I'm glad you like it! I was a bit worried that nobody would get it, since when I showed it to my brother he couldn't figure it out at all.

Ka, the reason it came out so well is because I draw them on a grid. I learned how to do them when I got this book out from the library last summer. I started out just making the ones in the book, and then started designing my own about 6 or 7 months ago. In fact, I'm in the process of designing a pendant with a similar knot on it for my jewelry making class, but that's another story...

Oromin, that's a really nice pic. I'd imagine that drawing complicated knots like that can make you crazy... Sounds like fun!

I've approached a couple of our fellow Downers from a canine perspective. Can you guess who they are?

Very cool, spawn. Laitanyel.

I particularly liked the Eomer one. Verily do I mourn the loss of that Avatar. The Fordim one was also nice though.

Spawn, I'd say the first one reminds me of Fordim.

The Second, only person who comes to mind is the one with the snoopy avatar...Mr. Eomer of the Rohirrim.

Good drawings, I only wish I was quasi-artistic.

Thanks guys! You're right, the first one is indeed our favourite pollster Fordim and the second one is an Auspicious ex-Snoopy in a kilt ie. Eomer.

edit: Oh, Eomer has changed the Snoopy avatar back. Yay!

Apoligies to the 'mystery BDer' for the attempt at a likeness, but, as usual, I plead no time.

Hopefully the general idea was gotten across well enough...

p.s. For some reason I can't even access deviantart from my home cpu anymore so I hope the link works well.

p.p.s. Fordim, I'm working on one of you but, well...time.

Is it just me, or is the preening lad looking scarily reminiscent of a rather phantomic member here?

hehe I like that one! It really conveys the narcicism of Orlando Bloom.
