*UPDATED* Here is a masterpost of MOOCs (massive open online courses) that are available, archived, or starting soon. Some are short, some are very interactive, some are very in-depth. I think they will help those that like to learn with a teacher or with videos. I checked each link to make sure they are functioning.

Nerdanel – Color Okay! First piece on HD monitor. I LOVE being able to see things properly. I know there are some bits I still need to touch up, but give me feedback on how this looks on your monitors. I might need to calibrate one more time. Other than that, please enjoy. Also: I like my Nerdanel’s hair this color. I don’t really care if you like my interpretation. Paint her for yourself in any way that you wish. Please and thank you 🙂
I hope you enjoy~

Done! Finally. This killed me on so many levels. Prints will be available at my booth at RPC in Germany! I’m wondering if some of you would be interested in buying them online? Then I would set a shop. : )
“Manwë is the dearest to Iluvater and understands most clearly his purposes. He was appointed to be, in fullness of time, the first of all Kings: lord of the realm of Arda and ruler of all that dwell therein. In Arda his delights is in the winds and the clouds, and in all the regions of the air, from the heights to the depths, from the utmost borders of the Veil of Arda to the breezes that blow in the grass. Sulimo he is surnamed, Lord of the Breath of Arda. All swift birds, strong of wing, he loves, and they come and go at his bidding.”
