Drawing and Fandom and Women

Jan 24, 2010 03:09

Happy Birthday Cairistiona!

I'm not going to even try to compete with you, screenshot wise, so I instead typed Aragorn for you in the 'Most Popular' search bar on dA and you can look at all the beautiful pictures of Aragorn! Including mine on the third row. And there are over 8000 drawings with 'Aragorn' in them! Granted, not all of them are good ( Read more... )

That drawing is very creative! It makes me smile.

Glad you like it :)

Hee, I like that drawing!

And I like that post too. A lot.

ainu_laire January 25 2010, 09:07:15 UTC

Yea, it was a good post.

Thanks XD

I did not know there are so many great Aragorn pics around on DA! Hehe, I love your Strider-versus-Trotter drawing! :D I'm already looking forward to seeing your drawing of Aragorn and Halbarad (there's really a blatant lack of Halbarad pics/drawings in this fandom)!

ainu_laire January 25 2010, 09:08:54 UTC

Oh, there are tons! It is wonderful eye-candy.

The lack of Halbarad drawings is disappointing. Imrahil, too, but I don't like him nearly as much XD

Great idea for a drawing! And some interesting stuff at deviant art.

ainu_laire January 25 2010, 09:09:14 UTC

Thank you XD And dA is a great place to find wonderful illustrations.

LOL!! I love your Strider vs Trotter! It looks a bit like Trotter's got the upper hand. *g* What a cute drawing.

And wow, that's a LOT of Aragorn on dA! I'll have all kinds of fun digging through those--thanks!

I read that post at Michelle's LJ... going to have to read it again and comment when I have the time. I don't like to diss Arwen either, although I don't tend to write many female characters. I don't have anything against them, per se, but I just find the men more interesting. But when I do have a female OC, I'm not really worried she'll be taken as a Mary Sue. I try to make sure all my OCs are fully developed, male or female, and that usually takes care of any Mary Sue-ness.

Heh, but we know who wins the battle :P Yes, enjoy the eyecandy XD

Well, you're a good writer, so you definitely don't have to worry. And I imagine that your Arwen would be good, too.

Thanks! One of these days I really need to figure out how to write Arwen.
