Glorfindel Leads Them to Rivendell
Glowiness of nobility
Glorfindel! And Asfaloth! Asfaloth doesn’t look as bad as my horses usually do. I still can’t draw horse chests. I should study sometime. I tried to make everything other than him and his horse dark so that he would stand out. He is supposed to have a sort of glow, I think. Like the elves in the Shire, where a faint light falls about their feet. Unfortunately, the shadow faded. Frodo came out well also, and look! It’s Aragorn! Wow! Sort of. Sam is the hobbit just behind him, Merry is the one behind Glorfindel, and Pippin is behind Asfaloth. I had trouble scanning this. It didn’t want to pick up Glorfindel’s arm or waist.
The Ford of Bruinen
Glorfindel reveals his power
Huzzah! Glorfindel saves the day! From Ringwraiths!
This is a scribble to celebrate the Ford of Bruinen. Frodo is on Asfaloth, obviously, and in the back there are (L-R) Aragorn, Glorfindel the Glowing – I mean, Golden – Merry, Sam, and Pippin. I think. I just drew random short people. In between, if you look carefully, are bits of all nine riders. Gandalf was going to be in the corner, but I cropped him because he was lousy.
Glorfindel
My hero! Huzzah!
Glorfindel, my hero! I was really happy with this picture when I drew it, and I’m really happy with it still. I adore the passage where Tolkien describes him:
“Glorfindel was tall and straight; his hair was of shining gold; his face fair and young and fearless and full of joy; his eyes were bright and keen, and his voice like music; on his brow sat wisdom, and in his hand was strength.”
It’s so inspiring. Tolkien really liked Glorfindel, I think. I’m glad he didn’t show up in the movie, because he wouldn’t have been good. Actually, he was in the movie, but without speaking lines. He was some tall, white-haired guy with a milky, pasty face and he looked really wierd. I don’t look at that guy ever, since he’s all wrong. Legolas would have been perfect, but then he was perfect as Legolas, too, so I suppose Legolas is more important to the story so that’s okay. I just imagine the same person, tiny bit taller, a bit glowy with some sort of divine light, lachend eyes, and different clothes.
