Happy birthday!

May you have a marvelous day, [livejournal.com profile] the_winterwitch!

I don't know if this was intended to be Elrond... but I like to think it might be. :)

"Snow Ride", by Jenny Dolfen (ETA: I have it credited on Photobucket but realized I should add it here as well)

Jenny Dolfern, the artist, tells me this is Maglor, but he would indeed make a very good Elrond.

Ah, good to know!

Thank you, dear! *tight hugs* I really love this picture. It's supposed to be Maglor, but now that you say it, I can't unsee Elrond again - and don't want to, it's far to good a fit. *g* Much as I love the artist's work, her Elrond doesn't hit the mark for me. This is much, much better.

You're very welcome!

With apologies to the artist, we'll just pretend this is Elrond, then. *g* (I adore her work, but like you and her Elrond, her Aragorn doesn't really do much for me, or at least, not that particular pose/angle. I wish she'd do more of him so I could get a good idea of how she sees him.

I think my favorite non-movie inspired Aragorn rendering is by Matt Stewart. http://www.matthew-stewart.com/portfolio/single-gallery/4271353

I love all his Tolkien stuff (I wish he'd paint Elrond and Glorfindel!)
