Tag As FavoriteComment		Salgant of the House of the Harp, an elf from Tolkien's ' Fall of Gondolin'. He sided with Maeglin the traitor.
This was done for Tehta's Gondolian fanfiction comedies, to be found at the Henneth Annun Story Archive or at Fanfiction Net.
Edit: Salgant has his very own fanfic now! Go read 'Quo Vadis' by Tetha:

Summary: As Gondolin burns, Salgant - ever an artist - choses his fate.

Felt tipped pen and ink on paper.

Wow! This is quite different from your usual style; very nicely done -- it's a great caricature. 1

What a great picture! Great fascinating details, the swan harp and mouth expression. Lovely illustration indeed!

1 Dagmar Jung replies: "Hey, thank you! Poor Salgant has so few fans... probably the least of all Tolkien elves. *adds one to the list*"

Marvelous - I love his facial expression! Somehow he looks as if his music would be a better defence for gondolin than all the soldiers were 12*goes and reads the story*

:-) Dagmar Jung replies: "I am so glad you like Salgant! He is probably the most underappreciated Tolkien elf out there. (Just try and google for his name.)According to Tehta's story, his music didn't do anything to save Gondolin, but it saved his own life. Tolkien says that he ended up as Morgoth's jester - I have my doubts if death by Balrog would not be preferable."

HE looks chubby.

:-) Dagmar Jung replies: "He should look chubby. Tolkien says he's chubby. "

Yup, he's a chubb-a-tub

Excellent ^_^ I love how smooth and clear all the lines are *hopes that someday her own inking will be this good!* and the story you put behind it. Congratulations on the cloak and harp especially, I'll have to check out the fanfic sometime!

2 Dagmar Jung replies: "Thank you! Do check out the story, it's very well-written."
