"The Letter"

[wallace_trust]

Just finished this morning.  Hope I haven't missed too many artifacts.  I see some, but to correct them it would require redoing the whole thing  ^^;  This picture goes with my fic excerpt, "Frodo's Letter to Sam." 

This is my first use of new Frodo 8.5, built on Beautiful Bends Victoria 4.2.  'Beautiful Bends' is a newer version of this wonderful but old model which has corrected some issues with the joints.  I've already built and used Beautiful Bends Sam (Michael 4) in "Whispering Cove."  

I want to do a closeup of Frodo; really get into his eyes and features and hopefully his thoughts, so my next project is re-skinning him in high definition.  He has to be more realistic for that kind of extreme closeup.  

NOTE:  I actually remembered to remove the right ring finger on one copy of this model before turning him loose on the world.  That's another first!  :D

Thank you! :)

Frodo is such a sweet character, no matter what version :)

[febobe]

Absolutely! (BTW, I love how you captured the missing finger and the stump in the pic on your journal :D )

[wallace_trust]

Thank you so much! You must mean the journal 'masthead,' at the top of the page? I had to paint his finger out of that one by hand, I'd forgotten and left it turned on in the renderer ^^;

I know of at least one pic I've posted here in which he still has all ten fingers when he really shouldn't ^^;

Oh, and I just checked your links section. I'd never heard of Fellowship! I've only listened to a bit, but the Flight to Rivendell one is freaking awesome. :) (Although Arwen is freaking scary. :D ) Thanks for introducing me. <3

*hugs*

ETA: Lament of the Ring starts out so gorgeous, but I was cracking up by the end! :D

[wallace_trust]

You're very welcome! *Hugs you too* :)

'Fellowship' is possibly my favorite LOTR soundtrack of all time! It certainly manages to be satirical, but it hits all the right notes at the same time, and it's the gentlest of parodies. My favorites are "I Always Thought" with Legolas and Gimli, "Home's Never Too Far Away," "Happy Birthday Bilbo" and "Song of Destiny."

Check out the amateur videos of this on YouTube for even more fun. Here's the link to Legolas and Gimli! :D

He's wonderful. The ring finger touch makes me soooooo happy. You make me feel like writing fanfic again...and since that's something I really WANT to do, well.... <3

Dang it, I may have to get sausages and make bangers and mash going into next weekend. (Fresh Thyme has their pork sausages on special for $1.99/lb - they make their own sausages with pork and chicken and things like apple :D and they have close to 50 varieties, and almost half are in the case on any given day for sale.)

I've not felt like this for so many years, but I've longed for it, esp of late. THANK YOU. <3

[wallace_trust]

Wow! That's really the ultimate compliment! You're so very, very welcome! I'm so happy I could be of help! :)
