Not bad, nice model. You might define the trousers more - with shadowing. And his crown of leaves - make it longer in back of his head. Some parts are still more detailed than others.

Thanks! Nice to get concrit. :)

I see what you mean about the leaves, should have noticed that!

I'm thinking of doing some more work on the leggings... I really suck at shadowing but I need to practice, not give up! :P

Tou don't suck at shadowing, you need to detail it more. Some help you'll find here:

I must do my homework there, oops!

Oh, thank you! I'm bookmarking that for future referance!

Just checking who this guy is... Have you seen the image behind him - the one down on the left where he wears a crown of leaves/flowers on?

that would be nice to turn into Thranduil :D

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

Hmmm I like! I wonder if there's a big version of that available!

[sirielle.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the bigger one. All this b&w set in background looks yummy.

why is he hugging a piece of wood when he could be hugging me? lol nice work tx binky x

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

LOL he's a tease, that's why! ;)

[thewenchywiccan.livejournal.com]

Hail to the King, baby! >D Thanks for sharing! *hugs*

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

LOL thanks! Glad you like!

[erynlinia.livejournal.com]

I gotta agree with binky on this one...that wood just cannot hug him back the way we could! *wicked grin*

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

LOL but he loves to tease!

Thanks!

I love that predatory gleam in his eyes.

Thanks! Glad you like!

[luin77.livejournal.com]

Oh gorgeous! That gives 'treehugger' a whole new, much sexier meaning! :)

Is that Markus Schenkenberg?

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

LOL I never thought of that!

Heh, yes it is! He was perfect for Thranduil I thought!

[daeomae.livejournal.com]

Oh this is simply lovely, Tux dear! *grins* Am I mistaken, or did you use Marcus Schenckenberg for the model here? He's dreamy! *winks*


*Mwah*

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks! Yeah, though I didn't know his name until after I did the manip! :P

I'd like to see a little more definition between his leg and the tree, but other than that, it looks great! But he looks lovely and I'm sure my body is way softer than that tree. He could lean on me if he needs something to hold.

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

LOL he could, but first you have to tell me who you are! :D

Thanks, I'm glad you like it and I agree the leg needs work. :)

[maelleconstance.livejournal.com]

So that's why they are called wood elves! Nicely done, sweetie; thanks for sharing!

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Yup!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

[nienna-weeper.livejournal.com]

He's pretty.

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[sidhegraphics.livejournal.com]

Beautifully done Tux.....I have always adored this base and I'm glad to see you have done miracles with it....Lovely hair and while I agree that the leggings should be a bit more defined, I think its a fine job...

Hugs,
Leanan

Thanks! I still really struggle with lighting and shading, gets me every time! Glad you liked it, especially the hair.

[sadiesil.livejournal.com]

Very good work. Really beautiful! Thanks for sharing it.

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :)

WOW!

[ennorwen.livejournal.com]

Well. She says, fanning herself. That is ONE HOT elf! Love the eyes, the arms, the hair, the hands. Oh geez, Tux, the hands! This is right up there in how I'd like to picture the Elvenking. Just luscious.

Love, E

Re: WOW!

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

LOL thanks! I'm glad you approve! *Grins*

[sigsauer40.livejournal.com]

Well now... he's hot!

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm glad you think so!

[larienelengasse.livejournal.com]

*squeals* That's my favorite man ever... I mean, ever. I think I might have every picture ever taken of him. (Obsessive? Nah...) He's my Glorfindel model, btw...

Lovely job, Tux! I can't leave concrit because I don't know beans about doing manips, but I do know what I like when I see it.

[tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com]

Thanks - I'm glad you like it! He was fun to work with. ;) Yup, I could see him working as Glorfindel too!

[fimbrethiel]

Dreamy and scrumptious! I don't think I've ever seen the luscious Marcus as a model for Thranduil before, but I like it. Even better than I like him as Glorfindel, I think. And that's saying something. *grin*

I wish they make him a top model on The Hobbit.
I'm tired of Hollywood only bothering to put young and gorgeous women on movies, Lotr and all Tolkien's for us.
