A pretty good reflection of my own mood right now.
I'm currently working on some Yule hobbits. ^_^
The "Riders of Rohan Phenomenon"
Oct. 18th, 2019 09:06 pmI'd like to slow down enough here to provide another terrific link given me recently by
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.' :)

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

Happy Easter to those who celebrate :)

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.

"Land and Sea"
Feb. 1st, 2019 09:00 pmThis 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! ^^;


"Tater Tales" :)
Jan. 22nd, 2019 08:37 amSam 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!

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
