Vol. 3Inspirecosplay comic

The Lord of the rings

Galadriel

I loved comic books as a kid and I never

realized how this had shaped me until

I was nearing completion of this magazine

volume. That's when it hit me...

this is likely why I became a designer!

While studying the details of my comics

I saw page after page of the most

brilliant typography and layout design.

My medium might be different than the

sketch artists I came to admire, but I think

our goal was the same...

to inspire others, a younger generation,

to be creative.

These days heroes are not limited to

paper; they have made it to our theatres,

televisions and tablets. but Something is

still missing! something that can not be

captured in real life. monstrous, epic,

powerful... only our imaginations can

create these kinds of details.

We used a mix of photography and digital

art to recreate J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy

character Galadriel.

Thank you to Walter, Alex and Kay for

helping to make this work possible. I hope

this is just the first of many books we

create together.

At the entrance to the forbidden Golden Wood…

A secret power dwells that halts evil in its path…

A silver stream of many possibilities

flows…

And the fair Galadriel, L ady of Lo rien, gathers its waters, for she has much she wishes

to see.

’

No unease graces the gentle features of the

Elfen ruler, yet her mind is weary with the burden of troubled thought.

Long have I gazed upon

your woods in joyous wonder.

Long have the Elves dwelt in your

farthest reaches in peace.

Yet not far from our

borders, the darkness grows steadily and with

increasing power.

O Lothlorien!

Golden is your roof that houses us.

’

Sweet is

the sound that spills forth from

your rivers.

splash!

A great eye, loathsome to behold, affirms the foreboding in her heart.

From her ewer spills the waters

of fate.

A phial is gathered by the Lady, captured from the star of Eärandil. Surely it

will shed some light in these grave times.

How long will this

land remain safe? How long

before the Elves are driven from

these very foundations?

It is said there is a great land across the Sea. It is told of in

legends and spoke of in whispers.

Is that where our destiny truely lies?

Is the end of the Third Age upon us?
