Description My holiday greeting for my livejournal friends last year. The group deserved to "party" before all the serious stuff...don't you think?

Thank you so much! Β I used a myriad of photos for this drawing. Β I wanted them all to look happy so I searched for photos of each one of them with a "happy" expression that would fit this joyous occasion...all of them with a big smile! Β  Β (It took a while--Lucky for me I have a bunch of LOTR fan magazines!)

Beautiful! You've captured them perfectly..

Has Legolas had to much to drink or is he just in a cuddling mood?

Thank you! Β Ha! Legolas? Β I'd say he's had too much to drink, thus, cuddly!

I thought elves didn't get affected by drink.. Must be something extra strong.

Hmm though that's not really true.. after all the Hobbit clearly stated that elves did get drunk.

god you are incredible. The level of emotion you are able to FABRICATE on your own accord and not merely mimic from a scene , set, or photograph is breathtaking. I find myself literally *envious* of the giddiness that Frodo has in this, and Gandalf has this magical father christmas like essence. i cant say enough good things about this. you have mastered it. i cant stop smiling.

Thank you! I wasn't sure how to draw Elrond. All the references that I have seen he's frowning! So I had no choice but to draw his "frown brows" and have a big smile at the same time! I'm glad he made you laugh....in a good way!

rstrider9 In reply to Ditrakstoryl [2012-08-29 00:57:10 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. This probably took me a week and a half to finish. I usually draw at night after making dinner and having that short time to myself before bedtime. You know when it's really quiet.

Your work has an amazing ability to make me smile. The way you get the expressions and each person's features right seems so flowing and effortless. And the general mood of pictures like this really does spread a smile on my face too. Aragorn and Arwen are totally the scene-stealers here.

Yeah, I can picture this! I love every one of their happy faces! (Boromir and Frodo are tied in first, though). But my favorite piece must be Arwen and Aragorn.
