I will post some of the maps I have when I get home. I am currently on vacation, well sort of.

I can't draw maps very well, but I'm okay at little chibi cartoons.

Here's Túrin and Gwindor by Lake Ivrin by me and here's Melian and Thingol in Nan Elmoth by Aganzir. I believe we both have more art to share if we ever manage to scan.

PS. What about the paper telephone thread?

I am quite disappointed we didn't get any more art samples. Come on people, I'm sure there's a lot of you out there who draw or paint. It doesn't have to be perfect to be worth posting here.

Encouraging you with two recent sketches...

Galadriel seeing the Eye in her mirror

Beren and Lúthien

Drawing the first one took some time, but I made the latter in a few minutes. So, just scribble something and post it here, or scan/photograph your old pieces of art and share...

Now.

Here's a couple of mine. Mind, these were scanned while in my sketchbook, so the quality's pretty bad, but...

This is Vana Everyoung:

And this is Arien the Sun-maiden:

Yay, nice to see more art.

There's something about your Vána that I like a lot - maybe her expression which seems young and wise at the same time. Good work!

I can't paint or draw well, but I do love to create textile art. Here's my "Tree and Leaf", inspired by Tolkien's short works "Smith of Wootton Major" and "Leaf by Niggle". It's an appliqued collage of commercial fabrics (with a photo print of Tolkien on both objects), overlayed with a sheer fabric to represent the fragile, slightly askew relationship between Faerie and the real world.
