Baby Brother, Prince of Cats!

A pretty good reflection of my own mood right now.  

I'm currently working on some Yule hobbits.  ^_^

 
I'd like to slow down enough here to provide another terrific link given me recently by [personal profile] filkferengi .  This article "gets" so much of why certain moments in certain fandoms move us so greatly.  If anything, it's too short.  I'd like to see it expanded.

The author is studying a certain potent effect she calls the "Riders of Rohan" phenomenon, but toward the end of the article she mentions something related which has always fascinated me-- the niche which sci fi and fantasy both provide to those who are 'other,' and the queer community in particular.  I could go on and on about this, but I'll just say for now that for me, it's not only that 'someone showed up,' it's 'someone showed up who understands.'   :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 [personal profile] filkferengi  just brought this to my attention.  It's absolutely beautiful and also true to canon-- at least as far West as the canon goes.  Yes, there are kisses and a lot of happiness :)  To start, scroll up to the top of the page.  And take a look at the comments!

P.S.  According to "The Shaping of Middle-Earth,"  one Valinor year is equal to ten years in Middle-Earth!  :)  


This image just sort of happened recently while I was playing with Bryce software.  Bryce makes wonderful cliffs!  :)  

Frodo, Sam and Bill

Baby Brother has taken over from the Easter Bunny today  :)  


"Spring"

Here's a glorious new short by the Blender Animation Studio.  A single person did all modeling and shading.  I recommend watching this fullscreen on YouTube.  :)    

Blender is completely free open-source CG software available at https://www.blender.org.  It's fun to play with and its capabilities are rapidly catching up to the biggest commercial animation software packages. 
This goes with one of my fanfics, but works very well as a generic fantasy painting.  I broke my mouse working on the waves yesterday and spent an hour this morning finding and installing an old wireless mouse to replace it!  ^^; 

A land horse meets a sea horse!


Sam and his Gaffer are the salt of the earth, and they're harvesting spring taters!  These golden nuggets were left in the ground the previous fall, and due to a warm winter they've grown huge!   Now Frodo has come to join in the fun as Sam and his dad recite more esoteric tater lore than he could ever remember!  

Sam and the Gaffer tell tater tales to Frodo Baggins!


NOTE:  I'm currently having an issue with my cousin's server.  Almost all of my images are down on both blogs.  The ones that are running have been saved to Dreamwidth's low-capacity image hosting service and won't be high-resolution, I'm afraid.  

Hope Anton can get this sorted quickly :P
