Gnome's creations

Hmm... Used to draw a lot, but not an artist when it comes to drawing or painting.

Anyhow last year or so I've been messing around with Paintshop Pro from time to time and have done a few pencil/PSP hybrids as well as some 100% Computer generated. Pretty much abandoned the pencil drawing when I was 15, but I may scan and post some of my old drawings from then... eventually.

Most will be Tolkien related, but not all. This first one is... hmm... needs no explaining really, it is from my mind and not based on any books.

Girl turning her back on the world, I guess. Outline sketched and very rough shading done with pencil, and the rest done in PSP.

This one is not all my work.

I downloaded a picture of Tolkien's own drawing of the doors of Moria, and using PSP I cleared away the white background, reudcing it to black lines with transparent background. Then I applied the noise effect, with low transperancy to that, before making the background black.

Nice work Nom. :)

I especially like the anachimpatarpantsey ;)

Behold Pengolodh!
loremaster,
teller of tales,
who can with his vioce
translate all things (I think)
and who speaking of words can put into words
things that we can not;
strolling through that white city.
And I hope the wind throws back his hood,
so I might see again his bright face,
and long black hair playing in the breeze;
streaming as his cloak does now behind him.

'Unfold your arms Pengoldh
and let go your book...
come down these marble stairs so we can pass over Tumladen
and come to those hills,
and dance under tree,
and skip hand in hand as elf children
in the music of the fountains of this fair city.
for that is what we are Pengolodh: Children.
You are now even as you were in Nervast:
but more!

Even as you tell in mastery of words
how the the world and everything in it must change;
are you not still Pengolodh the child of Imbar under Eru?
And though you think in the coirea quenya,
do you not recall the language of your youth
where you might revisit it if others will hear it?
Or is that but a lore if put into practice would be a sharing;
of things known but past?
I fear it is so!
But mighten't you too revisit the wonder of your earliest days
and in doing so, as a child play?'

Poetic mood? ;)

Seriously though, Nom. Very Nice !!
