Blaaaaah. Working on a new project that I'm kicking myself for now. I'll probably love it later, but I hate all the time I have to put into it when I know I have other stuff to do. Like how I should be in the shower right now instead of poking on LJ. e.e Anyway, new icons also (had to take a break from the monotony of said project). I found this random guy on some site--I think it was Ecthelion--and he's cosplaying as Fingolfin. It was perfect...except that, ya know, he had BLONDE hair, and Fingy isn't blonde. So it was a nice challenge 1. making the wig look like reasonably real hair and 2. making him dark haired while keeping it from looking fake. Voila. Also putzed with his sword, 'cause I wanted it to look a bit shinier like mithril. I chose Theoden's quote from TTT 'caus it seemed appropriate, I imagine the sun rose red for the first time after the incident at Alqualondë.
Okay I'm done geeking out now, promise. For non Tokien geeks, this guy is Galadriel's uncle.
