Art Challenge November 2005
You would like to draw but cannot think of a good motive? Or you just like challenges? Or there is something that you always wanted to catch in a picture, but are curious how other Artists?
Here is the Meet in Middle Earth Art Challenge
The 2005 November challenge:
Make your interpretation of the scene: No hours so dark had Pippin known, not even in the clutches of the Uruk-hai. It was his duty to wait upon the Lord, and wait he did, forgotten it seemed, standing by the door of the unlit chamber, mastering his own fears as best he could. And as he watched, it seemed to him that Denethor grew old before his eyes, as if something had snapped in his proud will, and his stern mind was overthrown. Grief maybe had wrought it, and remorse. He saw tears on that once tearless face, more unbearable than wrath.
'Do not weep, Lord,' he stammered. 'Perhaps he will get well. Have you asked Gandalf?'
'Comfort me not with wizards!' said Denethor. 'The fool's hope has failed. The Enemy has found it, and now his power waxes; he sees our very thoughts, and all we do is ruinous.
'I sent my son forth, unthanked, unblessed, out into needless peril, and here he lies with poison in his veins. Nay, nay, whatever may now betite in war, my line too is ending, even the House of the Stewards has failed. Mean folk shall rule the last remnant of the Kings of Men, lurking in the hills until all are houned out.'
(The Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 4: The Siege of Gondor)
When you have something for this theme, please post the link to the picture (or the picture itself) here. The only rule is that you must have made it yourself - everything else, like technique or style, is free. There is no time limit about when your picture should be finished, although in about two or three month we might make a poll about which ones the group likes best. This is not a contest, just a challenge for the simple fun of everyone working on something similar and exchanging ideas.
If you have ideas for future Challenges, please post them here also.
Wow! After reading those lines, I think I have to try to draw something. When an idea comes immediately, it is usually a sign that a picture wants to be drawn.

Not even stick figures? With arrows pointing, "this is Pippin", and "this is Denethor?
