Palantir Premonitions (What's to come)

Hall of Fire Chat

It's a new week, and that means it's time for a new Hall of Fire.
Nazfyratu did some deep thinking as he hiked one of his well-worn
paths, and he came up with this great topic:
. o O Art and Tolkien!

Although the images Tolkien has crafted for his readership
belong ultimately to each of us in our own minds,
The Professor has inspired countless artistic visions that
have been brought to life. The variety of media used to
express visions of Tolkien runs the gamut, but we're going
to focus on painting, sketching, and drawing. Take a quick
look at some of our fan art, or spend the next few days getting
to know one of our community sites, Rolozo Tolkien, which
has an enormous stockpile. Grab the internet address of a
favorite Tolkien picture to bring with you to our chat, and
we'll be able to share our favorite pictures as we talk together.

Do you have a favorite Tolkien artist? Thinking back on
calendars, posters, book jackets, even the work of the
author himself in his published collection Pictures of J.R.R.
Tolkien, what is it about this art that moves you? Is it the
scene itself, a rendition of a favorite setting or character,
or is it something deeper... tone, imagery, perspective, color,
light?

Perhaps you've done something yourself that you'd like to
share with us during our chat. All are welcome, and we
hope to see you at The Hall of Fire!

Date & Time: Saturday, June 3 at 5:30 EST [-5 hours GMT]
