Nienor on Haudh-en-Elleth, revised sketch
Added 2015-05-05 18:00:14 +0000 UTCA revised version of the earlier Nienor sketch, zoomed out slightly to show more of the mound she's lying on. I plan to fill nearly the entire canvas with either white periwinkle or anemones. I'm scared already. O_o Do you know any other ground-cover plants (preferably white) that would look good here?

Maybe it's a bit too mundane to grow on the grave of an elf-maid. I'll probably just go for classic squiggles!

2015-06-07 04:58:36 +0000 UTCYou've already given Thranduil fuchsias, which are native to South America and..........New Zealand. And now you've referenced both the Lego movie and trousers, I can't get away from a 'honey, where are my pants?' caption.

2015-05-14 11:40:51 +0000 UTCOh, those are pretty, Erin! Though I just noticed they only seem to grow in Australia and New Zealand, and I usually try to stick to European pants. Though I could probably make an exception for everything growing in Middle Zealand. ;)

2015-05-07 17:24:01 +0000 UTCAnemone is a top choice, though I've mainly settled on periwinkle now - until I reread the scene (smart move, to do that after finishing the line art), and realised I had got so much of it wrong that I'm not sure I'll continue. I'd totally forgotten the rain and thunderstorm.

2015-05-07 17:14:52 +0000 UTCWood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) ?

2015-05-07 17:09:30 +0000 UTCNone of the flowers of Middle-earth work Jenny?

2015-05-07 17:08:01 +0000 UTCHmmm I can feel a diptych coming on ;-)

2015-05-07 17:06:35 +0000 UTCYes, myrtle is already on my list. So hard to choose!

2015-05-06 17:51:41 +0000 UTCOn a hilltop under a tree opens a ton of possibilities. :D

2015-05-06 17:49:15 +0000 UTCOoh! I like that.

2015-05-06 17:48:49 +0000 UTCCreeping phlox is another good one.

2015-05-06 11:49:21 +0000 UTCDepends on where the mound is located. Under trees or openly on a hilltop, where the sun might shine directly upon it. This difference would make grow also different kinds of flowers I think.

2015-05-05 22:01:05 +0000 UTCHi Jenny! The picture is coming along nicely! When I think of ground cover, my thoughts always go to myrtle and there are some species of myrtle with white flowers. I googled "myrtle flower groundcover" and lots of pretty pics came up.
