Re: "The Hunt fo Gollum" (2026)

I'm just glad that the fanfilm is safe. It was pulled down briefly but went back up soon after.

Re: Overnight trip to test clothing

I'm originally from Portland and this makes me so homesick! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. 🙂

Oof. Looks 'shopped into the ground. Maybe AI assisted editing?

Re: Elven Ranger Clothing Concept

I do like the collar of the shirt and the robe, though the crossed over overtunic/waistcoat does read a bit too eastern to my eye also. Though I love the sash and neckline. Hrm.. not sure, there. What materials are you thinking? I do love raw silk generally, especially for warmer weather. And I thi...

Re: Elladan and Elrohir: Rangers?

Again, speaking for myself of course but I'm far too broken down to portray an ethereal ageless being. I suspect that's part of the problem. Yeah, liked elves more when I was younger. But being built like a large dwarf or a small troll, even at my trimmest, means that the whole effortless ethereal ...

Yeah, it's backwards compatible, so more of a 5.5 edition.

Re: Elven Ranger Clothing Concept

Thanks for posting this, awesome :P and it's cool to see a more practical looking version of elven clothing I used to trek around the Pacific NW in the USA, and loose trousers were never an issue, but you make a salient point. it depends, the ones in your drawing look like they'd be fine, mainly be...

Re: Elven Ranger Clothing Concept

I think the tunic needs to be longer, like long enough to go un-trousered (or "pantsless" if you want it in American ) in summer. But I like the neckline a lot. I would also go with a closer fitting trouser, you want to look tall and graceful..... And big baggy pants over a slim calf say ...

Re: Elven Ranger Clothing Concept

Taken under advisement! I don't actually specify materials as I'm undecided. The part of the world I currently reside in has some sweltering summers so looser trousers are usually a safer bet. I used to trek around the Pacific NW in the USA, and loose trousers were never an issue, but you make a sal...

I'll see if I can bat my eyelashes at the spouse and get some concept art to illustrate what I'm currently thinking of.
Some art would be cool to see :P

Elven Ranger Clothing Concept

Over in General Discussion, Iodo mentioned in Elladan and Elrohir: Rangers? that "Some art would be cool to see" regarding my elven ranger impression. So, I finally took the time to bother the spouse into doing something up for me. Keep in mind, this is them basing the art on what I descri...

Re: Elladan and Elrohir: Rangers?

For various reasons I'm not keen on portrayals of named characters True, but it has been done (Manveruon and his incredible screen accurate Strider impression) I just think that it might be fun to consider what their kit might look like, as they serve in a similar manner and function in the story a...

Re: Dúnedain Sword Designs

Even before the Bristol I had a love for that type of fishtail pommel, even though it's a later period shape. I always get hung up on the bit about Boromir's sword being the same type as Anduril, just "of lesser lineage." Since Boromir is noted as carrying a shield, it stands to reason tha...
