::grabs the first commentor and waltzes with her due to the second comment being hers:: heh heh, Yeah, this picture does make one feel warm and fuzzy inside 2 I like it, he looks so nice but can I ask a stupid question? I thought Cirdan was human...because they talk about him having a beard, which you have, yet, Tolkien's elves seem beardless. Dang thats confusing...LOL. HEh Great work though, neat media you chose to use 2

:-) Birthe Jabs replies: "Yes, he is said to have a "long grey beard" but he IS an elf. Strange, I always imagined the elfes hairless except the head. And a LONG beard was really hard to believe. So it shortened somewhat here, but I like the idea. A beard, yes, it can make a man (or elf) much more handsome. "

This is beautiful. The colors are wonderful, and the feel to the picture is one of calm satisfaction. This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And the hair is great, the shininess. *first-comment waltz*

I love it!! The colors rock. And the boat model?! What a wonderfully evocative idea! He looks so contemplative. Amazing work!

1 Birthe Jabs replies: "This is all your fault! ;-) Hey, I'm very happy to find your comment here! I love your art, too, and in fact your Cirdan inspired me and also gave my Cirdan his looks. Just like Fingon. I hope you're not angry with me for taking over you ideas?"

Very nice! The pose looks really good and natural. Like the hair, too. You should use coloured paper more often ^^

This is very nice picture, I love the soft shading on the colour paper. You did great job on his clothes and expression!
