The icon bunnies have struck again.

Well, I was reading through a thread on the Brothers of Gondor message board titled 'What did Finduilas look like?'. Someone posted a link to a John Williams Waterhouse picture, and I liked it. It tied in with my mental image of Finduilas, especially after reading b2wm  's fics about her. So I started clicking around, and went looking for more pics of other Tolkien females in the pre-raphaelite style. ( < / art geekiness >.)

I found lots of pretty pictures, and thought: 'I can't just lose track of these! I should save them!' And then the icon bunnies bit, and swarmed, and even though I've made about 30 icons today they still won't stop pestering me, damn things. Why am I nattering on like this? Because I think the world needs more icons about Melian (and also Morwen, and Rian, and the Finduilasses, etc.) If you read Tolkien, I'd like to know if these icons look like your mental images of the characters.

Anyway, on to the icons. These are all icons of Melian the Maia, although I made some plain ones that could be bases for other characters. Feedback is a lovely, lovely thing, and if you like them so much that you take one, please credit me or at least tell me which one you've taken.

( Lots of Melian icons. It's the bunnies, I tell you. The bunnies. )
