What a day!

Two of my favourite flisters have their birthday today! mrstater, who is the heart and soul of the R/T community, and like our own private Molly Weasley makes sure that we are all comfortable and well fed (with fic instead of cake, but still ;)) and dawn-felagund who opened her home to me this summer and is a constant source of inspiration to me. I come bearing a gift

Thank you so much!

[heartofoshun]

Those are absolutely beautiful. Wonderful, wonderful job. Wow!

[hrymfaxe]

Thank you very much - I distinctly remember reading Dawn's story and feeling sure it would do well as a short graphic story. I'm glad you think it works.

[heartofoshun]

It was just perfect! (I'd love to collaborate with with you sometime on a graphic story--I am not so great at shorts, but would be willing to try for such a end-product.)

[hrymfaxe]

Oh - that is a really interesting idea! :D I would love to do that as well. Your elves area always begging to be illustrated.

[train_lindz]

Oh, these are pretty. Well done!

I really need to read the Similarion. It's on the shelf and I haven't managed to read it through osmosis yet.

[duck_or_rabbit]

You really should; I need to as well. Love the elves more than ever now after fangirling over them with hrymfaxe and binkaslibrary.

[train_lindz]

My book shelf is rather scary. Far too many books on my to read list, and then some one always mentions something else that I have to add on :)

[hrymfaxe]

Wheeeeeeee spreading the elf love!!! :D:D:D:D:D If a few days with Binks and I won't do it, then nothing will. ;)

[mrstater]

Aw, thanks so much, sweetie! I'm a lucky girl to have LJ pals like you. *is misty*

[hrymfaxe]

Right back at you! ((hugs))

Guh, I cannot even properly express how much I love this. Knowing the journey of this comic is really touching to me, as I saw it when it was no more than two white drawing sheets. Seeing how far it came from the beginning to it's completed form boggles the mind. One thing is clear: you're more artistically productive when I'm not around, lol

[hrymfaxe]

Hehehe, yes you have seen the awful truth that is me procrastinating! Though I may have been worse than usual, because the company was such a good one. ;)

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm glad you think the opposition between the pages works, because I was feeling that I was rather hitting the reader over the head with it. :D

I'm also happy that you are seeing motion and movement, and a rythm to the drawings - it means that I have made these moments in time into a whole, which was certainly a challenge. (and I like the armour for the elves too - you can thank my long hours at the Met for that one - reference pictures rule!)

I like those panels too for the interaction that goes on between the caracters, while the rest show the persons isolated... I was trying to give you only brief looks at what was happening to Finrod as I feel that he is not able either to see a whole picture, confused as he is by wounds and dreams.

Thank you so so much! :D

It is gorgeous honey, so much emotion and pain...

[hrymfaxe]

Thank you so much, Rhapsy! :D I'm glad the piece speaks to you.
