It's been established I write better than I draw, and I have some lovely wonderful friends and family members who are awesome artists. I do love to color things in, though, and often do so for these wonderful, wonderful people. (hint to anyone who likes to draw but can't stand the coloring part...)

So, that's the prelude to this entry, where there are three pieces of work, two by the lovely Mei, and one by the awesome Mark aka da hubby, which I did not draw at all, but I did splash the rainbow on, in a manner of speaking.

	Celebrian This was drawn by Mark for the story 'Sailing Away'. Originally, I used markers, but I redid the image with pencils. I think the swan looks much better.
	Ecthelion This Mei drew a few years back; it was one of the last ones I recall her drawing. It's supposed to be Ecthelion right after a shower -- reborn Valinor version, since I always wrote Ecthelion with shorter hair in Gondolin.
	Arwen and Elrond Arwen presenting her ada with a flower. Mei did this one, again, about two or three years back. I've started to color it multiple times, but sometimes you just happen to know when it's the right time to do it. It seemed like the flower was the same kind as in the Erestor Fairie picture she drew, so I tried to get the colors right, though it came out a little dark.
