Let the MOAN-day commence....

1. Woke up at 7:15. I have to be at work at 8:00 am. AUGH.
2. Hair looks like Yugio so I have to shower this morning.
3. No time for coffee. This makes me a very grumpy person.
4. People are mildly annoying today at work or am I just annoyed. Hard to tell which but that is it.
5. No time to make lunch so I will have to buy it.
6. The cream curdles in my coffee at the office even though it is days away from the expire date.

Frig.

I am not making this stuff up. Small things but they add up to a MOAN-day.

Put in your nickel. Lay it on me.

Tolkien Icon...

So I have been in correspondence with a 3-D artist. Rogerio Gasi, from Brazil who does wonderful work. He has done renderings of the heraldry of Tolkien's elves, mainly first agers but some others.

Here is an example. I am using Fingolfin as I am a fanatic about him. *grin*



Quite incredible. I am posting this entry with the other version of it that I have seen so you can see the difference. It leaps out at you this way. Just great.

More of these can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/otsoandor/Heraldry.htm

So in all this he gave me a JPEG of one of Tolkien's original sketches of Melian's heraldry and I thought it would be fun to make an icon of it. I know there are lots of Tolkien-peeps on my friendslist, so feel free to grab this if you want it. I am also posting the big picture of the sketch so you can see it. He really was a good artist...I need to look up more of his art.
