VALMAR STYLE BOOK

[Arth....@gmail.com]

Arabic + Elvish = Valimar, the City of Bells.

Add your photos, website links and ideas regarding style and imagery
for Valimar to this thread!

Valimar, the magical, idyllic home-city for the Elves and Gods of
J.R.R. Tolkien's amazing world, is built by the immortal Holy Ones
(Ainur) in the beautiful, remote "Undying Land" of Arda, where the
forces of chaos and evil can never rule.

I was going to take a bunch of screenshots of Elven stuff in Morrowind
and Oblivion but then I remembered that there are also lots of images
at the game developer's site:

Almost all kinds of Elven things are covered but if we need more ideas
on specific topics I'll be able to determine it I can find more info.

Love, Arth.

These "visions" of an artist are great to consider...thinking also
that each artist has their own ideas about "who these characters were"
this artist has given us many things to consider. Thank you so much
Rajani and Lihan. I appreciated these ideas a great deal.
