Description this is GREAT to say to telemarketers.

this was done about a week ago, and it illustrates the scene when Mandos curses the Noldor after the Kinslaying at AlqualondΓ«. (most of them deserved it too.) it was very lengthy. the one on the cliff is Mandos, and the head in the foreground is supposed to be Feanor. the one on the bottom right is finarfin.

was done with #3 brush and india ink for the lines, and prismacolor markers for the halftones. the lettering was done by a size small Faber-Castell pen. took forever to do.

How is this a telemarketer trick? Just curious. I loved this. You've captured the mood of it.

It's a bit long, but I agree, this would be the Ultimate Telemarketer Trick.

Yup. Except nowadays telemarketers are digitized voices.... at least the one's I've got.

Sometimes the bill collecters you might get if you get an older phone number will be real people. The ones I used to get always asked for Shalandria Cohen. Until my mom cussed them out for about fifteen miles in her car. xDDD

O wow. XD But seriously? Shalandria Cohen? I'll need to hold on to that name. And being a telemarketer must be an extremely unrewarding job...

Yes. Quite seriously.

Yeah, must be... xD

....to say to telemarketers...?


Now i know what to say to any that call in a house without a caller ID or answering machine. See how quickly they hang up. c:

Wow, this is fantastic! I wish I was more technically informed about art and could say more, but I should probably just keep quiet. Thanks for much for sharing this.

Nice! I love the style of the landscape, and the subtlety of the colors.

Mandos takes the fun out of everything. ;_;

"all things end in doom." I like the way he's just very somber, not evill-ish.

Yes, he's very objective about things.

"and he never gives his summons except when manwe tells him too." I think it went like this.

Manwe: Hey Namo, I think I'll stir the trees up in this section of Yavanna's forest a little. Just a little.

Namo: If you do that, you will upset her shepherds. And she will be extremely angry. And you will have to pay for every single twig broken off. And as for the grass–

Manwe:You know I would really appreciate it if you kept your comments to yourself?

And then Mandos says nothing but grave words of DOOM when he -does- speak up.

Excellent.

Although he couldn't help saying " so it is doomed" after the Mahanaxar committee was dissolved.

that was the most words he said in one time that he ever had said, and ever will say until the end of the world. (the last time the gods had a counsel, he said only four words, and those words were, "so it is doomed.")

Mandos' motto: "all things end in Doom." that's why having the Doc in Middle earth would really mess things up.

SunaB In reply to tomato-bird [2009-08-22 21:53:37 +0000 UTC]

Doc is the 'oncoming storm' ...wouldn't that be kind of like the bringer of doom.

Oh wait... the Doctor always *fixes things*. That must drive Mandos insane. That is unless things never end because of him... Things can't end in doom if they never end... bet Mandos has a headache right now doesn't he.

nobody can touch the Doc. he may bring ruin to everything around him, but somehow he always emerges unscathed, determined to "fix" it. Mandos would kick him out first thing if he got the chance...
