I can't believe how dark it is here after being in a sunny place for a month.
It makes me sleepy O_o I'll write more when I'll finally wake up

The feature meme will be closed shortly, so if you want to join express your interest in a separate comment.

Nov 10, 2009

Greetings from Goa, India, I'm already here. Didn't manage to update #Silmarillion-Club gallery before leaving, sorry folks.
I'll be off-line till late December.
Cheers!

Nov 3, 2009 The Feature Meme, come and join us! >^^<

I hope my watchers want to join the fun There are many slots, so if I can't get 20 people now will make this meme after coming back in late December (soon I'll be off-line for a month).

More, get double featured - also by ~Succubus1982 who is willing to feature art of new people she doesn't know yet. So if you're not her watcher but want to join the fun, hurry up and comment on her journal: [link]

And sure, there is a catch - to be featured you need to make such meme, too.
Which is fun, isn't it? Let's begin!

The Feature Meme

Step 1 - You the watcher reply to this meme. There are 20 slots.

Step 2 - In order of replies I'll write the name of the commenter and pick one artwork from their gallery that I like best to feature.

Step 3 - The person who originally tagged me goes at #1 position automatically.

Step 4 - Once you have been listed you are officially tagged and have to do the same in your journal with me as your number one.

If you don't want to be tagged, then don't reply to the journal! (But its your loss if you're too lazy to make one little journal). If you want to take a part in fun replay here, copy rules to your journal.
^{Oh yes, one deviation feature is a must, but you can always add more if you want}

1. who tagged me
Namo Nurufantur [link] is dfinitely the best,
but I want to point you also to the Young Nerdanel [link]
- a portrait of Nerdanel with a character.

2. has got a gallery full of light and dark fairy tales. She has painted my fav portrait of Varda Elentari [link] so far. But that's an old work, there are many new paintings,
I like to point to Twilight Dancer [link]
and In Between [link]

3. 's gallery is filled with strange and mysterious creatures, again I can't choose one image only.
You definitely got to see the Red Riding Wolf [link]
and mysterious Masked [link]
and finally my fav Sailing Over Clouds [link]

4. has got two really nice concepts in her gallery:
Who the hell is fisherman? [link]
On the dark side of the world [link]

5. started series inspired by the Ancient China.
My fav in the series are Huo Du and Da Er Ba [link]
but Xiao Long Nu [link] demands attention, too.
Finally I can't omit one old portrait to which I've got sentiment:
Feanorians - Maedhros sketch [link] - so sad, so true.

6. has got varied gallery, I love her mysterious, uneasy b&w inks the most [link]
To pick one is impossible, just an example: Dark forest [link]
Apart inks my fav from the newest is Moon in Melies style [link]

7. is new on dA, give her warm welcome!
She creates in various media, here are drawings and calligraphy.
First a very interesting take on Ered Wethrin - Death of Feanor [link]
Caligraphy and Tengwar of Fëanor - Namarie [link]
Finally there are not enough of Maglor portraits in this world,
so here is Kanafinwe Macalaure [link]

Finally a brave man! But are you ready for his gallery?

8. 's gallery is filled with violent and controversial imagery. Are you ready for such?
Before you'll enter remind yourself what does swastika symbolize [link]
My choices: electric Angel 2.0 [link]
Would you afraid of Christmas Demon? [link] (description!).
Finally, First to Fight [link] who, probably against artists intentions is a perfect Morgoth to me.

9, 10...20 - who's next?
Comment and get over here!
^{And better hurry up, I'm going off-line next Monday!}

Oh, and BTW check the new Polish band Leśne Licho playing music inspired by old tales and legends [link] & [link]
Spiewają po polsku, więc dla Polaków będzie to zdecydowanie ciekawsze zjawisko
Szczególnie polecam "Topielicę" i "Panią jeziora"

No Polcon finally, I had to stay at home. But I still plan to attend the concerts, already got tickets to GIAA & Co. (Blind Guardian's gig is free!)

I've got a new club and ~Silmarillion-Club has a new affliate: *TheLotRClub
J. R. R. Tolkien fans are welcomed to join both clubs!

Aug 25, 2009

Polcon 2009 takes place this weekend in Łódź, Im gonna be there with RotN [link] and Fornost [link] crew. Anyone else? Mozkabi?

I'm also waiting for two concerts in September - God is an Astronaut with Caspian & Tides from Nebula [link] A fantastic prog rock evening to be. And greatly anticipated Blind Guardian [link] I always wanted to see BG live, but never had a chance, then moved into different realms of music, but now I can't wait

Edit.

Chances are I will not be at Polcon, we'll see.

The clubs I'm in:

Fëanor wedded Nerdanel, a maiden of the Noldor; at which many wondered for she was not among the fairest of her people. But she was strong, and free of mind, and filled with the desire of knowledge. In her youth she loved to wander far from the dwellings of the Noldor, either beside the long shores of the Sea or in the hills; and thus she and Fëanor had met and were companions in many journeys."
– J.R.R. Tolkien, Morgoth's Ring, "The Later Quenta Silmarillion"

Nerdanel The Wise. Love of the OhSoMighty Feanor. Teh only one who was able to tame him. What does your Nerdanel look like? I'm not thinking about artworks - chances are I've seen them all especially here on dA. I'm thinking of real women - who has got visual likeness with your Nerdanel? Who has got her character?

Kupała Night at Pomerian Dukes Castle in Szczecin (Poland) takes place the nearest Saturday and Sunday 20-21 June 2009. I'm going to be there, don't know yet if both days, but the day with concerts for sure.
Event's program and info: [link]

BTW, "Home" full length can be viewed at YouTube [link]

Tomorrow Dikanda plays live in Szczecin, why not next week! I wish I knew of it earlier, we'll see, but I'm a bit busy.


<sup>Jun 5, 2009 "Home" - a breathtaking footage of Earth

Today is World Environment Day and release of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s documentary “Home” - a collection of breathtaking unique footage of Earth. Would be nice to watch it one day, here is more info and a trailer: [link]


Should I stay or should I go to Berlin? I missed the #hq World Tour in Warsaw, but I live close to German border and could go to Berlin. The last minute decision is a bit crazy, I'm not prepared at all. I'm just browsing bus possibilities right now and plotting... Anyone I know is going to be there?

Edit. Just checked the bus, too risky. I would be after the time in the meeting place. So chances I'll go are weak Next time!

May 28, 2009 Faeries keep stealing people!

The evidence is here [link] and even more evidence [link] & [link] In other words - fairy tale music by Caprice
"Faeries Stole Bridget" and "Enter Laoris" are my fav ATM, the last one is available as full track at Last.fm (link given above). They've been performing at Tolk Folk some years ago, before I have learned such convention exists at all.

*Ninquelen reminded me of Prikosnovénie main site where you'll find more fairy tale music [link]

I suggest checking the newest Gny album, too [link] "Beirblakken" and "To ravne" are great - full tracks here [link] (L.fm works better than MS)
I've seen their performance during Viking Festival in Wolin 2002, really nice people

BTW, I've met those guys [link] last Saturday It resulted in myself pretending a lute player and may result in more good news to come
