I was looking up a word in Quenya today and found this wonderful English to Quenya Acrobat thingie. For those of you who ever need that pesky word in Quenya...this is the thing to look at.

Let me know if you like this or think you will use it. I found it really helpful.

*nod nod*

So I have been in correspondence with a 3-D artist. Rogerio Gasi, from Brazil who does wonderful work. He has done renderings of the heraldry of Tolkien's elves, mainly first agers but some others.

Here is an example. I am using Fingolfin as I am a fanatic about him. *grin*

Quite incredible. I am posting this entry with the other version of it that I have seen so you can see the difference. It leaps out at you this way. Just great.

More of these can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/otsoandor/Heraldry.htm

So in all this he gave me a JPEG of one of Tolkien's original sketches of Melian's heraldry and I thought it would be fun to make an icon of it. I know there are lots of Tolkien-peeps on my friendslist, so feel free to grab this if you want it. I am also posting the big picture of the sketch so you can see it. He really was a good artist...I need to look up more of his art.
