I know! In this, my first study of the classic animation principles, I tried
to work on strong poses and to add personality - and I may have achieved
that, but it just looks wrong! But that is what to expect - animation is an
art that takes a long time to learn...

Ah, that is so much his personality - thanks!

I'm not sure it would fit into this animation, but I'll remember it for some
other time.

I'll see what I can do.

Very interesting links there!

According to what I've read my name in Sindarin would actually be Thurin.

AL's name might be Calen Menelcallon (Sindarin) or maybe Ezel Elendil
(Quenya) - just kidding ;)

Well, those elven names probably doesn't fit so well into AL's universe. But
they can be used for inspiration anyway...

Thanks for the feedback!
