I've been drawing longer than I have been slash writing. Previously, I had an entirely different webpage dedicated to all of the art I had done in my leisure time. However, I stopped updating that page for a while now though I have left it up for viewing. As of late, I started doing some elf images and decided to put them up here along with my slash writings.

My style of drawing is mostly animation style, leaning heavily towards the Japanese style of animation. I have tried drawing more realistically, but it just doesn't seem to work for me. My influences are mostly Japanese comic and fan comic artists, hence my particular style. I'm an amateur, far from a professional, but I have been given my fair share of compliments (though I think they were all just trying to flatter me).

This section of the webpage displays both my artwork and that which has been done for me. Therefore, I would ask that if you wish to display anything of mine to please ask permission first. If you wish to display something done by another artist, I am terribly sorry but it is not up to me to give you that permission. As the artwork was done for me (either at my request or the artist's desire), I have obtained permission to display it. If you wish to also display the artwork, I would recommend that you visit the artist's page and then contact them.

General Musings
	The twin sons of Elrond. I sketched this before inking and coloring in pencil. Unfortunately, the inking process ruining the original a bit and the scanner couldn't scan the whole image. Elrohir is the twin looking at you from the corner of his eye.		A quick sketch of Lindir, who had but two lines in The Fellowship of the Ring but is sometimes paired with Glorfindel or Erestor in fanfiction. Just wanted to commit my mental picture to paper so I have a reference to work on when I write Emerald Orbs and Mithril Waves, a Lindir/Rumil story.
Requests and Gifts
	Sasheenka surprised me one day with this illustration she did based on The Flower and The Fountain. I was very flattered and very pleased. She also did some art of Silence, which I co-wrote with Anu. I seem to have misplaced it, but it will be up as soon as I locate it.		Nellas of Doriath, whom I absolutely adore, so kindly made this request for me despite RL and other requests on her plate. The picture depicts two versions of Lindir; the one on the left with white hair is my primary muse, the one on the left has recently manifested himself for a Thranduil/Lindir story.
	Laliea left a message in my guestbook one day asking if I would display a gift she sent me. I wrote back and then she sent me this lovely image of Caranthir. I'm still not sure why she drew Caranthir for me since I've never written a story about him, but it's still lovely!		I am one of the members of the Haldir's Realm MSN group that has adopted Elf clones to raise. I adopted a Thranduil and a Gildor clone. I got the lovely and talented SayAye to draw my boys as elflings for me. She'll draw them again when they get older.
	More from SayAye! My oldest clone as an adult. Too cute! I love the leaves and berries in his hair and that sweet expression on his face. Say is wonderful!		My other little boy, Gildhros, all grown up too! He's got a more impish/sly expression than Talin because that's how I wanted Say to draw him. He likes to fool people into thinking he likes his brother more than a brother. But it's not true!
	Lookie! In honor of my webpage's first anniversary, Oriquey has made a pair of dollies for me. Here's Glorfindel...		...And here's Ecthelion! They are so cute I wanna just hug them to death!
Gifts for Others
	Originally, this was to be Manwe for a series of drawings I had planned to do but never got around to. Instead, I changed the character to be Olorin, Gandalf/Mithrandir as he was in Valinor according to Morgana in her story, Love of My Life part 28.		This illustration is of, essentially, two characters; one if for Morgana's story Behind Emerald Eyes and the other is for my story, House of Feanor: Hammer and Needle. Collofin is Morgana's character and Melain mine (named by Orchyd Constyne). The image calls my story "Your Heart, My Soul"; that was it's original title before I changed it and made it part of a series (to be written shortly).
