Here are 5 zillion pictures of Glorfindel in mini form. I like the rock on his base… he was painted with Tamiya, again. I had trouble shading the cloak because I still didn’t know much. I used gold paint in his hair in an effort to make him truly ‘golden-haired’ because everyone I see is either white, silver, cream, yellow, or at best, flax. So the last shot shows it pretty well. I think it’s still not good enough, and I’m going to do more next time. I also like the moss on the rocks, and Asfaloth’s harness, and the lovely colour of green I used for the harness. It’s Tamiya “Sky”. The little blue tassels have silver bells, like the book says he had, and the sword is shiny again.
Sometimes I call one of them “Glorfindol”. Not anymore.
Lots of stuff will be basecoated tomorrow! Link will be white, the bolt thrower white, and I guess the horses ought to be white as they’re going to be light grey, but I thought I should paint something black since the shadows show up better… Oh, well, white it is!
I BEAT TWILIGHT PRINCESS!
Which means I have no excuse to not finish Koholint, so I will write that next! I also am warming again to the idea of making a TP movie of the game for my mom, and a set of “graphic novels” (I prefer to call them manga even when they’re L-R), and a claymation movie based on the manga. I also drew two funny pictures last night.
Towards achieving that goal, here’s Chapter 3 of MoDttIoD (a.k.a. Majora’s Mask)!
We saw a show on the Discovery Channel – about the sinking of a giant plane to create an artificial reef – which happened near Comox!
Glorfindel! And Asfaloth! Asfaloth doesn’t look as bad as my horses usually do. I still can’t draw horse chests. I should study sometime. I tried to make everything other than him and his horse dark so that he would stand out. He is supposed to have a sort of glow, I think. Like the elves in the Shire, where a faint light falls about their feet. Unfortunately, the shadow faded. Frodo came out well also, and look! It’s Aragorn! Wow! Sort of. Sam is the hobbit just behind him, Merry is the one behind Glorfindel, and Pippin is behind Asfaloth. I had trouble scanning this. It didn’t want to pick up Glorfindel’s arm or waist.
Huzzah! Glorfindel saves the day! From Ringwraiths!
Glorfindel, my hero! I was really happy with this picture when I drew it, and I’m really happy with it still. I adore the passage where Tolkien describes him:
