A picture of the Two Trees

Ninquelote · 01-15-2004, 09:12 PM

Something I doodled today. It's partly a copy of something I saw in a certain movie...

The Two Trees of Valinor, and The Silmarils

It's titled "tattoo" because that's what I hope to permanently scar onto my back one day.

Cool. I like that very much.

Almost reminds me ofthe asian (can't remember specifically which culture) tree painting art but instead of having everything so angular it curls up on itself to give it a more graceful feel.

That would be an awesome tattoo! I know an artist in Houston who would do it really good too. But, yeah, that is cool as hell. Where did you come up with that.

(oh, and if you want the artists info, just PM me.)

They look like they are dancing! Ballet trees....Pretty!

I'd stitch a beautiful crewel needlework...no tattoo for me! ouch!

Ooh, I have various sources of my inspiration. Mainly the Silmarillion, of course.

But I got the art idea from watching The Lord of The Rings movie, which has awesome props and, I think, really captured the art of each race very well. Also, the Doors of Durin gave me a visual for this.

That's a really nice painting! It's like.. dancing. Wonderful.

That would be a beutiful tattoo! All ver the back.

Ninquelote · 01-17-2004, 12:20 AM

Op, not a painting, a drawing! I colored it in photoshop. Thankee for the compliment.

Eärloth · 01-20-2004, 05:02 AM

That is so cool and oh. my. god: my sister drew a pic of the two trees totally like that just the other day...except for that the branches were intertwining. Excellent!

Ninquelote · 01-21-2004, 07:31 PM

Er... thanks? o.O

Seregond Angathol · 01-26-2004, 04:53 AM

That is a marvelous drawing
It would make great cover artwork for a special edition 'Silmarillion' or something.
I agree with nerdanel, it does seem to exude a certain 'dancing' quality

Really? Thank you! The Two Trees are my favourite entities from The Silmarillion.

Ninquelote, I'm very very very very sorry I havent gotton that info. It has been hard to communicate lately, I will come through, though. I am sorry, I bring dishonor to my family.

Ninquelote · 01-28-2004, 08:42 PM

Don't worry about it! I can wait.

Beor · 02-21-2004, 10:51 AM
