I'm no da Vinci, but... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Encaitare · 08-24-2005, 11:47 PM

I predict that this will put the How Do You Imagine Other BDers? thread and the photo page out of business! (Wait, maybe I should have said so in The Future of the Downs...

)

The other night I was bored and doodling little pictures, and I decided to cartoonize some Downers while poking a little fun at the comings and goings on the fora. Warning: they're quite silly, and hardly great feats of artistry.

1. Lalwende is dating WHO?

2. Davem tells them off once and for all...

3. Saucie provides group therapy for The Hobbit characters...

More to come in the future... Anyone else want to have a go at it?

Lalwendë · 08-25-2005, 02:26 AM

You have to see these, folks!

And Enca has captured davem's eyebrows perfectly - they do point up just like that when he's arguing!

the guy who be short · 08-25-2005, 05:49 AM

Makes me wish I could use anything more complex than Paint.

HerenIstarion · 08-25-2005, 05:53 AM

Just to clarify for those who havent' seen the source of it: Illustrations refer to the discussion in Canon, what are we babbling about thread

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-25-2005, 06:52 AM

That's just brilliant, Enca. You'll be the first official Barrowdowns illustrator.

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-25-2005, 07:16 AM

Hehe! Davem is just how I imagine him when crossing swords with him in some of the more "contentious" threads ...

And the likeness of me is incredible - well, it would be were you to go back some 15 years.

Loving your work, Enca. Looking forward to seeing some more.

Bêthberry · 08-25-2005, 07:24 AM

And here I thought this would be some kind of religious mystery or conspiracy thread! I would never have guessed something along the lines of a Downs anime.

Superb,Encaitare! Although I have never thought that SpM and davem had similar hair styles.

and, even,

the guy who be short · 08-28-2005, 11:26 AM

I just noticed your hilarious comments underneath the pics.

Quote:

I picture [Lal] as a hobbit, and therefore have made her one, albeit a remarkably tall hobbit. Or maybe he's a really short Dunlending.

Perhaps a little of both?

Quote:

I didn't misspell "Legendarium" by the way; I just realized it looks like I did... my M just kinda ran into an N-ish sort of character...

No worries, I didn't notice anyway.

Quote:

Oh, canonicity. Wars have begun over it.

Not... really...

Quote:

Shrek looks more like an alien than an ogre

Who says aliens aren't ogres? Or ogres aren't aliens? Or they don't cross breed...?

Quote:

Her favorite dead Victorian gay couple, AKA Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas.

I don't think there's that many to choose from, you know.

And that's not entirely accurate, but I'll leave it for now.

Glirdan · 08-28-2005, 11:34 AM

Awsome work Enca! Saucie as a therapist! Who's your next victim?

Bergil · 08-28-2005, 12:26 PM

but are you referring to da vinci as an artist or a predictor (as in code (I think, I havn't read it))?

Ainaserkewen · 08-28-2005, 12:34 PM

Oh, these are great. I actually came on this thread because I thought it was a Da Vince's Code thing...pleasantly suprised.

An A+ from me.

the guy who be short · 08-28-2005, 02:54 PM

Welcome, Bergil

She was referring to him being an artist.

I also originally thought she had discovered some hidden code in the LotR. It's amazing how much that book has influenced people... Da Vinci is no longer an artist in people's minds, but a codemaker.

Special prize:

I'll create a little picture, most likely terrible quality, including anybody who can tell me where my current sig is from. Without using a search engine.

I read the first chapter once, I'm surprised I remember that sentence.

Well done wilwa! I was certain I'd be the only one reading Wells' obscure socialist propaganda!

The promised ill-drawn pic is now on my computer... I just need to devise some way of showing you all. Keep low expectations, please.

I believe I read the first chapter for a project at school or something, it didn't interest me much so I changed to a different subject.

But know I'm glad I had read that far.

To stay on topic I will repeat myself: Love the pics Enca!

And did anybody ever realize how much like a demented goose storks end up looking come midnight? Not that that has to do with anything...

And I thought it would be a pun on HerenIstarion. Silly me.

EDIT: Here we go! Sorry, that's the largest image I could get free... it was originally bigger. And I can't use my gigantic scanner, so I had to do it in paint.

wilwarin538 · 08-29-2005, 07:17 AM

That's so funny

. Very well done guy, I will treasure that pic for the rest of my life.

Morsul the Dark · 08-29-2005, 08:34 AM

If you'll notice wilwarin's sig now has a link to that picture...excellent drawings from all I wish I had a scanner to add my own art i however do not (which is fortunate for you guys)

my drawing skills are shall we say...limited

Enca loved the saucie picture
and the H-I picture

Glirdan · 08-29-2005, 05:36 PM

Awsome pic of Wilwa TGWBS. And it tells the truth!

Looks like we're in the same boat Morsul. My drawings are, kind of, sort of, aww who am I kidding! They SUCK!!

The ever jealous Glirdy

P.s: Don't take that seriously Wilwa. Please don't hurt me!

the guy who be short · 08-30-2005, 06:22 AM

Don't be discouraged by lack of scanners! Anybody can create something of abysmal quality on paint (I did) and www.photobucket.com offers free (albeit with limited space) image hosting. Everybody can join in.

Plus, with all our low quality paint-produced artwork, we'll make Enca and Fea look even better.

The Only Real Estel · 04-04-2006, 10:49 AM

Well...I finished up a "black sharpie drawing" I was doing awhile ago of the BDers (as they're represented on here at least) who participated in the original WW game.

But since my primary go-between (deviantart) is mostly unaccessible to me at the moment, I don't know whether I should just put the pictures of it up here (Crazy Caption style

) or wait until I get access to deviantart.

Any ideas?

I'll second Mith's response. Show me, show me!

Glirdan · 04-04-2006, 09:05 PM

Ooo!! Even though I wasn't part of that game, it'd still be interesting to see. Post it!!

Oddwen · 04-05-2006, 10:06 AM

Please do post it...if you're desperate for hosting though, there's always photobucket.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-07-2006, 07:11 AM

Much against popular demand, I've decided to add a picture I drew a while ago, seeing this thread. I thought about photoshoping it, but then I thought, "Bah! I can't be bothered."
It began as a picture of the Lord Wight, but sort of expanded into a little picture of him getting annoyed at a particular running joke...

Sorry, my drawing is not that good.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-07-2006, 08:05 AM

Hehe.

The Only Real Estel · 04-07-2006, 09:22 AM

That's hilarious Hookbill!

I especially like the "Crying Eye of Sauron."

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-07-2006, 09:28 AM

Thanks, folks!

I hope I'm not going to destroy this thread now, but I quickly put together another picture that amused me slightly. It's the Phantom with a pile of gold... Demanding (of me) some more. I have no idea why.
Sorry if you're insulted Phanto', nothing was intended.
Plus, I think I made him a little too fat... Well, judge for ye selves.

Oddwen · 04-07-2006, 09:50 AM

Hahaha - he has got a definite potbelly.
