Gríma was a lovely idea, thanks Nerwen I still have to decide between him, Éomer and Ghân-Buri-Ghân

Leaning towards Éomer at the moment... But not at all decided yet. When do I have to know?

Btw, lovely avvies people

Fine, I've made my decision.

Éomer it will be.


EDIT: Hey, I seem to have become a Wight!!

Congratulations

And I have added your character in the list.

Well, where are some people to join? I would like to start ASAP. Does anyone have some good tips on whom else I should ask to join?

If we start until that time (which I would like to), I can make a break on these days, or at least on some of these days. As Aganzir says, I think that would depend also if someone else is going to be missing over Easter. So, anyone?

How about we make it easy, and both agree that Gildor is Italian.

It reminds me of a long, long time ago, when I had art class and the assignment was to make a clay bust of ourselves or a random classmate. Mine went through this weird phase of looking like an old french man, then he turned into 'jesus'. Needless to say my art teacher was okay with it, but mostly confused.

I really wonder what Radagast is going to look like though. Any bets?

What's so funny about Lobelia?
I think it's neat and kind of amusing, considering what happened when Saruman set up camp in the Shire (sort of like Lobelia getting her say). Though, I really hope you include *your* pink umbrella. It wouldn't be Lobelia without her umbrella.


Thanks for reviewing the horrible drawing everyone, I posted it so late at night I probably wouldn't notice much.

Well, maybe the standards of a 'horrible' drawing have changed, but that doesn't look retarded. He's quite putting Aragorn to shame.

Though, it's Anke-Katrin Eissemann. She makes all of us feel inferior.

Hope this works, if not well, you can always draw your own.

For example, the pictures I found of Radagast made him look like Santa Claus crossed with Sasquatch. Needless to say, the matter of making my own became top priority.

And very good it is, too.

Meanwhile Agan's new avatar looks pretty much the way I've always pictured Lobelia.

Hmmn. Théodred and Éomer. I foresee that we're going to be hearing a lot about horses...

I quite like the picture of him by Quinton Hoover - I have it on my page, you can look it up here. Even though he looks a little bit like Vinnetou, I like him. The question is, whether it will look as good when you make it smaller...
