The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Tolkien - The One Ring

Are there any references to the hair of Feanor and his sons though? Perhaps, and this is just me thinking out loud, that this group of elves cut their hair shorter than their distant kin as either a sigil of their House or a mark of their oath?

What a troublesome bunch. Give them all Mohawks.

Give them all Mohawks. That's something for the challenge thread Elmtree. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

Great sig-pic, rowanberry! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

Yes, aren't they cute little troublemakers? <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-devil.gif"border=0> "Now, why is everybody always blaming us for everything? We're only doing our job. If you're not a servant of Morgoth, we won't kill you. Unless, of course, you mess with the Silmarils, or Cele's girlfriend. Even if said girlfriend told him very clearly to get lost." <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

by **Ornendil** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 1:03 am

All hail Celegorm the Pink! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

Be careful - those guys probably had a very bad sense of humour... <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0> But, perhaps Cele had heard Aerosmith's "Pink"... <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

Jenny must be sick or dead... ... or maybe she's just started to paint at a speed normal for human beings... <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0>

by **Giliath** » Tue Mar 23, 2004 7:56 pm

I was just wondering what happend to her. Hopefully it is just the latter. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

by **JennyDolfen** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 3:27 am

Neither sick nor dead - just pregnant! ^___^ Incidentally, know the picture of Feanor's house, with pregnant Nerdanel? I drew it the very day I *got* pregnant. ^^ I'm having pretty bad morning (and noon and afternoon and evening) sickness, which makes drawing less than pleasant. But I hope I'll be over that soon...

by **Elmtree** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 6:42 am

Oh Jenny! congratulations!!! How far along are you? (I guess I just ougta go back and check the nerdanel pic<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>). so, you're being "creative" in a different way. That's okay! My sympathies on the "morning" sickness (a misnomer if ever there was one-- morning, afternoon, evening- it's not picky). Having given birth to five children, and going thru "morning sickness" with all of them, you have my full sympathies! (Wonders if it's time to go into personal stories of babies and tubes of paint... maybe not yet...<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>)

by **NienorNiniel** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 6:49 am

Really?! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif"border=0> Wow, that's so great! Congrats! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Incidentally, know the picture of Feanor's house, with pregnant Nerdanel? I drew it the very day I *got* pregnant. ^^ Spooky... I'll recommend that to eveyone having trouble with getting pregnant. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> Elmtree: Having given birth to five children, and going thru "morning sickness" with all of them, you have my full sympathies! a) Five children? You have been quite "creative" yourself! b) I'll stop asking if you're male or female... <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0>

by **Elmtree** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 6:55 am

It would be awfully creative for a guy to have given birth to five children<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>. Yes, I'm a plump, middle aged, mom of five. If you clicked the link in the art challenge thread, you'd have seen my elder teen daughter's "death of arwen" on the page. She's my artist (and refuses to allow me to upload any of her images to the Gallery.<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif"border=0> )

by **JennyDolfen** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 6:56 am

lol, the coming out of Elmtree <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> And heh, yes, seems drawing pregnant women will get you there! ^^ Hope Elves don't get morning sickness. Or else... poor Nerdanel. Just thinking back on all the Epilogue comments I got a month ago about being so prolific <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

by **NienorNiniel** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 7:24 am

Yes, I'm a plump, middle aged, mom of five. And that's the way we like you! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> I myself won't have children of my own for quite a long time, unless something very unexpected happens... Well Jenny, I'm just glad your absence was caused by this and not by something not as happy.

by **Giliath** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 8:36 am

Well that's a perfectly wonderful reason to be away! Congratulations Jenny. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

by **rowanberry** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 9:05 am

Congratulations, Jenny! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Seems that we have a counterpart of the ancient fertility goddesses in Tolkien's mythology... <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> Hope you get over the so-called morning sickness soon (thank goodness I didn't have it very bad when I was expecting my kids) and, hope that everything goes well all the way.

by **NienorNiniel** » Thu Apr 08, 2004 11:55 am

Ah! Finally a pic up in the gallery! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Any more of them up here on TORC? <a href='http://www.tolkienonline.com/gallery/gallery_item.cfm?id=8572' target=_blank>http://www.tolkienonline.com/gallery/gallery_item.cfm?id=8572</a> And Jenny, how are you doing? <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

by **Giliath** » Thu Apr 08, 2004 12:16 pm

And it's featured in EA's article as well. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Yes yes how are you doing Jenny?

by **ElvenArcher** » Thu Apr 08, 2004 12:27 pm

I uploaded some of Jenny's and some of Catherine Chmiel's images to the Gallery. All the "featured art" used on the front page comes from the Gallery, so if it's not in there, it won't be "Featured". I do not select the images used. I think Jon or Ted select them. The Chmiel and Dolfen ones obviously caught their attention. If you wonder why your favorite image is never used in the featured section, be sure it's uploaded. It's a good idea to ask permission of the artist before uploading, too, out of courtesy. (I emailed Chmiel and requested to use her images in the article, plus the follow up one on one article, which is how those images got into the Gallery).

by **JennyDolfen** » Thu Apr 08, 2004 1:06 pm

Aaaah, I see. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> As for how I'm feeling, I'm fine (finally). Morning sickness seems to have stopped mostly now, and I'm working again--on commissions only right now, though. So much was left lying around unfinished during the last six weeks; I don't think there'll be a lot new Silmarillion art over the next few months. My commissions schedule is a veritable nightmare. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

by **NienorNiniel** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 3:43 am

Well, that's good - that you're feeling better, I mean. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Do you put your commissions out on the web, by the way?

by **JennyDolfen** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 5:42 am

A few. I only put my best pics on the web, and for most of my commissions pics, I simply don't have the same sort of attachment to them that I have with my private projects. I'm told that it never shows, though, thankfully. .)

by **Giliath** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 7:14 pm

Glad you're feeling better Jenny. Good luck finishing your work. I know very well how old piled up work can get. Don't work yourself to hard though. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

by **JennyDolfen** » Sat Apr 10, 2004 12:11 am

The good thing about art*work* is that paid and commissioned work is still satisfying, more so than a morning at school, and definietely more relaxing! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

by **Giliath** » Tue Apr 13, 2004 1:10 pm

Well that's all well and good, but then it really isn't work now is it Jenny. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> Kidding kindding! In all seriousness you are very lucky to be able to get paid for something you enjoy and relaxes you.

I've 'honored' :: cough :: Jenny by using her Coming of Fingolfin for this week's caption contest (go to the main page: www.tolkienonline.com ).

A few people who posted captions know the story quite well, as should be obvious:).
