Description My version of Legolas.
It's not exactly how I picture him, but it's the closest I'm going to get with my present skills.

All this fan art is very odd for me. I must be reading The Lord of the Rings right now or something...

I love it when people personalize Legolas, de-bloom him, I mean. Great job. I really gotta start drawing him more. I do have a few of him and I am currently working on him for my advanced color pencil class. I'm posting him little by little.

Your version of Legolas is better than Orlando Bloom.

Beautiful. I really love your details and his eyes is so full of emotions. his boots look a bit like "cowboy boots" if you know what i mean ^^, though not a bad thing, it's just me who have just seen a bunch of cowboy pictures in school, and wouldn't have notised if I hadn't

That looks great I love how he looks gorgeous, but you don't want to get too close because he really does look dangerous.

I mean, I do love Orlando, but in LotR he is a bit of a pansy

The movies are great. But I highly recommend reading the books someday.
The elves are way hotter in the books too

Thank you!
Any bookstore will have them. You could probably find them in a second hand bookstore. Or if you know anyone that likes to read fantasy, I'm sure they would have them They are a must read for sure! ^_^

^^ ooh, hurrah! I loved Legolas, and I love seeing all the different interpretations of him, or at least, the decent ones. Again, LOVE the costume, and the bow! Bows are awesome, but I really like this one; it's got a very elfin quality to it. And kudos for the hands again (the bane of my existance...those and feet...)

、よう ど。。。 <-- Ok, that's what happens when you leave other keyboards on...um, right. I could delete that, but i thought it was funny that I was so absent minded. anyway, yes, you do have a penchant for good hands, how do you do it? Do you just draw it, or do you have a particular technique? like circles or boxes? I'm constantly trying new ones, but unless I have a real live model (not always possible with certain poses) it gets really difficult for me...>👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nolwen In reply to Hexe-Cobalt [2008-02-12 03:46:49 +0000 UTC]

Does that mean you have more then one keyboard? 'cause I want one that types like that!

But hands. I just draw them. A lot. I kinda use my own as reference, but only when it's at the right angle. I am horrible at using references in general. I've never tried boxes and circles.
Though, I usually start very sketchy, until they get the right general shape. But I do that with the whole drawing. If I didn't clean it up at all, it would be more a mass of sketchy lines then it is already

Hexe-Cobalt In reply to nolwen [2008-02-12 08:29:25 +0000 UTC]

no, i have one keyboard physically, but more than one input system for it, which i can switch between. heh. But ah well, guess there's no help for me. I'll just have to keep practising and practising until I can do better!

Yes, I was trying to get away from that. I mean, I have nothing against Mr. Bloom, (he did a smashing job of Legolas, for a mortal) but he's not MY Legolas.
