Description And now for dizzying amounts of pointless crosshatching! XD

Anyways, this is my contest entry for 's "Elflings" contest! It was summer midterm week for me, so I didn't have time for a big finished piece, so you get completely silly cartoony doodles!

So for the purposes of amusement, this is my take on elflings. Because you know what? I say that every single elf child cannot possibly be dignified, intelligent, and well-behaved. They're children. XD And some kids keep sticking shiny things in their mouths and that sort of silliness rather older than they ought to. XP And it amuses me to think that someone later called "The Wise" could have been one of those kids. So here's little bitty Turgon terrorizing his poor brother, as 40-something Fingon seriously regrets wearing that shiny gold stuff in his hair, and starts to think that kinslaying doesn't sound like half a bad idea.

Also, a bonus of sleepy baby Ambarussa because they're cute. Amras is on the left and Amrod is on the right. Nerdanel gave them different socks so everyone can tell them apart. XD

Medium: Microns, prismacolor pencils, HORRIBLE PAPER. For real. Bee Paper Company pen sketchers paper. Never ever use colored pencil on this, I had to re-ink the whole thing because the pencil picked the ink right up off the paper and smudged like a bitch.
Time: Like 10 hours, literally. WAY too long. Thanks crappy paper. XD

My artist's notes are too long. XD

Awwww. The Ambarussa are so cute. And Fingon is likely cursing his parents for making him watch Turgon. My sister was like many people's...if it caught her attention, it went in her mouth to be chewed on. Normally, that meant either my hair, or the cat's tail (the cat quickly learned to avoid going within so many feet of my sister...I, unfortunately didn't have that choice.) Lucky cat so complete sympathies with Fingon.

This is really wonderful looking.

Thank you! I don't have a sibling, but people keep saying their siblings did that. XD (Now you're just putting the bouncy thing because you know I think it's ridiculously adorable XD I see through youuu)

You're welcome! It's something most little kids do...the little boy I babysat did the same thing. (No, I really love...almost all of my comments have it somewhere. Including on Twitter, where it doesn't even show up as being adorable, but all my friends know what I mean....)

I babysat a little boy for years, but he was 8 when I started, so he was a little too old. XD Also I had like no hair at the time. XD

LadyBrookeCelebwen In reply to avi17 [2011-08-04 08:03:50 +0000 UTC]

Let's see...I baby sat the kid from about 8 months to 4 years, so he was pretty young, and still doing it.

Awwww <3 I babysat mine from 8 to like 12...he had really paranoid parents, he totally didn't need a babysitter by the end of it. XD We had fun watching movies together though.

Mine was my old neighbor's son...he was truly adorable, though he grew like a weed. He's 7 now, and is almost to my collar bone. He's easily going to reach 6 and a half ft, like his dad was.

I had loads of fun with mine...especially since they bought pizza for him and me, every time I babysat almost.

Mine did that until they went vegan and then raw-foods-only. Then I usually had to bring my own food. XD The kid is going to high school now though... (mind blown)

LadyBrookeCelebwen In reply to avi17 [2011-08-04 08:24:44 +0000 UTC]

Lol! There was no chance of that with mine. They were big lasanga/hamburgers/pizza, etc. eaters...sadly, the dad died of an infection a year and a half ago. Poor little kid isn't taking it well, and neither is the guy's step-son, who is my age....

I want Fingon's tunic!!! And I know how he feels because my sister used to nom on my hair when she was a baby; long golden hair was her favorite... -_-"
I also love Ambarussa. They're so cute and asleep

LOL, it's totally cute...
You cracked me up with the different-coloured socks. Great idea!

[Fingon can't think about kinslaying, it hasn't happened yet.]

Well, as a joke it's okay. There's nothing like a good, nasty joke. |devilish grin|

You're welcome!

I agree, children are always children. I think it's creepy when they are too well behaved
