I decided that I'll never get a bird when I found out that they wake up at 5 AM and tell you about it. I don't get up before 9 AM unless strictly necessary (unfortunately, it's often necessary).
Do muses count as pets?
As far as illustrations go, I'm like a four year old. I would love a nice life-like illustrated version of most fanfics I've read!! Or maybe a flip book. ;)
I just opened a new pack of Post-It notes at work the other day, and I thought about making a little flip-book out of it!
Muses definitely count as pets since pets are--as far as I can tell--pushy and noisy, a pain in the ass, always hungry, and noisy. And muses are all of the above.
I kept budgies for many years, so I know all about the waking at 5 a.m. bit. And one of my neighbors has a small parrot that has devoured her horizontal blinds.... o.O

LOL!! Sounds perfectly logical to me!
My friend has a parrot that sings "*thbth* Bird shit!" whenever it poos. *giggle*
Telvo and Nandolin on that rock in the woods in "By the Light of Roses." *evil grin*
That one's actually in planning, if I ever figure out how to deal with nekkid anatomy. So far, unfortunately, I'm grateful if I can hide my complete ignorance as far as anatomy and proportion are concerned under layers of clothing. I mean, Nerdanel in my latest pic was originally supposed to be naked because bathing in a dress at that point doesn't even make sense, but, yeah. Let's forget about that. *shifty eyes*
I didn't see your Nerdanel! Do you post your artwork somewhere specific? (In other words, where I could stalk you? *evil grin*)
In that scene in BtLoR, Eressetor is hiding in the trees, so you could always use some cleverly placed tree branches to keep it from getting too exciting. ;)
I usually post it at livingshapes, yes... at some point, I thought I might need a seperate art journal so I wouldn't spam my normal friendslist, and though this has long proven impractical (and probably unnecessary too), but somehow, that poor little journal feels so neglected, so I keep using it anyway. >_>
Ah, unfortunately, it's not just the "exciting" (or excited?) anatomy that's a problem, but anatomy in general. Torso muscles, rib outlines, shoulder blades and the like are just as impossible as are the nethers. ;) I figure I'll find some way to learn that, eventually, but currently I just don't have the time. *le sigh*
I've wanted for the longest time an "anatomy for the artist" book because--while I can draw well--certain aspects of drawing people always confounds me. So I feel your pain (though you're certainly better at all aspects than I am!)
O.o Amras is dead? Well thanks Nerdanel for calling him the fated one...
How are my boys doing btw? I know you must get bored to read me asking that over and over again, but it kinda feels I adopted them ;)
As far as fantasy animals go, of course, I'd keep Elves
LOL mind --> gutter ;)
Oh! I didn't read half of by light of the roses (because of the adult slash warning). I do - by means of your words -have an image of Mandos, but I only can attempt to create an image with using words because unfortunately I cannot paint of draw. I used to be good with that, but that was 15 years ago, if not more.
I have a few scenes I'd love to see illustrated, and I have my fav artist in mind, but I can't pay for the commission request. Maybe one day I can.
Hmmm nice meme's. Nr 5 sounds very lovely btw, I so have a different view of that one LOL! To come, a bit in Requiem, I hope... *wanders off to muse on the meme*
Aww...the fishies are great! (I left you a detailed run-down in another comment.) I'm glad that you ask about them 'cause it feels that Alex steals the spotlight sometimes.

Does that mean that you read some of it? If so, I'm shocked! In a good way! :) Though that poor story is in serious need of revision.
You might be better at painting than you expect, if you used to be good. "Physical ability" memory--like riding a bike--is stored in a different place than verbal memory, so it tends not to be lost. I used to do artwork all of the time when I was younger, but I just don't have the time for it now. I wish that I did. :( It'd be cool to illustrate my own stories rather than waiting for the good graces of my talented friends!

I think I read the first chapter, but then I read it would be very adult slash or somewhere you put out warnings. Since that isn't really my thing in Tolkien fan fic, I quit reading. I do read general tolkien slash (up tp pg-13) because the emphasis is very different. Yes I know that I do beta a nc-17 slash story since a couple of months, but for me going through things as a beta or to read it are two separate things. Also, I happily read it when it is canon in a fandom. So eum yeah, I am weird, it just makes me feel very uneasy with Tolkien characters. Please don't be too shocked, you sound so surprised every when I leave a review for a general-rated tolkien slash story for you.

I just know that Tolkien slash isn't your cup of tea. :) And I was really surprised to hear that you'd read even a bit of BtLoR since that was unequivocally adult!
Fingerpainting sounds like such fun! I think I did that a bit when I was a kid.
