Oro, you speak of the delicious Alan Rickman.

You're joking, narfforc. You look too young.

Orominuialwen · 06-22-2005, 03:54 PM

Thanks, Encaitare. I preferred Rickman as Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility, but I figured I'd be more likely to get his name if I referred to HP.

Lathriel · 06-22-2005, 04:24 PM

I really liked Alan Rickman in Sense and Sensibility!
I keep on checking out the picture page every day to see if tere are new pics.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-22-2005, 06:04 PM

Please cut the off-topic chat folks, or this thread is likely to be closed. Which would not be very fair to Tigerlily who has put in a lot of work to bring us the photo page.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-22-2005, 06:06 PM

My favorite Rickman role is probably that as the Voice of God in Dogma.

And Narfforc, I had you placed as about thirty.

narfforc · 06-23-2005, 08:34 AM

To Feanor and Encaitare, I am half the age of Aragorn, but not to far from Viggo, so you have made my day, the smile will last for days. Thanks.

Lathriel · 06-23-2005, 10:59 AM

I send in my pic but we'll have to wait a few days. I hope Tig is having fun.

Estelyn Telcontar · 06-23-2005, 11:48 AM

I'd like to add my ernest appeal to Saucy's - please don't overdo the chatting on this thread! I'm sure brief comments on the pictures are alright, but it's better not to go off on a tangent - personal chit-chat should be taken to PMs.

On topic - I'm still away from home and my PC, but when I get back next week I'll have a lovely picture of Child of the 7th Age, Thenamir and myself, taken when I met them last week, to add to Tigerlily's site.

Also on topic, Tigerlily does look very much like Eowyn on that picture!

Elennar Starfire · 06-26-2005, 07:09 PM

Tig and Fea, if you're changing your pictures, could you please send the old ones to me in a PM? I've got a drawing in the works including both of you, and it's much easier if I've got a pic to look at.

Gil-Galad · 06-26-2005, 07:12 PM

what about little ol' me? FYI, i have a pic of me with my cape down...

The Perky Ent · 06-27-2005, 01:03 AM

Gil-Galad · 06-27-2005, 12:06 PM

bah....Nimmy, if you really want it i could send it too you over Msn...but i'm not sure if i should put it up just yet...

the guy who be short · 06-28-2005, 07:18 AM

I just sent in a photo. I hope you can use attachments...

elronds_daughter · 06-28-2005, 06:43 PM

At long last the BD photo page shall be graced with my likeness! Now it will be truly complete.

Gil-Galad · 06-28-2005, 06:44 PM

Don't forget that Superman haunts the photo-pages now...

elronds_daughter · 06-28-2005, 06:58 PM

Yeah, but what good are you if you won't even show your face, Gil?

Gil-Galad · 06-29-2005, 09:44 AM

again, i say i have a picture of me as superman with the cape down, and one email i could send it to Tig to put it up...or just send it indivually to specific indivuals...

VanimaEdhel · 06-29-2005, 03:34 PM

Okay, the pics I put up before were about seven months old. These are more recent pictures of me:
One Pic
Two Pic
Red Pic
Could Find a Blue Pic

Gil-Galad · 06-29-2005, 03:36 PM

i like the last one... that "blue" pic... i like it with your hair forward...

Kath · 06-29-2005, 03:46 PM

I like the red pic, kinda looks like you're in some sort of dark room.

VanimaEdhel · 06-29-2005, 05:16 PM

Actually, I received the biggest compliment I think I've ever had with the "blue" picture - someone said that I reminded her of Uma Thurman somehow with it. I absolutely love her.

And the red one was taken by me just putting my fingers over the flash.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 07-01-2005, 06:49 PM

VanimaEdhel, do you want one of those up on the photo page?

Oh yeah, and I'm back, and I'm off to update the page right now. I have five new pics and one change of pic to take care of. So, here I go... off to update

Kuruharan · 07-01-2005, 07:44 PM

mormegil looks nothing like I was expecting.

I would have been looking for somebody with dark hair.

...maybe even all over his body...I wonder where I got that idea...

I'll second that.

Fea, I love the new pic.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-02-2005, 07:26 AM

Check out Fea's new pic underneath Tig's new pic. They definitely have some sort of ancestor-descendent theme going on there! (Because her pic looks Victorian and the pose is..........nevermind.)

mormegil looks nothing like I imagined him! Say, how tall are you exactly?

mormegil · 07-02-2005, 07:31 AM

Kath · 07-02-2005, 07:55 AM

Ooh lots of new photos! Thanks for the update Tigerlily.

Fea I love your new one, makes you look almost animated (as in like animation not looking like you're alive - I'll just stop now.)

The guy who be short is apparently taking a leaf out of alatar's book.

And Mormegil! You're not a hairy little monkey! I mean I knew that but somehow it's still a shock.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-02-2005, 10:21 AM

Thanks for all the compliments on that picture, guys. If anybody cares to know how I went about developing it, PM me and I'll share my secret. It's one of the greatest art secrets around...

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-02-2005, 11:59 AM

I think you just used a really old camera.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-02-2005, 12:09 PM

Quote:

I did no such thing. As a matter of fact, I used a four year old digital and developed it in the dark room.

Well, there were several steps in between, and they're the important ones, but that's the gist of it.

Go ahead - put whichever one you like the best up. I'm not picky: I linked to those four because they were my four favorites.

Indeed! I sort of imagined him being short (shorter than he actually is, I mean) with dark hair...and about my age. Or a bit older.

EDIT: Haha. If not for Kath, I wouldn't realize what morm's avatar is.

Balin999 · 07-03-2005, 04:42 AM

I got a problem:
I dont see any thumbs or pics, I just see the names and no link or whatsoever....
Can anybody help me?

Hey, it was the nicest pic of me I could find.

I really like it actually, I love the silhouette and the fluffy clouds and blue sky. It was taken on top of a pirate ship, y'know.

morm is just... nothing like I (or any of you lot apparently) imagined him. I always imagined him as small and dark-haired. I think my brain made that connection because of the "mor-" in mormegil. And all you people named after swords should be dark and mysterious...

Fea - Just wow. Maybe I'm biased 'cos I think she's one of the funniest people I know and I like her personality, but I think she's the best looking person out of us. Followed extremely closely by tigerlily of course.

the phantom - How do I do this without boosting his ego? Ah, yes. I would choose Brad Pitt over him anyday.

Actually I think tp looks better when not in his suit, though it's disappointing how he's not as dark and evil as I imagined him.

Ainaserkewen - I always imagined her as her avatar. Though I like the short hair.

*blushes* I can never resist a compliment, even if I disagree with it.

No, he is. He just hides it well. Picture him more as his avatar. Much closer to the truth.

I don't know what to tell you, Balin999... it worked for you in the past, no? Maybe the server was having issues when you stopped by, or something... but I know that I haven't reached my date transfer limit, because I have tons of that.
