Bah.. I agree with Lauri and Juan here. They look awfully fake and un-Tolkien'ish.

[offtopic] Lauri, are you on one major posting spree at the moment, that's like 8 posts in 10 minutes :cool: [/offtopic] :grin:

As far as I know they were drawn on paper originally by Tolkien then computerised recently.

Also, Silmarillion is a fantasy tale with elves and dragons, so maybe that explains the "cartoonish"

well if you use them, at least redraw them :)

anyway, even though they are drawn by tolkien, i don't think they fit well with the designs by WETA and EA, which are of course dominant in the game

I don't see what's so ''fake'' or ''cartoony'' about those emblems. First of all, Tolkien did draw them, so they are not fake. Second, they fit in with all the Elven emblems. They are symbolicaly drawn, not meant to be realistic.

Ever taken a look at the Elven banners? They're all plastered with Tolkien's Elven heraldry. Heck, even the Galadhrim armour has some on it. I think Kwen could find a good way of working these emblems into his skins as well.
