POLL: Elves and such

Remove all ads!

Hey diddly, once more, yall. This time I need a little help with my graphics coursework. If you can just answer the questions, that would be great.

I need to present the data to show that I've researched the area I'm working in, even though I know all there is to know about elven restaurants.

Are elves hippies, yerril?
Peace, love and harmony.

 

I'm not sure what the Rainforest Cafe is, so I said no. But I have eaten at a Viking-themed place called Vahalla in the strip, does that count?

 

Yerril, Yerril, Yerril! Wizards...are not men! Geez!



(They really aren't, read the Silmarillion and Book of Lost Tales I and II.)

 

The sun sears my flesh to charred ashes.

 

Indeed! I voted men because I liked the wizards best, but puleaze! whatever wizards are they are no ordinary men!

 

Wizards are maiar...In MEN shapes, they bascly function as men bodily, though they posess mental powers. I understand him though, Ainur as a choice would be to powerful.

I love elves! And hobbits...

 

Yes Rivendell is the best location. So cool. Will we be seeing Rivendell again in the next two?

 

I liked Rivendell the best, but Dwarves were the coolest race. If I were an elf I wouldn't have this sexy beard would I?

 

Rivendell rocked. It rocked in the book; it rocked in the movie (within reason =).

And, elves have other physical features/abilities to make up for their lack of beards. At least, the female elves do; in my little fantasy world...

If this survey was meant to reflect the general public, I'd say that "do you know what an elf is" question has an "obvious" answer simply because it is posted on SP.

 

I think Rivendell is in the next one, even though it was not in the book.

Actually, now that I think about it, has anyone got any links to some good pictures of elves? Elven architechture would be even better, but I'm not fussy...

 

Can a fantasy race have architecture examples?


Your best bet would be to watch LOTR - I think they did a great job creating elven architecture. I've always imagined gracefule designs, with sylvan undertones. Very similar to what they used in the movie.

 

@Yerril: this is pretty much the only pic of an elf that I like. It is also my avitar over at FWP. Kitrax's pic

The Drow rule supreame!!!

 

It's also the Solaufein pic from Weimer's mod.

There's a number of good elf pics at Kitiara's site (see the links section of sorcerers.net) and at nwvault.ign.com

 

Baruk Khazad! Khazad ai menu!!!

Although elves are fun, I must prefer the dwarven people - stubborn and hairy - kind of like someone I know...

 

Yerril, they aren't the best, but some of them are amazing: Brighnasa Arts

 

Well, a surprisingly small amount of people have been to the rainforest café. May I recommend it now, its damn fine.

 

Why would i want to be an elf when I'm a half-dragon???
Anyway pretty good poll...lmao when you said "The little guys who help out santa"

Padeen Dragonblade!
