| 11 Feb 2004 |  Maria C. Stromberg | I like the stylized feeling and the designs at the top. As I think someone else said, it has the feeling of Tolkien's own drawings, which is something a lot of people (including myself) tend to ignore. I also like the way you did the light pouring out of the furnace. Keep up the good work!   Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thank you, it is quite a compliment you gave me there. Actually it would be interesting to write an essay on how the artistic currents of his time had affected the style of Tolkien's art. " | |
| 12 Mar 2004 | Avarchamien | Great picture. I like the colors. I really need to read Sillmarillion. I've read the Hobbit and the Trilogy, but this i can't seem to find the time to read. Hmmmm, maybe this Summer I'll get the chance.
Do read it, definately! | |
| 26 May 2004 |  Ben L. Peery | Holy crap. This stuff is great. Never would've thought of a Valar (am i right?) litterally making a race in the sence of a forge and hammer. That's very cool.Well, as with other things this is not meant to be a realistic 'historical' picture, rather an image of the event I got from reading about it. | |
| 23 Sep 2004 |  Holland87 | cool! you have a picture of Aule and his dwarves too! only from a different scene. this is very well done! I like it in every single way!  Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thank you!  " | |
| 16 May 2006 | Gully Dwarves Rule | ******I only read DL. I have 120 books. So I don't some of these other stories--but is still a beautiful picture!**  Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thanks! " | |
| 29 Dec 2006 | Gal Arad-Kabiri | All your drawings look very biblical, however, it looks lovely, espcially this one.  Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thanks. I don't think anyone ever found them 'Biblical' before, but I guess it must be a good thing." | |
| 21 Jun 2007 | Gilloth | I like a lot the expression on Aule's face: happiness, pride and love... Congrats!  Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thank you very much, this is exactly what I was going for. " | |
| 4 Dec 2007 |  Joelle Duran | Fantastic--he looks mighty pleased with himself. I like all the symbols you worked into this too! | |

| 14 Mar 2008 |  Natalie Adams | WOW....where’s the Mod?...you should have one for this, it is AMAZING!!!!!!! the way you’ve done the light shafts...and the glittering jewels, and his expression, so smug...naughty Aule, sneaking behind Illuvatar’s back...tut tut tut  Natalia Nikitin replies: "Ah... plenty of much more deserving pictures never get highlighted, but I’m glad you like it and that it captured the character for you.
