wrechednothing: Thranduil and baby Legolas Well executed, and conveys real beauty. Minor quibble….nothing in Professors Tolkien’s vast body of work ever attributed pointy ears to the Quendi (be they Vanya, Noldo, or Teleri). In fact, he several times specifically states that Men (the Atani) and Elves (certainly the Eldar) were very alike, save that the Eldar were somewhat taller and more slender, and much the greater physical beauty and inner light.But to give the artist their due…Elves and pointy ears is deeply ingrained in popular culture. And then there’s Peter Jackson. -- source link
