Not entirely sure what you're asking? The theme is to design your own Tolkien character, so that would be somebody that is what YOU would be if you were to go to Middle Earth. How you accomplish that is up to you sorry if I misunderstand

That's ok. Wheat I meant to say was Disney characters dressed up like Tolkien characters like Mickey as Frodo, Grumpy Dwarf as Thorin, etc.

I know the rules of the contest. I just wanted to see if what I wanted to submit was also allowed.

oh okay, I guess so? I guess as long as your character isn't like that then whatever you surround yourself with is okay

buenodavista In reply to ImmortanLady [2016-02-13 23:57:24 +0000 UTC]

I will consult and get back to you  

(also do you not draw or something? you don't need photoshop to imagine yourself as a Tolkien character!)

ImmortanLady In reply to buenodavista [2016-02-15 21:54:07 +0000 UTC]

xD "IF I WERE A TOLKIEN CHARACTER..."
...so my imagine character would be for example wizard-male, but in real life I'm a girl can I do this in that way?

buenodavista In reply to ImmortanLady [2016-02-17 22:02:18 +0000 UTC]

yep that's fine. If you read the rules it clearly states you're free to interpret that however you want.

SirMersi In reply to buenodavista [2016-01-30 22:19:48 +0000 UTC]

Specific right? hmm... I just no idea how I can understand "If I were..." maybe other participants can help me, how they interpret it?

buenodavista In reply to SirMersi [2016-01-31 04:12:11 +0000 UTC]

Well just think of how or who you would be if you were a character in one of Tolkien's books.

Does that make more sense? Design yourself as a character you think you'd find.
