Anyway, if you check your message not just in preview, but after it posts, and you see broken images like that again, at least you'll have 10 minutes to go in and edit the fake URLs into basic markup. Just go into Basic Editor, delete the fake link entirely and replace it with [inline filename.jpg] and that'll do it. Definitely don't trust the preview 100%, and always check post-post Thanks, Silverlode.

It's one of those Smaug/BC combos that Kinko-White seems to enjoy doing. (I love her work!) That one is called Smaug the Golden and she says in the description area that she used BC as reference. I just how she actually made his eyes gold!

These pics here and in the Thorin thread are awesome! Thanks Avandel! *saves them all* That Tauriel pic is so pretty! I love it! And the Legolas pic where he's looking over his shoulder...*giggles*...he's so cute! I've always liked him in that pose because he looks so intense and handsome and those eyes! and...and... *squeeeee!, swoon and thudderly THUD* The only thing better than that pic is this one which has both father and son pretty! in the same pic!

I love the TA threads, but the post counts have a tendency of sneaking up on me! Like, when I turned off my laptop last night I had read all of the posts in this thread. Turn it on this morning and BOOM new posts everywhere! Lol!

*ahem* I got so caught up in swooning over my fave elves, I forgot that I had something to say about the other two pics! Anyway... Re the Varda pic: It's very pretty! It looks like she's trailing stars behind her as she walks through the sky. But I must say...*puts on Silm reading hat*...I find it interesting that the artist chose to give her a crescent moon necklace. Technically, Varda was involved in the creation of both the sun and the moon. After Yavanna and Nienna caused the two trees of Valinor to bring forth the last golden fruit and silver flower and they were hallowed by Manwe and put into their special vessels, they were given to Varda to become "lamps of heaven". Sooo, she should really have a necklace that has both the sun and the moon on it. But I digress... Re the Eowyn pic: Very nice! I love Kimberly 80's art! Her pics are all practically photo-realistic and GORGEOUS and she's done lots of Thranduil pics. Although, I wonder if she models any of the characters after real-life actors because several of them look like someone specific. Her Eowyn at least, distinctly reminds me of Olivia Wilde. Also, her Beren looks like someone famous, I just can't think of who, as does her Yavanna, Fingolfin and others. Either way, they're still gorgeous and her version of Thingol has become the way that I picture him when I read the Silm, which is *cough* quite a nice way to picture him indeed! Speaking of Thingol, I'm definitely starting to see some parallels between him and Thranduil but I shall leave that for another post.

Eruvandi - thank you - this is one of the finest 'shop job I've seen - just LOVE this. A thoughtfully done, BEAUTIFULLY composed piece - every detail is PERFECTION and with thought to the hues and textures of the forest, the fonts and use of text - IMO this is how it's done. I bow to whoever made this. Happy you posted! I thought the image of Tauriel was gorgeous too! Glad you like those! I know I snark st T & L at times, but you should know the Bard scene with those two is on my "instant replay list" as is the river scenes of course. Love that running kick Tauriel does at Bard's, and happily she is a BELIEVABLE fighter - I understand more watching EL why PJ wanted her on board. LOL a more buxom wonder woman type (nothing against curves BTW) just wasn't going to work for this part - too Wonder Woman for ME elves. LOL maybe a female dwarf tho. And a few more for you, tho u may have seen these: OK, SOMEONE really likes Legolas LOL tho not sure this works - but a thought for us all..... PJ and his green screens *sigh* srsly, wasn't there a park or something they could have walked thru? And because this IS a TA thread:
"If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together" - Thorin, The Desolation of Smaug. Thorinitis: Just that smokey barbecue sizzle on a bed of hot embers on a chill autumn night voice making you do things.

OMG! Didn't know there existed such a HUGE image of him *squeeee* And damn him for having even longer eyelashes than most girls. It's so perfect! Oh and now I can see the gem Kerewyn was talking about! ...That they can release a pic that's that big, with that kind of quality, and even if you zoom in close, you can't see makeup or the seam where the wig meets LP's real skin or anything. It just looks like a super-close-up, real-life Elven King! Re the gem in Thrandy's crown: For some reason I never thought to zoom in on that before. It's much narrower than I thought it was from a distance. Huh. I wonder what kind of gem it is?

Speaking of Thingol, I'm definitely starting to see some parallels between him and Thranduil but I shall leave that for another post. And definitely reminded I still have catchup to do. Now where's Asfaloth when you need him?
