SciFi and Fantasy Art Tuor escapes the Easterlings by Peter Xavier Price

'But after three years of thraldom Tuor saw at last his chance of escape. He was come now almost to his full stature, taller and swifter than any of the Easterlings; and being sent with other thralls on an errand of labour into the woods he turned suddenly on the guards and slew them with an axe, and fled into the hills. The Easterlings hunted him with dogs, but without avail; for wellnigh all the hounds of Lorgan were his friends, and if they came up with him they would fawn upon him, and then run homeward at his command.'

7 Jun 2005	Ruth 'Cookie Monster' Browne	Loading... Cool. very cool. eep. I've never read all the other books Tolkien wrote, even the ones that are connected to LOTR. I tried the Silmarillion, but it was way too depressing ;_; But i named my neverwinter Nights character after Finarfin! Lemme guess... you are a great fan of Tolkien. Whoo! no prizes Again, you're a really good artist! cookie_monsterAh, you're right. 'The Silmarillion' is a sad read, but it's so inspirational! You should give it another try sometime. Thanks for the comment.
10 Jun 2005	Evgenia P. Petkova aka Foxy Jenny	Loading... You should get a Mod`s choice every time only for having the style you do. It`s incredibly pleasant for a person to look at your works. Your art kinda reminds me of Jenny Dolphen`s - she has some great pictures of Sillmarillion (where shouldn`t I put a double L, [censorship], I`m always forgetting!). Check her gallery out here, in Elfwood, if you like. Seeing that you like stories that she does (or it seems so).Thanks a lot. Jenny and I already know each other, and are good friends. In fact, we recently completed a 'Silmarillion' collaboration together -- here's the link.
20 Oct 2005	Hana "Marmota" Běťáková	Loading... And here are only two comments...That's unjustified! I love the dogs. They look just like dogs used for chasing But they love him. And he looks - chased, but not in danger for this moment. You know, this tale is my favourite.Ah, Tuor's story is one of my favourites also. Thanks a lot!
15 Jul 2008	Susanna	Loading... I love how you capture Tolkien’s genius through your artwork, because I think your one of the artists who really do him justice. I like how you’ve done Tuor, I think this is exactly how I imagine him appearing, and I love how you also portrayed the hounds. They really have that Medevial look to them.
6 Aug 2008	Tolkien Freak	Loading... Wow. The dog on the left looks as though it’s about to jump out of the page - it’s so real! Great job. You really are a wonderful artist. You inspire me and humble me at the same time. I jus’ love your work! Keep it up.
