Browse the internet for Frodo stuff, and what do you find?
OK, Here I have been -- avoiding writing my tiresome chapter -- and the internet (as ever) has been calling. Now, I have an LJ, I have access to the links of friends, but also to friends of friends, and to friends of those friends' friends, and so on. Browsing for anything Frodo-ish, I found out more than I have wanted to know, perhaps

I sent you a PM at K-D, but it is redundant now.

Actually, I believe that is a pencil sketch - I've seen it before and the artist does some lovely things, but that is one of my favorites.
You've seen this before and know the artist's work? It's a pencil sketch?
Wow! I confess I thought the pubic hairs peeking out at the extreme left looked very much like the sort of hairs and curls I've been trying to make using the "clone brush", making the "Art Travesties". But thank you for that note. I will edit it into the Journal Entry.
Ariel, as a matter of LJ form or etiquette, etc., if I find a picture like this, the way I did -- just Googling around -- is it all right to post it this way? Or do I need to track down the artist first and ask permission? If so, I will take it down.
Thanks!

As for the netiquette involved in photo sampling like that, I think it depends on the artist. Some dislike their work reproduced in any way and prefer you to link to it, others are more generous, though I am sure all want to be properly credited. You'd probably have to ask the artist involved, but I personally think you've credited it very properly and she has no reason to be upset. JMHO, though.
I also sampled several of yours that way *wink*. Properly credited, of course!

Perhaps I will look around for something about for this artist; if I see a link or contact I could ask her, and, see if she has done others this nice.

I did write in SW fanfiction back when I was in my teens - it seemed appropriate then, but after I outgrew that (or was slapped in the face by its juvenile nature when Jedi came out), I didn't think anything else would draw me back into fanfiction. It took a BOOK that was mature and deep enough to interest me and a film that rekindled the interest in enough other older fans to get me writing something again. I am delighted to be doing so, but I really can't see anything in Harry Potter, or any other work I can think of right now, that would make me want to write fanfiction about it. Ms. Rowling's books are interesting and fun, but they are about as far as I care to delve into her world. I agree, Mariole, it's just not deep enough to hold my interest either.

That is what I love about it! It has the most raw and honest emotion in the face - they didn't worry about 'looking like' the actors, but they look ENTIRELY like the characters as I always imagined them. I adore it!

But LOTR.....my passion for all things LOTR has abated only a tiny, tiny bit in the year and a half since the last film. I have had to cut down on the fanfic reading because of time constraints, due to the fact that, sadly, I have to fulfill my duties at work and home. The pics in this post take my breath away and make my heart ache, just as much as ever. The Frodo in my mind's eye when I read the book now is an older, wiser version of Frolijah, and that makes me very happy.
