The banner's linked to my profile. XD That reminds me, Phoenix and I need a little chat about Alagos (he's resembling Phoenix's dad more and more each day)

My graphics tablet and I are getting on better this time round. It's not all that great but it's not bad considering I haven't used a tablet in years. I thought I'd lost it but then dad was like 'it's under my desk, obviously'. I was like 'not obvious, but thanks'. I has it back -glomps it-

[/url] A lot of the detail's missing from this size so the image is hyperlinked to the original size. The colouring's pretty rough but then so's the linework. There are several other things wrong but the main one is that Thranduil's hair's far too brown (I tried putting a face in but haha no). He walks round barefoot a lot when wearing this (I don't know why either) so that's why there are no boots, and the fading out colouring is an attempt to fade out the drawing which didn't really work. But the main thing's the robey-jackety-tunicy thing so it doesn't really matter.

Whoa, that's pretty awesome. But I think the limbs are a little off? The elbow seems pretty low for the body, and I think his limbs are kind of long. Just remember that all hands touch the middle of the thigh when the arm is fully straightened It's always helped me to have a reference, of course. Or just watch people like a creep.... but that's optional. I like the general design, though. The belt is gold-trimmed, right?

Thank you! I have to admit I drew it over a proportions chart thing so maybe the high belt and flared skirt are skewing it a bit? But yeah, I do need a lot more practice. Watching people like a stalker sounds fun... And thanks again; it is XD I almost made it blue but meh -bops happily-

Comma's been making post formats so I've got the bug. But this isn't a format because he isn't a muse (I dread to think what Eldu would do if he ever became one...) I just like the colour scheme. So it's going here and will never have scroll bars or anything. It's just practice, made because I think the formats with large background pics other people have made are really pretty, so it's a bit rough around the edges. I got the dimentions wrong so I had to narrow it about 3 times... that got boring. And I'm ill so I've been doing layers and stuff in the wrong order... I can see 3 problems with it already, but even though I have it saved with its layers I cba to fix them.

I've done one for Thranduil, too. It's not finished yet - I need to put lyrics in and probably change a few more things. I might put a blur around the edges or put a boarder on like the one round Maedhros' or something. There are three versions. I've shown my favourite as a picture but the other two I'll link so the post doesn't become uber-long. I like the sepia one a lot too but I think sepia and mottled is a bit much. mottled"] sepiamottled and sepia

This is how it came out. It looks much better than I thought it would. I broke GIMP I kept altering things so many times. Happily, even though I lost the boarder and stuff, what I'd decided to keep in the end took 5 minutes to do again. I love it when that happens... though obviously I'd rather GIMP didn't spazz out in the first place... anyway. I've been doing this all day and I'm going to stop now or I'll start freaking out.I'd like to put scroll bars on this just to see how it comes out but I don't know that the text would show up and I don't know how to do scroll bars nohow >.<
