be a place for some disguised carrot/stick management of children’s behaviour, right? I like the idea of the Black Goblin or some such like, the mythical fauna of M-E is certainly abundant enough to find a good “spirit” of “Christmas”, heheh. For me though, Tom Bombadil is already creepy enough, LMAO. Granpa Frost though I’m not sure, a bit too warm for him in Gondor, no? – remember they were already having flowers and new grass in March – likely they don’t get any much proper frost going…

December    Monday 17 December 2012, 1:36    #

Good point… but know that, if I ever come up with something about rangers being visited by a slightly sinister Knecht Ruprecht plus a bag of toys (man-toys of course. The ME equivalent of Swiss watches and Lacoste polo shirts) and an impressive rod (not what YOU mean. And I know what you mean. X) ), I would hand over all the blame to you. Oh. Yes.

As you said, their should be plenty of opportunities, festivities to mark the end of a season or celebrate a special historic event. I´m quite sure the Rohirrim, who sorta stand for the northern/Scandinavian folks, do have a kind of light feast, as all people whose life was ruled by long cold winters. The Gondorian feasts, however… first I was going to say, they might have something like a southern European christmas, very lively, very colourful, but then, they´re a bit antiquated in their traditions and very much in pompous gestures, so rather not. Although… right now, writing this, I have a thought, still pretty half-baked, that says: The darker the times, the more glittering the parties. For ages they lived under a constant threat, so they MUST have developed a counter weight, just in order to not go totally bonkers. An opportunity to let all the caution slip and get freakishly drunk/laid or dance on the table till dusk. And yes, it certainly won´t lack an element to keep the nasty brats in check, either, – a carrot/stick treatment, huh? You know what you´re talking about, right? ;) – since duty and the sense of obligation is so much part of their culture (and necessary to survive under those circumstances).

Tom Bombadil would indeed be an excellent candidate for the vacant Father Christmas post… friendly and affable enough and yet with a slightly spooky undercurrent… I was always of the opinion that our nowadays Santa Claus lacks a fierce element… I mean, he once started as an old winter deity, more related to blood and fire and hunting wild boars than candy canes. ;) Oh, that reminds me of Tolkiens Father Christmas letters… which, superficially, are little stories he wrote for the entertainment of his children. But there´s already everything in it, Elves and Goblins and ancient caverns, and when he describes the goblin battles, the blood is just one corner away… poor kids today! Do they have any interesting Christmas stories at all? XD

The Wild One (G)

By Eora

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


A simple (and rather heavily photo-referenced) portrait of Faramir that was sort of vaguely intended as an illustration-type thing for a story of the same title that I never seem to be any closer to finishing. You can see where my patience wandered when it came to the flora! I’ve not sketched anything for years, and of course all I can see are the faults, but drawing was my first love and it’s nice to return to that now and again.

Aaaw, that´s pretty! I didn´t even know you draw as well! And I LOVE all the different sorts of flowers (and the butterfly) and the way they surround him like… like a summer storm!

My most favourite part? The little sun creases around his eyes. There is never a Wenham-Faramir portrait completed without them. So beautiful. (sighs)

By the way, and I hope this is not a question too personal, did you do it via Photoshop or “manually”? I tried to find out but wasn´t exactly sure…

Thank you!! :) I was a bit apprehensive about unleashing my ‘art’ (pppft, if you can call it that!) onto the world but I’m glad it’s not caused immediate damage :P Sadly I’m only slightly proficient in copying existing images, this one was cribbed from a Pope Joan screenshot. The story that I never seem to get any further on (it’s been over a year in the writing…aaagh!) features a young Faramir out in the wilds for the first half, and that basically explains the slap-dash foliage :P And who could forget the beloved laughter-lines!

I really prefer to sketch with pencil and paper but this piece was done entirely in (my 7-year old version of) Photoshop with my (9, 10?-year old) tablet, haha! I’m not exactly up to date :P Thank you so much again! :)

Eora    Saturday 25 August 2012, 20:45    #

Don´t ever feel apprehensive! It´s beautiful – and now that I know the source it rouses the fondest memories of Pope Joan. :) And may I say that regardless of the circumstances I´m still nurturing the hope that one day, in a dimension far far away, your fic will see the light of day? Young Faramir in the wild, NOM NOM NOM – and I´ve just realized that the picture is named after a Marlon Brando movie which, don´t ask me for the reason, makes it all even more delicate. :P

Laughter lines… (dreams) Heheh, I was just reading the label on a bottle of sunscreen, and when it said “prevents sun creases” I was “NOOOOOOOOO!!!” XD Okay, err, completely unrelated, I admit. (cough cough)

May I also add that I admire you for scribbling with Photoshop? And that it´s the same with me; even though the program is available I´d rather like to work manually. It´s just another feeling, more… “haptic”, I don´t know. However, please unleash more of your art! I´m totally sure the world will be able to deal with it! ;)

I absolutely love Pope Joan (I think I have a Dutch copy), probably one of the weirder films I think I’ve ever seen but that river scene…oh my. And then the lake scene. Oh me oh my! :P It’s a bit like the further adventures of Faramir (in which he falls in love with the pope. Now there’s a sentence I’d never thought I’d ever type.) in which he has discovered some medieval hair-straighteners :P (Also Iain Glen is in it and he is a handsome gentleman!)

Ahem. That fic will one day surface. Or I’ll at least send you some of the better bits at some point. The whole first part (which is set in the past) is quite lengthy and sets up the whole story…and the whole thing needs re-written because it’s actually terrible and doesn’t flow together at all and argh. So I’ve been stalling and procrastinating over doing that. The latter half is actually mostly readable, but I reached a point whereupon I didn’t know what to put in between the scene I’d gotten up to and the last quarter of the story so that they connected together. Sigh! I usually never have a plan as well! (Though I did sort out the issue of heirs for once!) ANYWAY, young Faramir in the wild indeed;
plenty of illicit encounters in the woodlands and so forth ;) And a hefty dose of angst!

I love to work manually because it’s what I’m used to, I used to draw for hours and hours and hours as a teenager, and of course this was in the days before…well, maybe not before Photoshop but before I had Photoshop or the internet or a computer and so on. The tablet itself I find easy to use but I have shaky hands and linework-precision is a nightmare, so nothing ever gets finished when I draw in Photoshop. That said, I do have another picture that I will post here soon enough, though it’s not exciting so don’t wait up or anything :P

Thank you so much again! :D

Eora    Tuesday 28 August 2012, 22:06    #

Oh, this is so pretty!! I do remember us talking about your love of drawing (I didn’t imagine this did I??) once upon a time and it’s great to finally see something you made! This, I believe, is Faramir in his true element and it’s definitely lovely!

I adore the concept of a ‘summer storm’ of flowers and leaves – thank you for that, raven! :)

Ah, yes, and where do I fill in the membership application form for the Appreciation of Laughter-lines Club?

Again, so, so pretty!

To think it would be you…
of all people.

Maybe one day they’ll know.
They’ll sing and speak
of us.

Of the love above,
in the Tower of stone.

And they’ll paint a picture on white-washed walls
of us.

And say there is joy
and love
in the Tower above.

That´s beautiful! Both, the poetry and picture! The way their streaks of hair blend is quite striking (okay, it´s one of those ideas I wish MY brain would have come up with. I know, I know, envy is evil… ;) ). And the grainy structure of the paper makes it almost look like a mural. A mural with the poem chiselled beneath. So lovely!

aww….how lovely!!! And the verse too is so beautiful!

Minx    Sunday 5 August 2012, 18:55    #

Thank you so much both of you! I – really – am no artist but I confess I do like to play around sometimes – and sometimes I gather up the courage to post something too.

Raven, sorry my brain got there before yours did… ;) But you’ll think of something else, I am certain,

Thank you for liking!

Love their garments! I was always wondering what leisure wear they might wear in Minas Tirith, and since the climate seems to be warmer than in the north, this kind of Roman tunics fit them perfectly.

I’m so glad you liked this! I wonder about the lesiure wear too, and i saw tunics in some other artwork and thought it might fit fairly well. and well, for some reason the roam type bordered tunics just stay in my head…So glad it works!:) Thank you!

I think you uploaded this about 20 years ago…here I am, better late than never? Forgive me!

I hold up my hands in defeat; watercolours have ALWAYS evaded my understanding. I used them at school, I have my own paints here and paper that sit unused…no, that is a lie, they were used once and I’m still boggled by how mixing the paints is supposed to create….colours? Is that what they’re called? What is this instrument? A brush?! It all escapes me; I can just about hold a pencil and draw a line but colour theory and shading and light and perspective and blending of paints are things meant for others and not myself.

In short. I am very jealous of your skill. Argh, look at the shafts of light streaming down from the windows? Did you use masking fluid? (Oh yes, I bought everything…there it is, sitting on the desk in front of me, nice and dusty!) I love the delicate linework and your perfect perspective and argh, shadows are things I just cannot grasp, particularly when choosing what colour to make them. Not black, no, but is it a complimentary colour or just a darker version of the shade already used?! A Rosetta stone for paint, please! This is such a lovely scene, peaceful, yet still full of activity, and the muted colour palette (and I have never been able to spell that correctly and my computer’s dictionary refuses to help) is used so effectively; it’s such a warm scene. Ah, the sweet first proper meeting of these two men, I like that they seem anonymous, they could be any two men of the city, a stable-hand and a servant, or you know, two of the highest ranking nobles in the realms :P Simply lovely!

Eora    Tuesday 28 August 2012, 23:17    #

Fear ye not, for there is nothing to forgive (yet of course I will do if it will ease your burden)! Even if it was years ago, finding so many lovely, thoughtful, funny and detailed comments would still make me beam like a Hobbit in a mushroom cultivation.

And now I am afraid I have to tear the veil and reveal myself as the bloody dilettante I am. Regarding water colours, would you please move over and let me climb onto your horse? For that is exactly how I feel about them! XD Maybe slowly, very slowly they grant me a bit of insight, but most of my works remain an attempt to tip the number generator.

At least I can add a little something to the shadow issue, if ony because I recently read a book about the using of water colours. According to the author shadows tend to be blue (or blueish), not always, but very often. I think one could mix it with the other colours to “cool them down” (like a bluer green on the underside of a tree crown and more yellow on the top, where the sunlight reflects). Yes, I´m sure it would work. Theoretically…

No masking fluid in here, even though I own a bottle (which leads more or less the same life as yours). I must say I´m a bit suspicious about it for it causes rather hard edges that don´t always fit in. This time I just drew the shafts of light with a pencil and then worked my way around. Needless to say I am still baffled it worked. Normally I partway forget for what reason those obscure pencil lines where made for… XD)

But dearest, do not let the wicked theory discourage you! I´m convinced you have it in you to do so much more! You are definitely blessed with the gift of talent, and if your equipment calls you to duty, do not hesitate! It is in your blood and your brushes know it! :)

Again this is so lovely, and again I find myself feeling only warmth from the image due to the perfect choice of tones and the memory of the accompanying story! Faramir’s smile is melting my heart a little, you know, as much as the story involves Eomer selecting a horse for Faramir, I think it is very much the latter who is driving the encounter in a direction he wishes it to go (luckily the same one that Eomer wants, too.) That little smile there, his gentle humour even when speaking of sad things, is somehow all encompassed in a few strokes of your pencil and I am eternally envious of that skill!

Eora    Tuesday 28 August 2012, 23:29    #

What is there to say in the face of such lovely praise? I feel how little I deserve it and yet I could bath in its glory for hours… ah, the mind of men is easily corrupted..!

Oh yes, I think Faramir has the ability to, well, not push people into a certain direction, but, let´s say, slightly adjust them, given the circumstances are not too adverse. ;) And I must say I´m glad the situation has obviously some appeal; after finishing the fic there was a moment when I realized “Oh no, there´s nothing happening in there! They´re just – talking!” XD

Regarding Faramir´s voice I think what I secretly had in mind was the scene when he and Pippin meet in the hallway. I could endlessly listen to Mr. W.´s voice here, so soft and gentle, and though with a hidden touch of laughter. I wished that man would do audiobooks or something – alright, I would be confined with him reading the telephone book! XD

Fair lady, your accolade is a cup of sweetest nectar enjoyed by a warming fire. And wrapped into this cloak of warmth (and slight hubris) I´ll hover to bed now… *_*Good night…

I really like the feeling of this picture, so comfortable and cheerful, Faramir nonchalantly petting a horse while Eomer fishes in his pants – that’s just priceless. And Eomer’s other hand is like, “Hey, Horse, you shouldn’t be looking there, you should be looking over here.” Excuse me x))
I also like how you essentially use the same colours for all the elements in the painting, and yet it does not look bland somehow. And that Eomer’s hair and the horse’s mane are the same shade – they must be related!

December    Tuesday 24 July 2012, 11:57    #

HEEHEEH, I ´m delighted you like the curious horsey! :D I found the picture somewhat boring before, until it popped up and demanded to be part of it! Not that the scenery would be even half as cheerful in reality – erotic intercourses in a stable might lead to various incidents of which an unexpected encounter with soft, inquisitive nostrils might be a rather harmless one! XD

And it´s so amazing what you can do with only two colours! I´ve just started to read about painting again, and I´m struck with awe by how easily you can improve your results once you know how! ;) (Sounds silly, I know. But generally I don´t even read manuals, and though my shelves are stuffed with books about art, I mostly stick with looking at the pictures. XD)

I´m positive they´re related! Given the very close relationship between the riders and their horses… okay, perhaps what Tolien actually MEANT was a rather spiritual one – but you never know! X)

— raven22372    Wednesday 25 July 2012, 11:30    #

Well, you know, there are all these humorous works out there showing how look-alike dog-owners and their dogs often are. I don’t think anyone’s ever done the same with horses, but I definitely see possibility. I for one always liked feisty temperamental horses, just like myself, lol! And Shadowfax is in many ways like Gandalf, by the way, even looks! And then Glorfindel’s horse was all very Elvish, and Bill was so much like Sam, so… yeah :)

Oh, but you must, you must share where you read that, those tips! I am so struggling with imporving my art lately, and isn’t it frustrating when you look at a picture, and you see something in it that you would like to do, but you have no idea how…

Oh, the horse is absolutely a must in the composition, methinks. It adds so much nuance to the relationship you portray. I mean, it is inherently interesting, of course, to see one LOTR hottie loosening the trunks on another, but that doensn’t mean you can’t make it even MORE intersting.

December    Thursday 26 July 2012, 9:07    #

Now that you´ve mentioned it… indeed, there are remarkable resemblances between the Tolkien horses and their riders! X) Unfortunately there are not so many explicit human/perissodactyl relationships (as you said Gandalf/Shadowfax and Sam/Bill are the most distinctive ones) but there should be at least hints that allow a little elaboration… XD

And since it just fits in: I know you prefer the book version of Faramir, yet there is a little story about ROTK (the movie) you might enjoy nevertheless. It´s told by David Wenham, in the audio comment and it´s about the horse he rides in the film. So, according to what he says, it wasn´t long until he got the feeling their communication suffered of a little disorder, and since he generally got along rather well with horses, he finally consulted the stable master in order to find out what was wrong. Well, the answer he got was approximately like that: “Why yes, was quite a cheap horse. Cost us not more than 200 Dollars. No idea what´s wrong with it, but I figure there must be a reason” Whereas he decided to just integrate the given circumstances in his role, like: Hey, maybe it was a present of Denethor. Cheapest horse, only 200 bucks, just give it to Faramir!” So yes, coincidence of happenings…

Oh dear… here you have me rambling again and instead of stopping me you even fuelled the conflagration. Soooo, wanna talk about art? ;)

First and most important. I don´t think I can hand over anything way too helpful. Just refer to a few books I found helpful – and perhaps an advice I´ve recently got.

One of my all-time favorite books of reference is Facial Expressions by Gary Faigin:

http://www.amazon.com/Artists-Complete-Guide-Facial-Expression/dp/0823016285

After all even the most emotional expression is a result of muscle contractions and the book explains which muscles are involved and how you can depict it on paper. It´s very easy to consume and you can flick back and forth, depending on what you need, without working through the whole book. Also, it´s amazing that sometimes a simple trick suffices to depict a highly complex emotional state!

Furthermore I´ve just read a book about Water Colours by Colette Pitcher:

http://www.amazon.com/Watercolor-Painting-Dummies-Colette-Pitcher/dp/0470182318

Again, rather laid back, not too scientific descriptions and lots of practical tips. There´s also a section about room arrangement and perspective.

And I´ve just found a rather voluminous book, Drawing by Andras Shunyoghy:

http://www.borders.com.au/book/the-big-book-of-drawing/24564843/

It covers each section from the basics (perspective, room, the usual suspects) over anatomy, architecture and and still life to the depiction of animals (horses!!!). There are certainly books that go deeper into the single subject, but it gives a good overlook over the topics and again, you don´t need a diploma to read it.

And last but not least, and I hope I won´t fuck up the explanation: A couple of weeks ago a drawing teacher told me something I find immensely helpful. Actually she referred to a pencil depiction that consisted only of lines, neither shadows nor colour, but I think in any case it´s a method to get an idea of the dynamics of a body. It´s actually vey easy, but a bit difficult to explain, when you cannot show it.

So let´s say… well, take Faramir´s arm in this picture, (that one that reaches out for the horse). Now, in which direction does this movement lead? The upper arm (the one that does the “raise”) goes upwards, which is to the left side of the picture. So, given, you had no other stylistic devices than the outer lines of the arm, you could emphasize the one, that goes into that direction (the left one), by making it bolder or darker, for example. The lower arm instead stretches towards the horse, which means it goes into the opposite direction, so you could emphasize the right line, to show the motion. It´s a kind of “where does the energy go”. Meanwhile I´m trying to do this, even when I have the support of colour and shadow, because it gives me a better feeling, for, well, body masses and spaces (I´m afraid I lack a better term here. And I hope you can make anything out of this rather incoherent description XD).

I also wrote myself a little schedule of things I should be aware of before I start a draft. Like: Where does the light comes from? Where am I standing (means: the onlooker)? How is the position of the characters to each other? Are the “masses” well-balanced? Maybe I should point out that all these are attempts (and rather poor ones) to find a way through the jungle. ;) Sometimes things work, and many times they don´t, so… if YOU have any tips/advices/tech support for me – please let me know! I´M EARS! :D

Woops, when did this turn into a comment fix? Are you still alive? Not died of boredom yet? (nudge nudge) December? Could you wave a flag or something..?

— raven22372    Thursday 26 July 2012, 14:27    #

Oh, thank you, dear! My oh my, I feel like such a dilettante now, hehe. Don’t think I’ve ever even opened an arts manual in my life, despite several years at art school – which alas didn’t exactly teach us to draw either, it was more “creative” stuff, hehe. Anyway, thanks plenty for the suggestions, I’ll be sure to check in the local library just about today, and then we’ll see :) I do understand the point you are making about the lineart, that it is not just the outline of a shpae, but can be used to illustrate motion etc. While I understand the concept, the application, however, is much more elusive. Well, cut down on the moaning.

Anyway, as for what I could recommend in return. Again, haven’t read any books (saying this I kind of feel like a Boromir, hehe), so can only tell you about the people who insipe me, if I dare use such a big word for the works of those from whom I haven’t actually been able to grasp enough to improve my own work, as they are too awesome for my understanding :P

Sooo, I’ll mention here just two, the most awesome of all, in my opinion, and the most LOTR-mooded, if you see what I mean. They don’t actually do any LOTR fanwork, but the overall feel of their pictures sets my thought in that direction. Both are, incidentally, my compatriots, which I learnt after I’d already fallen in love with their work, so let’s not consider that a bias. Anyway, to cut the crap, one is Anndr, and her handling of colour is just something beyond me. It’s as though she invents colours all of her own, that weren’t there before her. Check out how she does landscapes – and she also does that stuff we talked about, using just 2-3 colours for an entire piece, or, on the other hand, using all the colours of the rainbow to paint a face, and it still looks normal.

The other one is Phobs, and this gentleman is just generally effing amazing. I won’t go into detail, just see for yourself – but the way he handles character depiction, and lanscapes, and… yeah, see for yourself. I’ll only add that, if LOTR was themed not after medieval North-western Europe, but medieval MONGOLIA (goggle eyes, I know, yeah), it would totally look like THIS. Mind you, I’m not even much of a fan of medieval Mongolia, given my people’s dealings with it at the time, but you. Just. Have. To. See. This.

Hope some inspiration will be coming your way from this rant, and do keep posting your lovely endeavours :)

Oh no no no, please don´t feel intimidated/dilettante/bad in any way ever! The detail I haven´t mentioned yet is that I spent years buying all these books, but never really read them (okay. I looked at the pretty drawings. Perhaps that counts… X) ). It was not until I decided to apply at a private art school this autumn that I thought it might be a good idea to learn some basics about anatomy and composition and stuff. X) And if I may take the opportunity to completely ruin my reputation: The use of colours is a book of seven seals to me, so I rather prefer to stick to two or three of them. It´s just safer for me… XD

Большое спасибо for the inspiration you sent my way! I checked them both and I say; what would we do without internet? Only a couple of years ago nobody would have even seen these artworks! About Phobs I love the way he depicts a character and their mental state by nothing but a few lines. A certain look, a special way to walk – it´s incredible what he can express with one tiny motion. And for Anndr – heheh, oh yes, I know what you mean! There is an epical atmosphere in her works that would easily fit into the Tolkien universe. And since you brought it up before I can mention it with clear conscience: Indeed I have noticed the kyrillic letters in the comments and it didn´t surprise me at all. ;) I hope it won´t come across in the way of a prejudice, but I often think there is a special emotional quality in the works of Slavic artists you cannot find anywhere else. And with artists I mean authors and composers as well. It´s a special kind of warmth and richness that gives me a strange feeling of familiarity – don´t ask me why. I suppose it´s either a case of reincarnation, or a way more interesting family tree I could possibly imagine – or just simple fondness, who knows?

Heheh, well, I think I WILL take your advice and scribble around a little bit more – and I will not give up hope for more of YOUR art! I remember some beautiful works and where there are two there might be more… ever thought about addition to the family? (nudge nudge)

Oh me oh my indeed! (Not sure why that is my phrase du jour!) And what an interruption! Is Eomer genuinely amused or does he hide frustration at this most inopportune intervention by their equine friend? :P I love Faramir’s lackadaisical-but-amused attitude, ‘ah well, plenty of time for a nose-rub before we get down to business.’ Or perhaps it is a nose-rub in exchange for look-out duties. ‘If someone is coming, stamp three times!’ I want to think that this little daydream of Eomer’s did perhaps become reality at a later date, maybe not immediately after their ride (now that just sounds dirty now :P) but, you know, after any aching muscles have well and truly been soothed. Or perhaps this is the post-riding scene? Where Faramir confesses to a little…erm, stiffness (in his legs and back, naturally) and Eomer, now that they call one another friend, offers his services as a masseuse?

I love the detail in the surroundings, the way the light falls on Faramir’s impromptu pillow, Eomer’s rather low-slung breeches and of course that questing hand, ha! One day, long into the future, I might dare sketch something other than a straight up facial portrait, but for now I glower in a well-intended fog of envy at your compositional, anatomical and atmospherical (computer is telling me this isn’t a word, I say it is!) skills :)

Eora    Tuesday 28 August 2012, 23:41    #

My oh MY!!!! (sic!) Eora, dearest, you spoil me completely! All those wonderful, flattering (and entirely undeserved) feedback! All the time you invested! How could I ever repay you? A breakfast in Minas Tirith´s best tavern? Dwarven beer? A daisy chain?

First: be prepared to get letters of protest from my work-mates who I startled to death by bursting into cascades of Homeric laughter. All those vivid notions you put into my mind, each of them holding the seed of a story of its own..! Why yes, I wouldn´t wonder if Éomer had trained his favourite horse to give mouth (better hoof) in case of unwelcome disruption. Or, since Faramir has a knack with animals, he might indeed have arranged a little something… so many delightful suggestions! :P

I might not be way too familiar with horses, but I´m sure there is a LOT of massaging involved. Aching muscles, ankles, backs… thinking about it I´m quite sure Éomer has developed some special qualities here – and he shall be glad to use them for making his guest, err, comfortable… X)

No no no, do not envy me! I spend half of my time envying other people´s skills (that is, when I´m not busy detecting the mistakes in my own stuff)! My knowledge is about as narrow as the edge of a Gondolin blade, so to say, and you have no idea how long it took me to get something (halfway) right! Once a friend posted a tutorial about drawing in Photoshop and I went green, I tell you, GREEN! X)

Cold Waters of Anduin (G)

By Keihi

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


An illustration for the chapter ‘The Window On The West’

‘I sat at night by the waters of Anduin, in the grey dark under the young pale moon, watching the ever-moving stream; and the sad reeds were rustling. So do we ever watch the shores nigh Osgiliath, which our enemies now partly hold, and issue from it to harry our lands. But that night all the world slept at the midnight hour. Then I saw, or it seemed that I saw, a boat floating on the water, glimmering grey, a small boat of a strange fashion with a high prow, and there was none to row or steer it.

‘An awe fell on me, for a pale light was round it. But I rose and went to the bank, and began to walk out into the stream, for I was drawn towards it. Then the boat turned towards me, and stayed its pace, and floated slowly by within my hand’s reach, yet I durst not handle it. It waded deep, as if it were heavily burdened, and it seemed to me as it passed under my gaze that it was almost filled with clear water, from which came the light; and lapped in the water a warrior lay asleep.

‘A broken sword was on his knee. I saw many wounds on him. It was Boromir, my brother, dead. I knew his gear, his sword, his beloved face. One thing only I missed: his horn. One thing only I knew not: a fair belt, as it were of linked golden leaves, about his waist. Boromir! I cried. Where is thy horn? Whither goest thou? O Boromir! But he was gone. The boat turned into the stream and passed glimmering on into the night. Dreamlike it was, and yet no dream, for there was no waking. And I do not doubt that he is dead and has passed down the River to the Sea.’

This is beautiful (heartbreaking but beautiful). I just saw it earlier on Tumblr. Is that you too? :)

Thank you.

I’m new on tumblr, so these things are a bit difficult for me. Anyway, ask box should be there now. Thank you. -)

OMG, this is BEAUTIFUL! The vignette and something about the style remind me of an art nouveau window. I love the delicate features and the composed face expression, it fits the atmosphere of the scene very well. And the crescent mood is just magic – probably because it makes me think of some illustrations made for fairy tales. This is wonderful and very unique – I hope it doesn´t come across intrusive but I would love to see more of your art! :)

— raven22372    Wednesday 18 July 2012, 20:32    #

Oh, thank you!
Art nouveau is absolutely my favourite artstyle. And while I used mostly Alan Lee’s paintings of Ostagar for inspiration, it actually looks like one of Bilibin’s illustration for Russian fairy tales. I had a book illustrated by him once, but it wasn’t a conscious decision to try and mimic his style. -)
Thank you!

— Keihi    Thursday 19 July 2012, 6:05    #

Love the composition and style of this, has this old fairy-tale inked-in feeling. I find your communication of emotion is very in-line with the style, whereby the pose communicates more than the actual facial expression, and given the context of the scene that adds it a particular beautiful anguish. There is a mixture of shock, and disbelief, and pain, and love in his hands, as though he secretly hopes that only if he can stay calm, this will not be real.
Very much look forward to seeing more art from you!

December    Thursday 19 July 2012, 14:10    #

Also, er, just saw on deviant that you do slash, too. So, em, maybe you could do some for LOTR, maybe…? That would be just prrreeecious. \o/

December    Thursday 19 July 2012, 14:15    #

You wouldn’t believe how much I love comments such as yours. Thank you!
I’m really glad that you mentioned his hands, because the pose is an allusion to my favourite fanfic (I was sure I found it here, but I can’t find it now, so here is the link to the AO3). The story is incredibly captivating and the imagery is just perfect.
As for slash… I actually do a lot of it, but drawing LotR slash seems… disrespectful.
I also rarely do more than two pieces for fandoms that are not One Piece, but I’ll certainly try to come up with something.

— Keihi    Thursday 19 July 2012, 14:31    #

Good grief, this is breathtaking! I’m going to just end up parroting everyone else but honestly this is a stunning piece of work, thank you for sharing it! I adore the cool, muted tones; rather than dull the image you’ve brought a real sense of peace and sorrow to the scene, an ethereal aspect that works perfectly. Others have mentioned the ‘fairytale’ quality of the composition, as if you’d open a beautiful old illustrated story and find this nestling amongst the pages and I fully agree, the hints of art nouveau influence in the line-work particularly are especially enchanting. Poor Faramir, you show his pain so subtly, it really breaks the heart! The dreamlike aspect of the piece works so well on this level with Faramir himself standing there wishing it was but a dream! Thank you again for sharing this gorgeous piece with us; if I could draw like this I’d never leave the house! :)

Eora    Thursday 19 July 2012, 22:14    #

Oh my. Excuse me while I go die happily in the corner. My life feels complete.

— Keihi    Friday 20 July 2012, 6:05    #

Disrespectful? Yes, I can relate ot that. I often feel that way myself when posting something slashy, the Book just has this pure feeling about it, something almost akin to the Christian understanding of virtue and celibacy etc. If it wasn’t for the movie with all the meaninful glances etc. I probably wouldn’t have ever worked up the courage to set any of those er… ideas on paper.
Thoguh I guess that also depends on WHAT kind of slash that would be. I mean, romance between men can be portrayed with a sense of grace and purity just as much as romance between a man and a lady – and at least judging by this work, I feel you are well capable of portraying any of the characters in a slashy situation without it coming across disrespectful to the original. But you shouldn’t listen to me of all people, I post such profanity here it is awful, lol.
Was just dropping by to once again say how lovely I find this picture to be. May I ask, what medium(s) did you use, and how long it took all in all?

Ехехе х))
Касательно неприкосновенных историй – в основном относится к книгам, которые читаешь в детстве. Даже не так, к книгам, которые написаны для детей. But I can totally see your point -))
As for the meduims – I had a couple of sketches – one for laying out general composition and variants of Faramir’s pose, and one for the design of the river part of the frame. I never even scanned them, all in all it’s pure Photoshop (CS3). The time… Well, I started it in the middle of May, worked on it for maybe two or tree days (I only work for a couple of hours a day) and did lineart for Faramir, the boat, the bank and the reeds. Then there were finals, and I only finished it in a couple of days a week ago. So it took about 12-15 hours in total, I guess?

з.ы.: где я спалилась?)

Wow!!! This is beautiful!! It’s so detailed and lovely!

Minx    Saturday 21 July 2012, 21:29    #

Оо, это очень интересный вопрос) You feel that LOTR is a children’s book? By the way, I totally don’t know whether it was intended like one, although I have read such statements several times, incidentally in Russian net communities – so I’m not trying to hold an enducated literary discussion here ;) only asking re your personal perception. To me too, this tale was read when I was around 5 – and I fell for it hook, line and sinker. I don’t think it would be much of an exaggeration to say this book has shaped my worldview, at least more than any other work of art or writing. But whether it’s actually a children’s book, at least in how it came out if not the intent… I don’t know, having reread it some one and a half decades later, I felt it was perfect for my age – no, not that, I felt I was still too young to fully understand… Admittedly, if you compare it to, say, Sil, then Sil does have a much more adult feeling to it – though Sil is generally written in a myth-like fashion, and that is always a more sombre reading… But either way, I guess my current view is that LOTR is literally a book for all ages. It certainly is appropriate and good for children, though maybe 5 is a bit too young, hehe – it did give me a fear of the dark that hasn’t 100% gone away yet, though I’m on my way – and a panic fear of spiders that I… well. I know I’ll never move ot Australia, haha. Would love to know your thoughts on this. Though I must add that this approach reads well in at least this current painting, and I guess one of the reasons it has touched me so, is the way the style, which indeed is very Bilibin-like, sends me back to my childhood years, and therefore back to my childhood perception of the LOTR book. We did have at home the Tsar Saltan book with Bilibin’s illustrations, so your picture definitely pulls a nostalgic string…

По поводу слэша… Опять же, первый разы книга была прочитан в детстве, да и в России в общем-то отношение к такого рода фанарту и фанфикшену весьма неодобрительное… Да, пока жила в России, испытывала довольно сильное чувство неловкости за слэш, да и вообще за все выше уровня ПГ, связанное с ЛОТР. Но в целом у меня выработался подобный взгляд: все-таки в самой книге сказано, что она написана якобы правнуком Фарамира, скажем так, для истории. Соответственно мы имеем дело с официальной и формальной версией событий, где… скажем так, в силу жанра многие вопросы не затрагиваются вообще, и я имею в виду не только слэш. Когда дело касается официальных иллюстраций и экранизаций, я очень даже большой пурист и поборник канона – ох, как же бесило меня изображение в фильме отношений Арагорна с женщинами. Что он трогает Эовин и строит ей глаза, да и с Арвен там тоже довольно всё привольно было… На мой взгляд, это совершенно не соответствует атмосфере книги. Но если мы называем свою работу словом фанарт или фанфикшн, то есть берем авторскую лицензию на полную свободу интерпритации – тут уж, мне кжается, другое дело. Тут уже начинается работа непосредственно с героями истории, а не с самим оригиналом – а все герои в той или иной степени люди, и ничто человеческое)))) Но тут надо сказать, у меня было очень удачное знакомство со слэшем в отношении ЛОТР. ЭТо было большой неожиданностью, я тогда и не знала-то о таком жанре – и это был акварельный портрет Арагорна с Леголасом. Я вообще-то не любитель этой пары, но в той работе… там даже не было почти ничего, ни поцелуев, ни уж тем более чего-то большего. Но там было ощущение глубокого внутреннего конфликта, и сильного чувства, и все было какое-то чоень чистое и печальное. У меня тогда просто открылись глаза… В книге хорошо видно, что все человеческие страсти присущи тем, кто населяет историю, в той или иной форме. И я подумала тогда, ну а это чем хуже, это ведь тоже могло бы быть. Конечно, об этом никто бы не стал даже близко упоминать в книге для потомков, но это еще не значит, что это совершенно невозможно. Как-то так)

Прошу прощения за столь пространные рассуждения. Просто когда встречаешь человека, делающего такие проникновенные работы, да еще по твоей любимой книге, да еще земляка, да еще и с какими-то явно интересными отношениями с хомоэротикой – ну просто очень интересно становится пообщяться и узнать побольше. Ну если вы не против))

Палево, ну в первую очередь, Билибин. Все-таки за бугром он не так известен, по крайней мере по имени. С One Piece я не была знакома, и в гугле ссылки на него тоже выдали русские. Ну а дальше я пошло проверять догадку на Деваянт))))

12-15 hours. Holy ****! I mean, wow, that is fascinating. It seems like really not much time at all for a full-colour work with people and background… Do you do tutorials?)))

Minx:
Thank you, dear!

December:
Hm. Actually, LotR is a bit out of this type of books – ‘cause it certainly was The book of my childhood (I’m pretty sure it was one of the first books I’d read myself), but I don’t think it was meant for children, certainly not like The Hobbit was. I was referring more to the books like… Treasure Island or To Kill a Mockingbird. LotR is more like a sacred text (and I’m very ashamed to admit, that I’ve yet to read The Silmarillion). (By the way – The Chronicles of Narnia fall into both categories here. Good job, Mr Lewis!) And it’s not that I’m not okay with slash in it in general (I’ve read almost everything there is on Boromir/Faramir tag here, for the matter), I just don’t see myself ever drawing anything above PG-13 for this fandom.
Может, дело еще в том, что знакомство со слэшем по фэндому для меня началось с того, что мне вручили ссылку на огромный фанфик, где было много эльфов (в частности, я именно оттуда узнала, что Элронд – полуэльф. Это потрясло меня до глубины души), рейтинг был NC-21, и было неимоверное количество хардкорного БДСМ. Как-то это просто не уложилось в сознании.
Кстати о книге для потомков – я не помню, в каком фанфике и по какому фэндому мне попалась эта мысль, но там было рассуждение одного из персонажей о том, что он и его любовник “войдут в историю по отдельности”. Дело же даже не в том, что это опустят как несущественную деталь – дело все-так личное, едва ли о таких отношениях кому-то известно.
Что дает выдающийся простор для творчества.)

Хе, ясно. Насчет One Piece, правда, странно – мне кажется, что родной японский, да и английский фэндомы гораздо активнее.

Well, actually, it’s not that complicated. The coloring is just basic colous, no shading, it just looks good because of what technically is a texture. It was only a matter of choosing the right colour scheme. And clean lineart are kind of what I do.)) It only took so long because I had to redo Faramir’s face several times, and some parts had to be drawn with… one-movement strokes (like reeds and the river design), when usually every line I draw is a compilation of short strokes.
I never actually tries to do a tutorial, but I guess a can do some kind of step-by-step for this work if you’d like. ))

Drawn for the Teitho ‘Heirlooms’ challenge. Stretching the theme a little, but when they brought up that heirlooms could be names, this was the first and only thing on my mind. The name passing to its next bearer, in a new family. Faramir, son of Denethor, greets Faramir, son of Peregrin. :) I wonder what the lil’ fella is thinking?

Boromir is left-handed! Who would have thought!

I’m enjoying the interaction here, the play of their expressions, the teasing, the fondness, the deep thought…

December    Sunday 27 January 2013, 22:50    #

Which might be the reason for his obvious difficulties (writing with a right hand quill?)… okay, I admit I can´t remember I noticed that. XD Anyway, I ´m afraid this is the only teacher Boromir would gladly accept regarding a subject he is only, well, errrr…. suboptimal skilled with. (looks around carefully) For you know, GONDOR´S MIGHTIEST WARRIOR NEEDS NO LESSONS FROM MINIONS. (insert disdainful snort here)

— raven22372    Monday 28 January 2013, 7:55    #

OMG I want that made into a shirt! “GONDOR´S MIGHTIEST WARRIOR NEEDS NO LESSONS FROM MINIONS” – that will be my rallying cry from now on.

P.S. I always felt sorry for Boromir’s childhood tutors. At least Faramir must have been a sweet consolation for them.

December    Monday 28 January 2013, 9:10    #

DO EEEET!!!!! :DDD If you ever decide to build an army, I´ll be the first one to sign in! Our battle cry would be SO adorable! :D
What? Who was that? Who said that? Hey, there´s no law saying battle cries have to be INTELLIGENT..!

HAHAH, so do I! XD Wasn´t it Karina (Kassiopeia) who pointed that out in her wonderful, Calvin-and-Hobbes-inspired Boromir comics? No doubt his wearout of teachers/nannies must have been immense! XD

— raven22372    Monday 28 January 2013, 23:02    #

Oh yes, Karina had it right through and through. And it’s so hilarious when you look at her grown-up Boromir, so grave and sexy, and imagine him as that little boy driving everyone nuts. You ever thought of doing a little!Gondorians strip? I think you have a very fitting sense of humour for that.

I think battle cries have to be 1. intimidating, 2. confusing, 3. preferably make the opponent worry you might be contagious. When the enemy is intimidated, confused, and would rather not come too close to you, the battle is 2/3 won already. But come on, you won’t shock anyone much by yelling “For Gondor!” Well, that is, provided Gondor actually does exist in your physical universe. Otherwise yeah, the three criteria would be pretty much met.

December    Tuesday 29 January 2013, 0:28    #

I must say I thought about it, but was never hit by the spark of creation; not to speak of the fact that Im rather unexperienced with comics and my few attempts turned out pretty poor. But I admit, there ARE ideas… My favourite contains Boromir trying to shred a battle-axe proof door with his, erm, axe, chopping and yelling and making a lot of (very loud) fuss. Whereas Faramir, after watching the whole mess from a safe distance, finally gets up, draws a hair pin or a very small knife and, with a skilled hand and the slightest effort, picks the lock. Ideas, as I said…

HMUAHAHAAHAHAHA, OMG, December, your description of the meaning of battle cries is PRICELESS!!! XD Particularly point no. 3 reveals such an amount of wisdom and psychologic insight – I disagree, taking that advice the battle would not even HAPPEN! XDDD A quickly spread gossip of measels does more to peace than the invention of a deterrent secret weapon (okay, we all knew that a deterrent secret weapon is a reliable method to fuel hostile actions). If I was ever in the need to build an army, You would be the first to be recruited! XD

Two attempts to create an illustration for The Gifts in small Packages by December.

Rather poor attempts, I´m afraid, that won´t do justice to the delicate and tender atmosphere of the story (and speaking of it, I have no idea why the cone of this candle is obviously trying to escape). However, since this is all my noodle fingers will come up with at the time – would you like to accept it?

And yes, I am a pathological apologizer. Erm… why do you ask?

Why on earth do you apologize? Your artwork is very good! I especially liked the one that showed Faramir looking all pensive, while Pippin approaches from behind, bearing a cup. Both drawings are very well done. Thank you for sharing them with us. Sincerely, Darkover

(Sniff) I thank you! :))) You know, there´s always the difference between what it was meant to be and the way it turns out eventually. And may I say your lovely feedback is hugely welcome? It encourages me to trust myself a little more… and the kindness of my fellow-fans. Thanks again! :)

By Sauron’s balls, why do I always miss these?!!! Roars in frustration and pulls imaginary beard out.

To accompany your customary apologies, may I present my customary thanks? :) I truly am so honoured and amazed that you find inspiration in a story of mine.

Mm, of course there’s always a difference :) For me there is one too, both in writing and especially more so in art. It is only at night right before slipping into slumber, if I am thinking on a story that Faramir will show his face to me sometimes. And I would think, yes! there he is, I must draw his like this. And then in the morning he is gone…

But that’s an artist’s unsharable plight, I guess – I mean, we only see the result, and for my part I think you perfectly well have an ‘atmosphere’. I especially love Faramir’s pose and expression in the window scene. And I can’t help but notice your Faramir looks very consistent from one artwork to another… Do you use someone as reference, or?

December    Saturday 11 February 2012, 0:23    #

No no no, leave your beard alone! It´s way too pretty to be torn out! If Gimli son of Gloin could see it he would go green with envy!
But feel free to pull Sauron´s balls a little bit longer. XDDD To be frank I didn´t expect him to have some. It would have explained his constant bad mood…. XD

Consistent? Funny you ask that because actually this is my main issue. I was thinking of many people to be my model but none of them gave me a “SNAP! That´s him!” Which makes it hard to nail an image for all I can see on my inner screen is very vague and misty. Whereas meanwhile I´m so familiar with the movie version I don´t even need a picture of David Wenham close at hand. Oh and… maybe I should take take the opportunity to explain my special preference for the movie character, though you did not ask me about that and I´m afraid it will bore you. See, when I first saw The Two Towers I didn´t even like him. I think I walked into the same trap as many other people who went “What the hell has happened to Faramir???”. And the crucial scenes, the flashback sequence that would have told what happened to him, were still about to come. It took another year and the release of The Return of the King to change my mind. I must add that back then I was caught in a very mischievous relationship and desperately trying to gain somebody´s love. And when the “You wish our places were exchanged” scene came there suddenly was that sentence in my head, rather like an epiphany than a conscious thought, saying “Whatever you do it will never be enough.” I wasn´t even sure whether it was addressed to me or to the fictional character on the screen. It didn´t make any difference either. Because for a moment it was as if I was looking at a reflection of my own innerspace, mirrored by an incredibly skilled actor. I can´t remember how I got home (it had been a late night show and public transports were hard to come by) for all I could think of, all I could see, was that one single face. It wasn´t like “Dude, What a man!”, not even “Poor bloke, have to cuddle him!”. What I felt was a strange connection between fictional and “real” world, so intense I had only very few before. From that moment it was sealed.

So, well, the story of a questionable obsession, undemanded and yet delivered. No idea how it could come to this, I can only assume it ´s your inspiring presence – and the overwhelming discovery that you really accepted these as “official” illustrations. Many many thanks to you! :)

Nothing but a Scratch (G)

By Raven22372

Thanks to December for inspiration!

Technique: Water Colours, ink pencil
Pairing: Faramir/Boromir
Rating: K
Warning: None

After having a long and thoughtful chat about sanitary issues in Minas Tirith (how the heck do they get all the water and fire wood up the mountain?) I felt the urge to do something that contains marble interior or a sort of Roman bathhouse atmosphere. Totally not my fault that in such an environmentpeople tend to be only half-dressed. X)

The background story: Well, I just assumed that Boromir would be a hell of a sparring partner in fighting lessons. From time to time he gets carried away by his own magnificence and then somebody who was actually not supposed to get hurt bears a “friendly” scratch. Of course afterwards Boromir is terribly sorry and turns into an awkwards little teddy bear – whereas his brother finds himself being the one who has to offer some comfort.

Lol, Boromir is all like, what have I done?!

May I just add that the idea of these two sparring has for long tickled my imagination in a variety of ways. There’s room for so many emotional nuances in such situations… Mmm, maybe you’d get inspired to depict that, too? ;-p

December    Sunday 25 December 2011, 19:42    #

Heheh, yes, I think Boromir´s life holds frequent occasions to say “What have I done?”! XD

Oohoooo… you mean… a scene full of tension, with emotions either narrowly hold back or unleashed? With tender care for each other blending into the will to maintain ground… I see, that promises to be an interesting tableau…. And just in case you happen to feel like sharing one or two of those imaginations – please do not hesitate! :P

A Challenge for Both (G)

By Raven22372

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


Finally – Book!Faramir!

Technique: Water Colours, ink pencil
Pairing: Faramir/Pippin
Rating: K
Warning: None

Long ago – well, *cough* very long ago I promised Iris a book!Faramir. For some reason inspiration decided to take the long way yet finally it came when I was reading the amazing The Gifts in small Packages – written by the also amazing December. I hope I won´t give away too much when I say there´s a beautiful scene in the last chapter in which Faramir teaches his squire (a certain Peregrin Took) how to shave him. A request that, for several reasons, puts poor Pips in a delicate predicament (and Faramir in the serious danger of getting his throat slit).

So, if you would like to accept, this one is for both of you.

Oh! Your book!Faramir is a bulky chap! Love it! Thanks for sharing

Iris    Sunday 11 December 2011, 10:59    #

Why yes, he is a warrior, right? ;) – However, confession time: I love drawing muscles and sinews and all the shapes you can see under the skin. Once I get carried away I would even equip Legolas with a sixpack!

— raven22372    Sunday 11 December 2011, 11:07    #

OMFG I laughed so hard when I saw Pippin’s face. He’s, like, totally blacked out xDDD Poor chap, though. Anyway, if I may, I’d make the humble suggestion to actually use his expression as the thumbnail for this work, the current icon doesn’t do it justice. Anyway…

Seriously, this is the best Christmas gift ever! (Don’t tell my mom I said that) Because, ridiculously enough, I’ve found this only now, and it is Christmas – must be fate, lol.

As for build, well, I’ve never found much explicit description pertaining to that question. We know that Boromir was big and broader in the shoulders than Aragorn while also being a little shorter. But then again, Aragorn was very tall and lean, so no wonder. Besides, it doesn’t say anywhere that B and F had the same body-type, which as brothers they may have had but then again may have not had. They were said to look alike – but to what extent…? Basically, all I remember of Faramir is that he looked very tall to Frodo and Pippin (again, big surprise), and that he was taller than his other three rangers (but we don’t have their heights for reference), and that he looked to Eowyn as an unbeatable warrior… So I reckon that as long as you make him look strong, anything goes and the rest is up to each reader’s own interpretation ;)

Also, there’s no saying Legolas didn’t have a sixpack. We never saw him naked, did we? Alas…

Anywho, before this turns into yet another one of those walls, or has it already? Anywho again, let me wrap this up with an enormous thanks and a crushing bear-hug! I never would have thought this story would serve as such strong inspiration for a Tolkien artist, and I’m boundlessly grateful for the time and thought you’ve put into this piece! Smooch!

December    Sunday 25 December 2011, 19:36    #

You´re so welcome! :D (smooch back) Heheh, I´m glad Pippin´s face expression works fine (though it cannot match the image of that scene you gave me). XD All the time I was pondering about a motif for book-Faramir without ever getting a grip on it and suddenly– bang! – there it was. The enormous amount of emotional and intellectual depth of both your fics and comments appears to magically fuel your fellow-fans´ creativity… :)

I was a bit insecure regarding (book-) Faramir´s physical appearance. It is often mentioned (partly in fanfic) that he is built less tall and broad than his brother – yet, as you said, he still seems to be a remarkable appearance. As far as I remember the timeline Faramir is about 36 (or was it 39?) when he meets Frodo and Sam. Given the war is over now and Pippin has returned to the Shire, lived there for a while and travelled the long way back to Minas Tirith, we can assume Faramir is somewhat about 40 now. I noticed that from a certain age the human body undergoes a suble change – it is not about getting bald and fat (at least not necessarily), rather about getting more… grounded. I could not explain it any better. Maybe solidity is good word. Like… less slender and lithe and therefore more settled in itself. And then I thought that even though he is mainly a politician now he surely would not stop practising his fighting skills so… I think adding a few muscles would do him no wrong. And yes, I would trust Legolas to challenge Gimli in a contest of caber tossing. Bet he would train for weeks! X)

— raven22372    Tuesday 27 December 2011, 17:52    #

I’d be more than happy to do anything I can to fuel the fellow-fans’ creativity :):)

To my knowledge, it is mentioned only in fanfic that he was less tall or broad than Boromir. I don’t rmemeber Tolkien ever addresing the matter, although of course I may be wrong. For myself, I have always imagined him somewhat more lithe and slender than Boromir, for intuitively it felt to me such a bulid would be more fitting for his stealthy rangering job, while Boromir was more into running out of the bushes roaring and brandishing his heavy sword – that’s my impression. My own inner image of him is that of someone with kind of like a pro swimmer’s body: tall and lean, with good muscle definition but without them bulging like those of a body-builder. He would be broad in the shoulders and have well-developed arms, shoulders and upper back, due to the archery and swording, but he would not look heavy or hefty. But again, that’s just my personal thinking, not particularly based on any hard data… As said countless times before, if K. Shmiel’s Faramir could come alive, he’d totally be my pick, but since that seems rather unlikely… Well, I’d say Jo Weil from Verbotene Liebe (especially the later seasons) would’ve made a very fine Faramir, both in looks and in acting, seeing as he is quite a superb actor. Fair enough, he’s not exceptionally muscular, so in my imagination, when seeing him as Faramir, I do add him a bit of gym-hours a week, heheh

Strange Guests in the Woods (G)

By December

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


An ordinary day on the job drawing to a close, when suddenly — who is this in the woods of Ithilien?

I’d like to dedicate this humble random sketch to Raven. It was thanks to viewing and bethinking me of your art, and getting some extremely kind things said about mine, that sparked me to pick up the pencil again. This came out. At least he’s clothed xD

If I don’t hate this too much by the time Christmas comes when I get my tablet, maybe it will develop into a more proper coloured piece.

Good Lord, that´s him! That´s exactly they way I figured book Faramir to look like! The thin sensitive face, the thoughtful eyes with that little lively sparkle – they way his mind seems to work all the time while his eyes are still observing what the woods reveal to him. And then the details of his clothing, almost palpable in their accurate completion, Arrows, belt-buckle, the seam of his thin leather gloves. Not to speak of the gracious hand that brushes away twigs and leaves – leave that look alien and familiar enough at the same time. :)

Also: the colour! The muted brown/red background absolutely fits the calm homely atmosphere and if my opinion is required ;) I would say there is no need to add any more colours. Yet now I have to be curious: I was under the impression you were a Photoshop artist (which means one of the people I admire boundlessly) but the background and the lines have almost the appearance of pencil on colored paper. So, if it is not too impolite to peek at your artistic secrets: How did you do it???

And the best thing of all: You dedicated this gem to me! :D And now it is my work-mates´ turn to ask: “Why the heck are you so blithe?” for I´m currently running around with the face expression of Peregrin Took after he has found a secret store of longbottom leaf. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please feel virtually hugged a thousand times!

— raven22372    Monday 21 November 2011, 11:18    #

Ooh!!! this is lovely! Faramir is so lovely here. I think I’ll just sit back and fall in love with him all over again:)

Minx    Monday 21 November 2011, 17:21    #

Oh goodness, thank you both for the lovely comments!! There’s already so much I want to change/re-do/touch-up, and I’m not even going to digress into the customary rant about how my scanner ruined everything and my camera did little better xD So yeah, thanks very much, your support is very inspiriting!

To your point, Raven — haha, hm, I too admire Photoshop people boundlessly, for I don’t count myself as one of their number, haha, no. Being on the whole a rather backward-made person, I’ll confess I look upon technology with a mixture of awe and mistrust. I don’t own a single piece of iStuff (there was an iPod once, but it drownded, which is maybe for the best…), and while riding in a saddle is to me more comfortable than walking, the arcane art of driving an engine-operated vehicle remains far beyond the beginnings of my petrified grasp. (You know, when they were screening the first film ever with the arriving train and people ran away screaming, I was there among the audience) Likewise, the first time I was attempting to make meringues under the tutelage of my mother, I remember myself proudly declaring that electric mixers are for sissies and probably the work of the Devil anyway, and I am going to beat my whites by hand, to which my mother was like, you do that, knock yourself out. So, yeah, I’ve still got this suspicion that Photoshop is actually powered by the energy of the screaming souls of the Great Artists of the past, for how else could certain awesome people make such inexplicable, mind-blowing art with it? Oh well, at some point I was seduced by the evidently infinite possibilities of the programme, but my interaction with it typically follows this monkey-in-the-zoo scenario of, hey, I wonder what’ll happen if I do this? — ooooh, neat! — wait, how did I do that again, where did that button just go? And the results of these random encounters with Ps are never remotely alike to what I had initially envisaged, even if in their own way not too bad. So, yeah, it totally humbles me that you might allow I actually did this in Ps. The answer is no, this is indeed pencil on paper, moreover, this is plain school-supplies pencil on plain photocopying paper, because I haven’t brought any of my art supplies to NZ and for the recent lack of need haven’t yet been to the local art store — and yesterday I was overcome with this sudden need to draw (for which I blame you ;p ) that was as insuppressible as when you have to pee after three pots of green tea, so yeah, I had to make do with what was there. And on this laptop I don’t even have Ps, so the contrast and brightness adjustment as well as the colour filter were done in the Windows Picture Manager thingie. I know, Sam would’ve said perhaps that it’s like drawing with your foot, but what are you gonna do…

More towards your point about Faramir (sorry, this reply is already long enough to roll up into a tube, but how can I possibly not pay homage to your wonderful commentary?). Indeed it always felt to me he should be to some extent thin and sensitive of face as you put it, although of course evidently manly and willful at the same time, because such is his character, is it not? These are qualities I find very hard to combine though, tricky, you could say, challenging. I love C.K. Chmiel’s depictions of him, I think she portrays intelligence and gentleness of bearing perfectly while still giving him this rugged ranger allure. I, alas, tend to gravitate more towards the former if anything, but perhaps enough practice will eventually overcome this :)

December    Tuesday 22 November 2011, 0:39    #

So it was you I ran into when I was bolting out of that improvised theater back then in 1895? So good to meet you again (shakes hand)! :D

Haha, yes, the blessings and curses of modern times! Even though I use Photoshop to correct some minor mistakes (like redundant lines or contrast) and despite of how much I envy the smooth flawlessness of PS pictures I can´t bring myself to delve into the mysteries of digital drawing. Sometimes I feel a little like fighting a lost battle; there is just no chance to work as quickly and impeccably as a PS artist does. Unfortunately the pencil offers no return key and if a picture is ruined up to a certain point – well, then you have to face the fact that it is ruined. And then again I must say I enjoy the process of conventional drawing. I work in a printing office, means I spent eight hours a day staring at my screen, so it´s a huge relief to me to do something more “haptic”. 

And since we´re at the intimate confessions anyway: Despite of the way I own my money I can tell you I still nurture a strange though profound mistrust towards the digital world. There is still a part of me that is unable to comprehend how a file consisting of 0s and 1s can be something real. If I would get the chance to treat our company server with a screw driver (which I surely will not) I would be very disappointed to not find any merry pixies in there who are busily carrying around the data packages. X)

Yet I am running off track. All I actually intended to say was: To me the fact that you created this sensitive and multi-layered portrait by using simple everyday´s facilities makes it even more precious to me. I think it was Terry Pratchett who once wrote something like: “Everybody can perform miracles with a magic dagger. But you need a true master to do the same thing with a common kitchen knife.” Allow me to bow deeply to your feet for a true master you are. :)

Those meringues. Those meringues must have been epic! And btw, there is so much to agree with and so much to tell and listen to and the only reason that keeps me from continuing my incoherent babble is the pity I feel for your poor bleeding eyes that do not deserve to read through all this. Just let me thank you again for this marvellous piece of art and I´ll be gone. :)

— raven22372    Tuesday 22 November 2011, 19:58    #

Oh, thanks darling, for writing me yet more compliments! Now I’ll have to try and make more stuff, to at least partially justify all the trust you put in me ;)

Indeed, I too have this typical digital-age nostalgia for the haptic life-style, when for every task and chore one had to undergo intense physical interaction with the world out there. I still remember how my grandma told me how once she bought a live chicken at a village market and then realised she 1. has no guts to kill it, 2. had no frigging idea how much time and effort it would be to pluck the feathers (not to mention the mess that gutting makes)
xD

Quite probably, a week of such life – scrubbing pots with sand, doing the laundry by hand in the local river, carrying water home in buckets – would have me seriously reconsider my views. But for now I can gladly indulge them, and draw myself out with the pencil :)

This was the first of yours I had seen; it haunts me to this day. Yes, I STILL think you are incredible artist! To get technical: I like your use of the shading and colours. It blended well and frankly told a very moving story in and of itself.

— MikoNoNyte    Sunday 29 July 2012, 21:20    #

Heheh, you know what? When I got this (higly welcome and way too flattering) comment I went back to that entry to read through the fic and look at the picture again. And my first impression was: Is that all? Really? How come somebody can feel so affected by it? XD What I mean is: I´m endlessly happy you enjoy it so much (and with enjoy I mean “haunt” ;) ) More: I always admired artists/writer/actors/directors who are able to rouse emotions without showing too much, but I never dared to hope I would be capable of doing this myself. Thank you so very much for your wonderful feedback!

Now, interesting suggestion about the snake/male sexuality thingy there! I was using the runic animals (found on rune stones) more as symbols of an ancient world but I think I like your idea better ;D

Faramir's Adventure - comic (R)

This started as a series of sketches to depict a Faramir hurt comfort mini story, and this is what it turned into. And then Iris encouraged a little commentary along side so here we go, the series of sketches and a little random text for them below that.

It’s a pretty corny little piece, regular Fara h/c :)

No idea how this came to me. Actually I was just experimenting with complementary colours and needed a motif. So…

Technique: Acrylic colour, pencil, Photoshop

Thank you! I´m glad you like it! :)

mmm, first of all, those hands and smiles suggest to me this is not fully a G story… ;) Or maybe that’s just me, wicked.
And secondly, can’t help but notice the lonely dark figure down below. Is he looking over at them? Is that the father? Suspicious?

Heheh, isn´t it good ratings are only given according to graphic depictions and language? If hands and eyes would be considered as private parts… I mean, more than private private parts… hallelujah! :D

I must say I take this as a huge compliment. To circumvent the radar by using nothing but hands and gazes… I like the thought I managed that. :)

Well, I believe it is Denethor though I´m not all sure. Actually he sneaked in at the very end, when that vast place looked a bit empty and needed a kind of eyecatcher. Just funny that I didn´t really made a conscious decision; he just popped up out of the blue. So yes, sounds very much like Denethor, if you ask me…

Thank you so much for the comment! And know then that I totally supprt your “wicked” worldview! ;)

This is beautiful! I especially love his gaze following her when she turns away and the little trick you did by separating the picture in two parts.

Plus: This is the second time within five minutes (!) I stumble across that poem (which I never heard before) and it is 4.30 in the morning. And now I´m pondering what this is meant to tell me…

I love this drawing, Beth! Thanks again for coming up with this lovely illustration of the two brothers (unknown to Eldarion), during this little adventure!

I love this one too! I think I told you already, but I love how you did both of their hair, and how you made Eowyn a bit the aggressor!

— Susana    Wednesday 20 July 2011, 3:08    #

Thanks again Susana. This one was a lot of fun to draw! Glad you liked it as well.

I love the faces – like Susana says, Eowyn really seems to be in charge here, almost to Faramir’s surprise, it seems. Also love the hands just under the surface of the water – very well done!

Iris    Friday 22 July 2011, 20:44    #

Thank you! I do think Eowyn might be the aggressive sort! I’m glad you liked it.

I went a bit experimental here. In the movie the scene is set in bright daylight but I tried to bring out the spooky atmosphere… anyway, now that it´s finished I have no idea whether it works or not. *apologizing shrug*

A little Time out (PG-13)

By Raven22372

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


To me the meeting of Pippin and Faramir is one of the most cute and touching scenes in The Return of the King…

By then they haven´t spoken to each other that much and considering that their little talk is a pretty unusual one. They´re putting their hearts right onto the table, completely free of mistrust or etiquette. Pippin must be glad to meet a friendly soul in this cold intimidating place where he´s a stranger. And Faramir – I think he just enjoys to lower his shield for a while and be all himself. I could easily see him taking a look at his non-existent watch saying: “Well, in half an hour my shift will be over and I happen to know a tavern down at the fifth circle. So what do you think about continuing our chat in the company of some Gondorian ale?” And then they´re sit there, emptying pitcher after pitcher. Pippin starts to sing some Hobbit drinking songs, even the ones he wouldn´t be allowed to sing in the Green Dragon before midnight and Faramir gets accustomed to the art of smoking pipeweed… cross-cultural training at work! :D

A Wizard´s Pupil (G)

By Raven22372

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


There is a moment in The Two Towers when Faramir tells Frodo and Sam about how he met Mithrandir when he was a child. This one was dwelling on my LJ for a while until I thought it could be worth some attention. ;)

“He got leave of Denethor, how I do not know, to look at the secrets of our treasury, and I learned a little of him, when he would teach (and that was seldom).”

There is a moment in The Two Towers when Faramir tells Frodo and Sam about how he met Mithrandir when he was a child. When I figure young Faramir I see an intelligent and sensitive child, lonely but enchanting in his own way. Strolling solely through the dark hallways of his father´s stronghold he must have met the wizard when Gandalf was searching old scrolls of parchment and century-old books close to fall apart. Of course at first he would be all grumpy old man, like “This is no place for children. is there no one to play with you?” When the boy answers “No. my Lord” (or whatever´s the polite way to address a wizard) it takes him a moment to realize that it is the plain truth. So he takes the kid in and teaches him what he knows about ancient languages and long lost kingdoms. Not long and he enjoys the company of the mindful child as much as Faramir enjoys his lessons. Later the young captain of Gondor will bethink of the candlelit hours he spent with the old wizard as some of the most precious remembrances of his childhood…

*Sniff* All those tiny stories within a great one… Could anybody please make a movie of this? However, I tried my very best for myself. Oh, and yes, I know you could mistake kiddie Faramir for Pippin. I wish there was more than only one haircut in all Middle Earth… >.<

Beautiful subject… and I love Gandalf!

Thanks for this lovely picture!

Nerey Camille    Sunday 22 May 2011, 23:10    #

Hehe, so do I… I wonder how he would interact with a kid; whether he´d rather play good grandad with sweets in every pocket or pretend to be Mr. Grumpy. ;)

Thanks for the nice comment! Feedback is the unexpected piece of chocolate in my weekday lembas bread! :)

raven22372    Monday 23 May 2011, 16:12    #

Very nice indeed. I did mistake Faramir for Pippin. But that is also good.

Alcardilmë    Wednesday 1 June 2011, 2:42    #

Thank you so much! :D And yes, I guess you´re right. While drawing it I suddenly realized that automatically every child-sized person in this surrounding must be taken for a hobbit – especially Pippin since he´s clad in a Gondorian armour. Tricky thing, actually I was a bit angry with myself because it didn´t came to me before but I´m glad it still works!

raven22372    Thursday 2 June 2011, 16:06    #

Oh, my gosh! Raven22372, I saw this beautiful drawing of yours once before, somewhere else—I can’t remember for sure, but I think it was at deviantart. Anyway, I saw this picture, and it burned itself into my mind. It spoke to me, and I knew instantly the first time I saw it that it was Gandalf and child-Faramir—I never for an instant thought it was Pippin, or anyone else, I just knew. (Were the Valar at work here?) Looking at this wonderful picture for the first time, I had the very same impressions you describe when writing about the inspiration you had in creating the artwork—Gandalf being all grumpy toward the little boy at first, before realizing that, son of the Steward or not, Faramir is to some extent a neglected child. This artwork of yours is so wonderful, and made such a great impression upon me, that it inspired me to write a story about it. “Finding a Jewel,” the story of how Gandalf and Faramir met for the first time. It is posted at fanfiction.net, and in the AN at the end of the story, I gave your picture credit for providing the inspiration for the tale. I could not recall where I had seen it, or even your entire “name,” although I did recall that “Raven” was a part of it, and I mentioned that. If you want to read the story your artwork inspired, I would be honored, and I hope you would like it. Even if you don’t, thank you so much for this lovely, touching, brilliant picture. Sincerely, Darkover

— Darkover    Monday 14 November 2011, 6:14    #

Dude! Such a long and wonderful comment! It deserves to be woven into a tapestry and outlast the ages in the Great Hall of a royal court! I´m flattered, delighted and speechless at the same time! To learn that you… you found yourself inspired by ME? Now I DO believe in fairies/the Valar/ The Great God Om! This is… it gave me such a rush of pride and happiness I spent the day running around with a huge silly ear-to-ear grin.

Why yes, of course I read your fic! Such an honour, how could I not? And I must say I found myself in, well, maybe not a deja-vu but definitely a fantastic coincidence. When Gandalf goes “Don´t call me my lord!” I had to check the intro I´ve written back then because IT WAS EXACTLY THE WAY I FIGURED IT! And not only that. Your fic gave me the rare experience of walking through my own picture. Little Faramir being all shy and hesitating yet already revealing a certain dignity I can see in the grown-up version. I mean, he admonishes Gandalf – Gandalf! – because of the candles! His love for books and his remarks about librarians – I couldn´t help thinking of the Discworld librarian here. :) The slightly playful and yet very Tolkien-like style reminding me of the scenes between Bilbo and Gandalf in The Hobbit – Great Elephants – haha! :D – that ´s priceless! And all the time I COULD HEAR THEIR VOICES. I heard them both speaking and it sounded as it was meant to be, as if that was exactly how it was

I still can´t believe this has happened – and have I mentioned you are such a skillful writer with a great sense for undertones? Thinking that perhaps I´d never known about it – bless me, it MUST have been the Valar who guided you. Thank you, thank you so much!

— raven22372    Wednesday 16 November 2011, 20:41    #

Haha, definitely not Pippin, don’t worry. Much as I love the imp, can’t imagine him in a library with candles and full of ancient tomes and scrolls without setting everything on fire (even if entirely by accident). No, this young gentleman looks by far more mature and responsible than our dear Pips.

To me this picture is very sad. The way Faramir is leaning at Gandalf speaks of a trust and need for affection greater than that of a friendship – this child looks at once so loveable and so underloved…

On the subject of hair – tough, indeed. I never saw any mention of what they did to children’s hair – we may allow that for boys of a certain age (typically 7, I believe) it was cut short like in our world’s Middle-ages. But then again, who knows? And personally, I thouth Pippin’s hair in the film was too long, I always had the impression Boromir’s shoulder-length cut had seemed unusual to the Hobbits at Rivendell…

December    Saturday 19 November 2011, 5:57    #

Oh Lord, yes, Pippin and an accident waiting to happen… When the library of Alexandria burnt down there must have been a Took around! XD

I say, you described this lonely child much better that I could ever do. :) I imagined him kinda enveloped by an aura of profound sadness, even if I don´t think he would complain much. It´s terrifying to see how much children are willing to accept if they don´t get a chance for comparison and grow up believing this is just the way it has to be.

Ah, Watson, that´s an interesting point regarding the hair! Indeed, now you´ve mentioned it I think that Frodo and Sam have a rather modern haircut (I´m not sure about it yet I got the feeling that if a movie is set in a medieval/historical surrounding they try to subtly adapt the leading character´s look to modern taste. For better identification, I presume). And Boromir… why yes, his hairdo must have looked unusual for the Hobbits! I´m not sure whether it is the length or maybe the fact that his hair is straight whereas Tolkien described Hobbit hair as rather wooly. And what you said about the hairdo of children in the Middle Ages brought back something else: Once I read that in earlier times it was customary to dress up little boys the same way as the girls until they had reach a certain age (which was, I believe, 6 or 7). Apparently this convention lasted a very long time; I remember a few weeks ago I´ve seen a photograph of some famous male person who was born in the 19. or maybe late 18. century (I just can´t for life remember who it was). The picture showed a littly boy with short hair wearing a dress. So maybe this was a practical solution for Middle Earth as well..? ;)

I cannot help noticing your comments are dangerous… they click all my buttons and make me happily ramble along. I beg your pardon for this and say thank you for the great feedback! :)

— raven22372    Saturday 19 November 2011, 13:31    #

I think it’s fairly safe to picture children’s hair whichever way one likes, since at least I personally don’t remember any specific references regarding this point. Personally, I most concur with K Schmiel’s depiction of everyone’s hair (and she also has the sexiest picture of naked Boromir ever, which is entirely beside the point of course) – but again, it’s entirely up to the artist :)

Indeed, I would also expect boys and girls to be dressed alike until a certian age for the simple reason of convenience. As someone responsible for a small child’s wardrobe, I can swear they grow like they’ve got a secret Ent stashed somewhere giving them the growing potion from time to time. YOu wake up one morning, and suddenly nothing fits. And back in the Middle-ages, when everything was custom-made by hand, and there were no Zara or Mexx to make reasonably good-quality clothes reasonably affordable, it would be too expensive and time-consuming to keep a full set of adultlike clothes for a child. How much the faster to just make a big loose frock-dress-shirt sort of thing and put it on over their head. As they grow it turns into a tunic that can be worn with breeches, then just into a short-sleeved shirt. Handy, eh? :)
BTW, Amir has an absolutely adorable picture of baby Faramir in just such an outfit, you must check it out if you haven’t seen it :)

Are you planning to have more pics of Faramir’s childhood, maybe with family members…?

Also, I’m trying hard to think who your Gandalf reminds me of… Were you using someone as a prototype?

December    Sunday 20 November 2011, 7:05    #

More Faramir kids? Uh-uh, now you give me a push into a certain direction… though I could easily give the same one back to you! A shy but charming black-haired boy – whereas I could care for the ginger/blond variation. ;)

Hmm… I think I know what you mean about Gandalf. The other day I had the same experience when I looked at him and thought, “My, who is it you remind me of?” Actually I had no special model, only a vague kind of “wise old man” prototype. I think there are some characters, like Gandalf or Frodo or Gollum, whose faces don´t have to be very accurate because they are in large part defined by a number of props. You know, small male figure with bare hairy feet, hood and cloak, ring on a necklace – hey, must be Frodo! Pointed hat, staff, long beard and long grey gown – no doubt, it´s Gandalf! You don´t even need to add the features of Sir Ian McKellen; everybody would just recognize Gandalf. Whereas Faramir, for example, is more difficult, especially because they book and the movie version differ so much.

Unfortunately I wasn´t able to find the baby Faramir picture by Amir – but yes, I know that marvellous picture of Boromir in the nude! :D Oh, and there are also some Boro/Faramir comics drawn by Karina Chmiel in which little Faramir is clothed in exactly that kind of all-purpose garment we discussed. And Theodred is wearing a literal dress – what Boromir, the nasty brat, is making fun about. Dude, those lady is such a genius!
(I assume you already know these works. Meanwhile I have become very careful in regard of sending people links. Mostly I´m the last one to detect something and when I´m running around the village banging my drum the common reaction is a mild “Come ooooon, we know that. Everybody´s known that for years!”)

Are you sure there IS no Ent hiding in the kid´s wardrobe? After all it´s New Zealand, right? And which place on Earth would be more likey (well, maybe except of Tasmania)? Have you ever checked your little one´s drawings for some suspicious “secret friends” grown-ups are not able to see? Just asking… ;)

The Forbidden Pool (PG-13)

By Raven22372

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


“To enter the Forbidden Pool bears the penalty of death.”
Faramir, The Two Towers

Alright, umm… why? That might sound silly but nowhere in the book I could find an explanation why the Forbidden Pool is forbidden. Maybe it´s said anywhere else so if anybody happens to know please drop by to enlighten me..!

Anyway: A night of re-watching the movie in the company of Scottish whiskey and good company brought the solution. So here is it.

P.S.: Plan B would have shown Faramir´s rangers mounting a danger sign that says “Forbidden Pool. Do NOT enter. Infringements will be punished with the full vigor of the law.”

Okay, the interpretation made me snicker. I always thought that it was forbidden because it was so close to the stronghold—anyone getting that close couldn’t be allowed to leave. I have no idea where I got that or if it was my own interpretation.

— Bell Witch    Wednesday 20 April 2011, 6:00    #

Thanks for your comment! :) Yes, that would make sense to me… I read it that way that the ban pointed distinctively to the pool itself – and I have to admit my interpretation was born from a high-percentage booze night so I wouldn´t insist on it´s verity. ;)

raven22372    Wednesday 20 April 2011, 8:47    #

Well, if I had a pool like that, waterfall included and all, I wouldn’t want to have Gollums swimming in it either. Just imagine how much it would cost to sanitise the thing afterwards!

Seriously speaking, I had always got the impression that it was something spiritual/ something to do with the pool being sacred, etc. I don’t see any reason why it would be though, given that Gondor does not come across as religious in that way. I mean, they do look to the West before they eat, but its not like they have shrines where they pray, they don’t make sacrifices or wear symbols of their faith, right? It did seem good in a medieval sort of way though, kind of spooky and harsh – “look upon this puddle, and DIE! No one cares why.”

December    Thursday 9 August 2012, 6:15    #

Yes, I think it must be something like that… X)

I´m afraid that now and then I feel an urge to lift the lid and blow a dozen shiny soap bubbles over all the heavy fatefulness. As much as I love the book, it was written in a different time. A time of war and looming death, of course, but also a time of dusty traditions and century-old “Because that´s the way we always did it”. Nowadays (which is only sixty years later. Dude, how swiftly time flies!) some ideas (particularly regarding war, honour, female roles) seem a little bit out-of-date to me. As Terry Pratchett once wrote: “Just because somebody´s able to work his way through a thorny thicket and kiss a sleeping princess that doesn´t mean he will make a good king.”
Indeed, teasing is a sign of affection. X)

I think Faramir came out especially well, he looks a very kind man.

Also, I don’t know if it was your intention, but it cracked me up to see the interaction between them. It’s as though Boromir’s looking at him suspiciously over his shoulder, like, what the heck are you so blithe about?

December    Sunday 20 November 2011, 7:09    #

Thank you! Actually I was just practising a little to get a grip on my reluctant noodle fingers and I´m glad it comes across with a bit of a special expression. Why yes, perhaps that is what often happens between the brothers. “Why are you smiling at me that way? Got one of your ideas again, didn´t you?” Heheheh, I could perfectly see Boromir getting VERY nervous with people laughing/grinning/smiling in his presence if he doesn´t know why. X)

— raven22372    Monday 21 November 2011, 7:06    #

Haha, yeah! Boromir’s got extremely little self-irony, hasn’t he? :)))

The black speech-bubble of Doom! Hahahaha

P.S. I knew this wouldn’t end well.
P.P.S. Boromir, you sure you really want him to come out? After all, he promised a long and painful death upon ye.

December    Friday 6 January 2012, 22:24    #

Indeed, this phrase is an endless source of joy! It can be used in multifarious ways, from road signs to “exam failed”! :D

P.S. Of course not. It´s Boromir we´re talking about! XD
P.P.S. Weeeeeeell… maybe he just assumes that a) it wasn´t meant like that or b) his brother is a soul too kind to get really angry..? Due to all we know Boromir is rather the kind of “I am so awesome and there is nothing I cannot deal with” guy. XDD
P.P.S. Which might turn out as a serious mistake. XDDD

— raven22372    Sunday 8 January 2012, 3:52    #

Hahahah. I have a feeling it’s going to end in one of those ‘oh what have I done?!?!’ for dear Boromir.

December    Monday 9 January 2012, 7:29    #

Very well perceived, Holmes! However, he´s supposed to be accustomed to this. “Better make an impressive, guilt-ridden hero than think before”, that´s Boromir´s motto in life… X)

Boring title, I know, but I somewhat ran out of inspiration. A big big SORRY to Chaos_Erevos who patiently endured my bad mood after noticing that I´d accidentaly erased an entire comic.

Poor Boromir. It’s apparently night-time, and if he goes shooting in the dark, obviously he will lose arrows, mwahahaha

Excellent work on facial expressions there!

Heheh, we know our dear Boromir, don´t we? If he wants something he wants it NAOH. ;)

I think he would just bundle some poor servants out of bed to lit up the archery range with torches. Of course he will loose the arrows anyway. XD

Thank you! I´m a terrible mess at drawing comics and I´m relieved I made it work somehow!

Wasted Expenditure (NC-17)

Given I haven´t entirely misinterpreted the book Faramir is what we could call a classical bookworm. It is common knowledge that eager readers are bright, sensible and educated people. Also true though less known is that sometimes eager readers tend to miss out on current happenings…

Or, this could be a subtle hint that you’re maybe not trying hard enough, yaknow Boromir?

PRFFFFFT X)))
Me thinks in that very special cae it´s less about hard ´hard´and more about finesse. I´m afraid good old Boromir works like a hoist in a 24-hour car repair shop: in, up, down, out. X)

Ahem… no. No, I have no idea what I was thinking. ´Twas one of those ´seven o´clock in the morning epiphanies´. Those ones that make me a) be late at work and b) run around with a silly widescreen grin for 24 hours. Afterwards I use to give up and do something about them. Otherwise people start to ask me questions…

Sing Hey! For the Bath at Close of Day (PG-13)

By Raven22372

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


I love taking slivers of dialogue and put them into completely different coherencies. This title is the first line of a bath song Bilbo Baggins once wrote (and right he is. Such a joyful hedonistic pleasure and such little cultural references to it!). It appears in the first book, I think Pippin sings it. Well, I´m pretty sure there´s a bathhouse somewhere in Mina Tirith. After all the warriors need a place to go when they return from a strife or a battle all dirty and covered with dust…

Tee-hee. Oh man, this is too good! How come no comments? What’s wrong with people these days? >:S

Anyway, I just love the mood of this piece. By the way, the title is perfect! And to think of it, this need not be a bath-house as such – I mean, given where things seem to be headed, wouldn’t these two be a bit safer in the confines of their private rooms where the walls are thicker, I presume, than in a public bath? ;)

December    Saturday 19 November 2011, 5:42    #

Heehee, I´m perfectly happy if I get a comment such as this! Seriously, you have no idea! Every time this happens I get a suspicious “What the hell are you beaming about?” from my fellow men. XD Oh, and right now I remember there must be some comments on my LJ, wheer the original cen be found. Dude, I totally forgot that!

Isn´t it so much fun to use lines from the book or part of dialogues as a title? I love doing that! And the bath-house… weeeeeell… I figured that, as it was in the Middle Ages, the aspect of body hygiene might be a more public issue – though it probably depends on the relative culture. I´m absolutely positive Bag´s End has two or three neatly equipped private bathrooms (on the windowless side).
So maybe we can just assume there is a special bath-house for the steward´s family and their closest friends. And furthermore, let´s assume that there are times when Boromir returns from a mission late at night, dirty and saddle-sore. Surely it is just natural for Faramir to greet his beloved brother with a nice relaxing bath. Of course all the servants have long gone to bed and kind person he is he would not stir them in their well-earned slumber. So he lits the fire himself, fills the tub, warms the towels, not because he takes it for his duty but because he enjoy´s giving Boromir a little nice surprise and maybe that little secret action in general. He might even offer some of the services the body servants are usually responsible and Boromir gladly accepts. Just that… oh, it seems Faramir is not that familiar with the work of a body servant. Seems he accidentally dropped the soap… or perhaps he´s only with intend to give a very hearty cleaning… think we have to get a little closer to find out…

Oh dear, what have you done? Such lovely comments can only provoke an immediate flood of images in my head! XD Thank you so much!

— raven22372    Saturday 19 November 2011, 12:42    #

Ah, he dropped the soap. But of course. How haven’t I thought of that?

I remmeber what I really liked in the description of Gondor was the repeatedly mentioned subject of hygiene. Faramir may’ve been amused by Sam washing his hair before supper, but at least all the men did wash up before eating. And also, in Pippin and Gandalf’s room there were bowls for washing. I assumed that for the more noble residents, there would’ve been a whole bath included :) But of course the common people could hardly have the luxury of owning a tub in each house, so there must’ve been some form of public service. For one thing, how could they get so much water and wood for heating onto a frigging mountain? Of course it would be more economical to do it on a bigger scale and get the folk together for the washing :D

So my understanding is that the boys have several possibilities available to them ;)

December    Wednesday 23 November 2011, 8:35    #

Funny you should mention the issue of body hygiene because it was only two days ago when thinking about our rich conversations I came across the same question. Of course, how do they get enough wood and water? (Geothermic activities. Okay, that was a joke. Although… mount doom is close, huh? ;) ) Not to speak of a sewer system – as you said the whole city is built into a mountain (taking a closer look I can´t help thinking it reveals a certain resemblance to an oversized, seven-layer wedding cake slammed into a rock).

Oodles of possibilities, I agree – or, as we say in my neck of the woods: Where there´s a will there´s a bush to hide behind. ;)

Спасибо большое! Очень приятно))))

That is lovely! I love the monochromatic colours; they really focus the attention. There are no superfluousness details to distract from the main subject: it’s all about these two brothers.

This picture could also be seen as another one of you challenges: “Write a story to match this pic”, with “We have the whole night ahead of us…” as an extra hint to the author… I know I’d love to read that!

iris    Friday 21 January 2011, 12:03    #

Ha, I know I’d love to read that too :) Thank you so much, iris, for your kind words!!

Backgrounds, yes, a tricky subject. In fact, I had been thinking of making this a more distinct location, most likely a… hayloft :3
Sneaking out to a hayloft for several hours of love on a fragrant summer night, getting straw in our hair…
But then indeed I thought, the place is not the point, and if one wants to imagine they are in a barn, one still can (I hope).

I’m thinking of drawing these two in a lake next time – then, I guess, the background will be needed :)))

December    Friday 21 January 2011, 12:47    #

Just perfect….

alcardilme    Saturday 22 January 2011, 5:23    #

Bless my soul! Is there anything you cannot do? The highlights! The shadows! The slightly steamy spotlight that implies the possibility of space, as if they were surrounded by the walls of a room even if it can´t be seen in the gloaming.

And you very skillfully chose the image section. It gives the picture a palpable warmth and intimacy. It makes me feel as if I had just become awake next to them, close enough to reach out and touch (which of course I woud never dare). Such a wonderful piece of art!

— raven22372    Sunday 20 November 2011, 8:52    #

Haha, apparently I cannot, for the life of me, make normal pancakes with the local milk. I’ve tried, I don’t know, two dozen times – they just aren’t the same (tears hair out)!

Anyway, I’m also quite strongly convinced I can’t draw – so compliments such as yours, Raven, especially coming from someone who seems to be specialising in the visual, well, it means very much to me. And it warms my soul, and makes me want to get the tablet out again, wipe the inch of dust off it and try to poop something out again xD

Thanks so much for the kind encouragement!!

December    Sunday 20 November 2011, 22:27    #

Another lovely one!!! However did I miss it earlier?? I love the colour and the shading and the kiss, and Boromir’s hands and Faramir’s ears. Very very lovely!

Minx    Monday 21 November 2011, 17:21    #

Wow, thank you, Minx!! It means a lot! (The ear was a bitch to draw, lol)

По-моему, он получился не очень напуганным:) На его лице застыло безразличное выражение. Нет, скорее, выражение смирения перед своей судьбой

— Anastasiya    Friday 21 January 2011, 8:37    #

Alcardilme, oh, me so glad you like! Thanks!

Настя, спасибо за коммент)) Да, я действительно отступила довольно сильно от описания Фарамира в исходном тексте, где он практически бьётся в истерике. По идее, его нужно было изображать с перекошенным, залитым слезами лицом, вытаращенными глазами и т.п. Но мне не хотелось рисовать его в таком виде, тем более что “испуг” это, на мой взгляд, не совсем то, что человек испытывает в такой момент. Мне хотелось передать как раз то, что ты описываешь покорностью перед судьбой и некую застылость его положения. Потому что именно ощущение неизбежности, беспросветности, невозможности хоть как-то защититься произвело на меня в данной истории сильнейшее впечатление.

December    Friday 21 January 2011, 11:28    #

I say, you have an incredible talent with lights and facial expressions! One can see nothing but a pale face in the dark and yet it´s all perfectly clear. The obvious spacial constriction, the way the character embraces himself proctively – and yet I can sense a subtle contradiction between the situation itself (Faramir hiding, looking lost) and his features. The strong furrowed eyebrows and the controlled line of the mouth speak of an inner certainty and steadfastness that will outlive the current predicament.

And again: cheek bones! You don´t need more than a hint of them; even minimalized to a faint shadow line they´re still giving the face its personality. To me the whole picture breathes the same gentleness and subtlety that also reveals in your fics. You´re an amazing artist/writer! :D

— raven22372    Sunday 20 November 2011, 9:09    #

Ooh, I’m humbled! (I’m kind of overusing this word lately, but what can I do when faced against one so generous with compliments ;) )
I’ve had mixed feedback on this one, so your kind words are especially appreciated!

And yeah, I wanted to make him appear a little more stoic and determined to live through everything than was the feeling that I was left with after reading the story this is as illustration for. Inaccurate and self-indulgent, surely, but I wanted to give myself hope :)

December    Wednesday 23 November 2011, 9:07    #

Mixed feedback..? Well, I hope it was nothing too soul-crushing. :) Personally all I can say is that it looks flawless to me in regard of both technique and atmosphere. And now that I have read your answer and look at it for the second time it seems even more expressive to me. First what I saw was a lost child. Yet this time I can feel his patience, the will to endure, the ability to retreat to the safe place inside himself until the storm is over. Whatever it is that happened to him, he will not let it dominate his mind. Imo you did not only give him hope but also kept his dignity and for that I am grateful. :)

— raven22372    Sunday 27 November 2011, 19:25    #

Thank you for that comment, Raven! And thank you double for your point about dignity. It always felt to me that for the absolute majority of the prominent characters in the Book dignity was sort of über alles. In fact, some of them went to such lengths to save it that they actually lost it. There’s of course a line where dignity turns into unhealthy pride, like it happened to Saruman, for ex. Still, you know, I was quite impressed that he denied Gandalf’s offer of help after his complete fall from power, and chose to be an opportunist tramp, but on his own, rather than seeking redemption at the grace of someone else. Likewise for Denethor, as I said elsewhere I believe, he was blinded by his need to go down with dignity.

And Faramir, it had always felt to me, had an amazing measure of very good dignity in him – and that portraying that was a necessary part of fanfiction-ing him in character. (Well, I guess we could make an exception here for voluntary suspension of dignity in certain intimate situations, although on the other hand, if it’s volunatery, it doesn’t quite count as a loss of dignity, right? ;) ) We see him go through very tough and controversial situations in the Book, and yet he does not lose face for a second. Whereas his brother… well, much as I love Boromir to bits, just how dignified is it to chase a defenseless little hobbit and shout vile curses at him (not to mention falling face-first on the ground)?

Thanks again!! Your kind words are endlessly inspiring. In fact, I have another piece of fanart underway, should be up in a day or two ;)

Minx, it’s for you ;)

I should make a little remark for the others that Eowyn actually doesn’t maintain the lead in Faramir’s pairings at faramirfiction.com, I’d rather say it is slash site. So, as my friend say, she shouldn’t laugh in such a carefree way, but she has to give a frying pan blow to him. :D I think the same. This… will happen… at the next moment :D

This really is a stunning piece – thank you so much for sharing!

Orcs dream to rape Faramir (R)

By lasher1974

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


err… this was born to go along my L.P.T.U.-H. recruitment poster… (league protecting the uruk-hai) an abominable misuse of Uncle Tom… (I might as well post it…)

“support a collective rape of Faramir: vote for us”
(better than declaring war to foreign countries, isn’t it?)

this was first drawn by hand, the uruks were added later, at first they were only sketched figures bearing the text “uruk-hai” where their backs should have been.
Then I coloured it on pc… it’s my first serious attempt at colouring something on the computer…
ahahahah
it sucks.

anyway… Faramir has light hair because i suck at colouring dark hair… and I kept figuring Dave while during it… *sigh*
and every orc should have his numbered ticket, so that they don’t raise any protest on whose turn it is.

jeez, I feel really a pervert now…
(but I still like the idea…)

I should stick back to my pastels… :nods:

Wouldn’t it be something lovely not to have to worry each time he departs the White City? To be absolutely certain that he will come back safe and victorious. He always does. Yet one’s heart can only hold out so long. One can only wonder with morbid dread about the day that he comes home still and pale and no longer breathing. Happily, he came back safe to me today. Death has not claimed him… yet.

This is amazing- you have really captured the love and admiration in Faramir’s eyes. Brilliant!

iris    Monday 17 August 2009, 20:39    #

I LOVE that you used book Boro/Fara instead of movie. I liked Sean Bean in the movie and I can go to him for Boromir, but Faramir can’t be anyone but ‘book’ Faramir in my head! (I can’t help it – I just see him too clearly) and his shining young face in this really fits for me! Great lighting on the armor -Well done!!

Sleeping Brothers

This picture comes with a question of great importance and I ask you guys to please think very severely about it: Does the great Boromir snore? If not, what is he doing there then…?

Of course he snores! Especially after too much ale. Look at how thick his nose is. Could he not? But then again, since we can’t see where Faramir’s fingers are in this drawing, who knows exactly what Boromir is doing. I mean, Faramir is smiling pretty happily and all…

— VanwaHravani    Tuesday 14 October 2008, 1:06    #

repeats exclamations of praise, yadayadayada Had a really close look at Boromir’s expression, nearly drowned in it, his face is so relaxed, so calm and peaceful, so maybe he’s really sleeping and snoring softly. But on the other hand, Faramir’s smile is so full of an enticing mixture of tender- and wickedness that it makes me think he’s doing something really nice to his big bro, something Boromir really, really likes…..
Well, it’s your drawing, shouldn’t you know what they’re doing winks

Again it’s the brothers of Gondor, this time quite a bit younger though. And awake :). My rough guess is that Boromir is something like 24 on the picture which makes Faramir about 18 then.

This is still a work in progress, but I wanted to post it to celebrate the archive’s 4th anniversary – and if I don’t post if now, it’ll probably stay a WIP forever, hidden away on my hard drive.

For the wonderful and inspiring Minx, whose fabulous stories got me drawn in to Faramir fiction in the first place, and whose steady supply of said fab fic keeps that interest firmly in place; whose brilliant idea it was to start this archive, and whose friendship I deeply cherish.

Also, many thanks to my tall, dark & handsome model;)

Thanks! You are both too kind!

I’m not sure what he’s dreaming about, but I think that if I ever get around to finishing this, there may be hints in the background…

Smirra, thank you so much for your comment! Great to hear you already like this sketchy unfinished version.

iris    Saturday 10 October 2009, 16:25    #

Thank you for posting this early, so to speak. It is one of things I am already noticing (and loving) about this site: there are so many WIP’s (and not just writing, which I think people post in progress more commonly than artwork). It can take a lot of courage to post unfinished artwork and I’m so glad you had it. I love being able to watch the progress of compositions and I think it’s helpful, as well, to anyone trying their own skill.
I don’t know if it’s the half fetal curl or the freshness of his unmarked skin, but he looks so young here, which seems to enhance his serenity. The foreground elbow is skillfully shaded as are the hand and fingers. Quite a feat in this position. That hand would be tough if you had this exact model laid out before you (which I hope you did-lucky you!) But if you had only your imagination to aid you, it is all the more impressive. If it’s alright with you, I would like to put a link to this, for my personal use, in my evernote: art>drawing>hands folder under the heading “see thumb”. It’s so well done

— Geleorwen    Saturday 8 March 2014, 19:33    #

Dear Geleorwen—
Thank you so much — you’re so sweet! And you write such lovely comments!

You make me glad I posted this work in progress back then. Though it was posted for the 4th anniversary, and the archive just turned 10, so it’s been 6 years without any progress, which also makes me feel a bit guilty… I’m horrible with posting WIPs and then taking years to finish them, if at all.

I have to admit, I haven’t drawn this from life or from memory, but from a photo, so it’s not such a feat but still good practise (though I did take the photo myself). The photo is from late 2001 or early 2002, which would make my model 23 or 24 at the time. So perhaps instead of finally finishing this one, I could do an updated version since my lovely model is now the same age as Faramir during the Great Years.

And sure, link away. However, I’d rather not see the image reposted as it’s quite intimate and I’d like to keep control over it (here I know I can remove it whenever I want).

Waves of Dol Amroth (G)

By Illwynd

click on the thumbnail for a popup of the full image


Illustration for “Waves of Dol Amroth I & II”. The phenomenon shown actually exists—it’s the result of a red tide with bioluminescent phytoplankton, and it’s really spectacular-looking at night. To my knowledge, it is more common away from the coasts, but I haven’t personally seen it there. The background for the artwork is a photo (not taken by me) of a red tide at night from when that happened around here a few years ago, which I messed with a bit in Photoshop.

Dear Smirra
When she put them on this archive yesterday, Iris very kindly emailed me your drawings from ‘Captain of Mordor’ (that I – well, wrote). I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was by the line drawings and watercolours. They’re beautifully done and the style is very attractive. The sketches, having less detail seem nicely ‘orcish’ to me and the watercolours are a treat to look at – I like that you’ve used those shades browns and greys – just the colours I was thinking of in the fic. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to comment on this, but I particularly liked the way you’ve done the seat of Shagrat’s pants in the second watercolour (not to mention his great big sword – that Uruk is looking good!) And Faramir resembles David Wenham, which is of course always excellent.
Thank you very much for sharing these.
Warmest wishes

Dear Draylon!

Thank you so much for your feedback! Wow!
I’m really happy that you like my drawings and watercolours. I’m reading ffiction for some years now but never felt inclined to draw something. Not because they wouldn’t be good enough, but some stories don’t need illustrations and with other stories I didn’t think I can produce something useful. I did these in 2005 and 2006, shortly after I’ve discovered your story. I was really struck by it, for many reasons, (I will comment at ff)! It’s heartbreakingly sweet but with some irony in it, too. Shagrat is just so sweet, also clever, I fell in love with him immediately! But I love your characterisation of Faramir, too.
I also love your style of writing, such a nice flow to the sentences I cannot even express appropriate. There are some nice pictures in your stories that intrigued me to do these drawings.
I thought about contacting you about these but I wasn’t sure if it were appropriate. I’d like to say much more, can I probably contact you on your hotmail address?
It really means much to me that you like them and think of them as a good addition to your stories. I’m glad that you like the shades of grey and brown. With all the rain in it and the darkness and Shagrat’s orcishness, there are really these colours in it. I also like your other Muzluk-Orc stories and these I imagine even more black and greyish because there are just the orc folk in it.
Watercolour is a good medium to create powerful but also transparent shades, I like to experiment with mixing all kind of shades together and get a different shade every time. Working with watercolour is tricky, you need some experience. The wet colour on the paper has a life of it’s own, you can’t control it so easily as oil or tempera and if you don’t add opaque white, you can’t fix or remove anything, I’m really careful with it not to do too much, therefore some things are left somewhat unfinished. But it’s not so much my way to draw things as detailed as a photo.
Thank you also for saying the style is “orcish”! All my drawings are just like that and I’m always trying to explain the way they look like- that’s just it, they are orcish! Yes I think they are pretty rough the way the lines go.
That is some arts teacher ‘s fault, I suppose. He did told us in his arts classes some day (in drawing a nude with a model) just to look at the model when we were drawing and not at all on the paper. I did just that and when I looked back at my paper, I was quite surprised because that was so different from what I used to draw usually. There were the details the swells of the body line much more detailed, closely. It was clear to me soon that I was drawing not what my eyes did see, recognise, but mostly what I thought a picture of a nude should look like, the way I had seen it in the books. After this my ladylike drawing style was spoiled forever! I did also do drawings at the theatre with a Shakespeare Company practising their new plays. I was trying to get the whole scene with costumes on my paper and had to work very fast, there was also the drama and passion in the air. These things had influence to my style of drawing. It’s an automatic passionate act mostly. I do a lot versions of the same composition and I repeat them until I’m satisfied. Then I do another one to put watercolours on. So the drawings you see are made before the watercolours. The first drawing is mostly the most automatic (depends on how relaxed I can work) the more versions I’m doing the more expectations I have in the process the composition/scene is going to become visible on my paper, so then the urge to control is stronger. I also de graphic design and I always say that this is civilized creative work and the drawings are passionate and not civilized, so that fits good with you saying they look “orcish”. They do express my orcish nature.
I hope I didn’t bore you with all my ramblings about these art works. Thanks again for your kind words. It does mean much to me that you like them. And don’t think anything you like to comment on, isn’t appropriate. I’m really happy that you like the look of my Shagrat and his- well, bum. As for his big sword on the second one: really looks more like some sort of phallus symbol than a useful sword- but well, as I said my drawing is an act of passion, I just have to cope with it, don’t I? g Just comment on anything you like here or at ff or with e-mail (you’ll find it in my LJ profile). I’m happy to hear all your thoughts. I’ think there’s probably some more I’d like to tell you with your hotmail E-Mail adress, if that’s ok. There are also probably one or two sketches, that I haven’t yet put up at ff, or here.
Thanks again,
Smirra

I hope you don´t mind me commenting an older work of yours. I was just strolling around and looking into the corners when I found this. Those two are so beautifully drawn and heeeee! :D – that fishy!!! I love when a picture contains a little story or a joke. Oh yes, I AM pretty sure this experience will change its whole little fishy-life!

Oh, this, this is one of the hottest things I’ve seen in a long, long time. I love the expressions on their faces, the posing of their bodies, the power dynamics, oh gods, the reins. It seems somehow almost understated in a way, like there is lots more going on under the surface, but also really not, because this = smoking hot! Oh MY….

* fans self *

P.S. I second Daraganyan, this SO needs accompanying fic…

Why has no one else commented on this? It’s gorgeous, and the sketchiness about it makes it that much more beautiful. Great job. ‘Tis very sweet.

Им было хорошо друг с другом… Мир вокруг них прекращал существовать, как только они видели друг друга… Они жили друг для друга! Вот, что вижу я на этой картинке. Просто великолепно и неподражаемо!!!
Thank you very much! It’s a little hard to me to express my thoughts on english – I’m Russian – but all your pictures are drawn amazingly beautiful!
I’d like to see new pictures of yours!

Thank you! It is a very beautiful drawing of my favourite moment in the book. I was so disappointed when it didn’t appear in the movie. You completely made up for it. :)
