Generally, only elves with royal blood would have blonde hair. I believe there was only 2 known elves in Middle-Earth with blonde hair. But as you seem to be basing it on the films you can disregard that comment

I commented on the tower guard shield because it seemed like you improved the quality of the main skin while leaving the shield untouched. If that isn't the case then you can disregard that comment aswell

[Kwen]

lol, i can make some brown hair, okay?

[Master Windu]

You added Elrond a cloak. I dont know whether or not he had one in the movies, but I'm curious as to how you dealt with the animation problems with the cloak.

[Kwen]

Haldir anims



And i see cape!

[Master Windu]

Glad you gave Elrond a cloak. And i'm also glad to see that the Haldir anims look good on him. Good work

[Gangsta' Hobbits]

Pretty!

BTW are those models in ur sig based on M:TW2?

[Kwen]

of course they look good on him, its the same anims only with a cape

[Master Windu]

Really? Then thats really useful. Many, many people have been trying to add cloaks to elves, and without sucess, but if this is true then that is really good news.

[Kwen]

its cool that i am FINALLY getting some appreciation, my last 6 mods nobody every gave a shit i feel proud of myself... still i wish i had a bit of help :| but meh, i'm getting along fine

[Gangsta' Hobbits]

You think that lil' cape could work vertically? Like if someone is flying???

[morgoth946]

we haven't stopped, just deleted the ages stuff.
So no copyright now It's your.
Anyway Joe, the ages stuff was our idea.
Nice work btw, though some skins need more detail.

[Kwen]

hmmm it didnt show up, meh here it is again

[Celeglin]

Generally, only elves with royal blood would have blonde hair. I believe there was only 2 known elves in Middle-Earth with blonde hair.

Galadriel, Thranduil, Glorfindel, Finrod Felagund, Angrod, Aegnor. Other possibile blonde-haired Elves by bloodline are Orodreth, Celebrian, Gil-Galad (quite sure he was described as dark haired though), Amdir, Amroth, Oropher, and Legolas.

But as you seem to be basing it on the films you can disregard that comment

There were plenty of non-blonde Lothlorien elves in the movies: it's just our first impression (being Haldir and his brothers, all blonde in the movies) that makes us think so.

Aaaanywho, nice job on that Selene model... Though why you put it in this thread rather than your Skins/Models thread is beyond me .

yeah well nobody cares much about my models thread

[Juan]

Just a question. Why would Sauron be weaker in the first age than in the second age? If anything, he would be stronger under the influence of Morgoth... And why do you have Gil-Galad as a first age hero instead of giants like Fingon, Maedhros, Fingolfin, Turgon... I could go on all day to name heroes better suited than Gil-Galad

Anyways, I hope you succeed with the Ages system. We at T4A abandonded it because of various reasons, like the fact that everyone were stronger in the first age, so noone would want to upgrade to the next age... I mean, who gives up Turin for Isildur or Maedhros for Elrond? Another reason is that it would take a huge amount of work and ideas to come up with original, balanced and working factions that would last through the ages... Well, with that said, good luck

On a sidenote... I believe there were far more than two blone elves in Middle-Earth. The ones Celeglin mentioned are the ones named, but there must have been many others, undoubtedly. As seen many of the Noldor took Vanyar spouses (Turgon, Finwë, Finrod for examples) and some children from those unions were blonde (even though it doesn't work that way biologically), no doubt.

I mean, who gives up Turin for Isildur or Maedhros for Elrond?

I would.... cause I don't know shit about the events in the first two ages or, maybe 1%

I like the Movies way best.... and the LotR book, but haven't read any others though (well, The Hobbit though, but does that count very much? ) And I've always wanted to read the Sim, but I didn't know where to get it

[Kwen]

well i dont want ot make too many powerful heroes for elves, seeing as they already have a ton, and my mods not supposed to be historicly acurate, its more the playing feel of it, its based like the age of empires series, the first age is weak, like only 1 unit type, second is stronger, and third stronger yet.

And i dont know why i'd make sauron weaker in first age, i just wasnt thingking right i guess

try amazon, its always good for stuff like that, or go to a local book shop, im sure they would get one in for you.
