cool, thanks Mike :o)

I read some remarks about Kierrato's tile(nashgool...or however u spell it) that it was direct copy from the movie..... & said that the idea of this Quilt is to have your own imagination about how Middle Earth looked like....... If thats why his tile is not showingor been removed or so.. then i think this tile, even though its awsome, but should be removed cuz it is also a copy from the movie... not one's OWN IDEA of how things looked like in Middle Earth !

hmmm... first of all thankyou, i'm glad you think my tile is awesome 8^}.... secondly, this is my idea of how Gwaihir and Gandalf would look while out for a cruise. you will not find this picture anywhere else, because it is not referenced from anyone else's illustrations or from any movie stills etc... i did reference how an eagle looks when soaring and feather placement. then i put those aside and drew from the impressions i had in my mind which those pictures, and the book, and the movie gave me. which imo is not at all the same as copying a picture while looking at it. [not that i think there is necessarily anything wrong with that, as long as you actually do the work yourself and do not just use someone else's image... i do not believe Kierrato uploadeded someone else's image... he just has a good eye, and his version was very close to the original].

i think Kierrato did an excellent job of copying the picture he worked from... when a comment was made [not by me] about his picture being a carbon copy, Kierrato asked for his tile to be sent back. i do not believe it was removed because of it's content or because it was resourced.

some people want to do scenes from the movies, some want to do scenes from the books, and still others want to imagine for themselves what Middle Earth would be like. imo all of those interpretations are valid and just fine.
this should be a fun quilt, let's not suck all the joy out of it.

peace

I agree to all that Tony has said :D
this tile rocks!!!

If i had more coins ill give more to this tile :)

What are you talking about? Gwaihir was described as a giant eagle. It's not a copy of the movie. Since eagles are commonly known animals, one person's view (Peter Jackson's) really is not going to differ at all from another person's (Tony's, in this case).

well spent money :D

I dont wanna argue here but I went over the title again .."One other thing: try to have your own ideas about how things look rather than what you've seen in the movies." & it gave me the impression that everyone has to use their own imagination... which ofcourse doesnt seem to be the case here. Not only you im pointing at but in General. Perticularly to the one who made the comment on Kierrato's tile... oh well..still a nice quilt.

Regardless of all that, your tile has 5 :)

Slice

Ok, look all of us are using Tolkien´s descripcions to make our images so if Tolkien have wrote that Gandalf flyes in a gigant eagle with certain caracteristics we have to uphold to that, we dont have the fault that Peter Jackson happen to make a good trio of movies in wich he makes sure to follow Tolkien´s descripcions very close.

(bw i did read the books before the movies)
So the way i imagined Gwaihir or a Nazgul is a lot close to the movies image.

We are all copying Tolkien so no one here is entirely original, as matter of fact originality does not exist, we all take influences from lots of resources.
There is not such a thing called originality there is only re-creation, interpretation.


that´s all i have to say, but i had to say it .
:D

keep it up the good work, peace

;)

I feel Slice is way off base in the comments he has made. Tony, excellent ORIGINAL WORK! Guess the best always get picked on ;)

renee.. i dont quite think u get the poin here..in any case, HI

Slice first HI! and second yes I DO GET THE IDEA! I don't believe YOU are understanding what Tony has said which is "this is his idea of how things look"...where have you seen this exact image anywhere? I am sure you have not! On Kierato's tile Antaydos showed where it was a replica of a picture that was already out there.
Why don't you just drop this and enjoy the quilt--you have to admit the left side is great and the right has some possibilities!
