Description | Tolkien first describes Legolas in The Fellowship of the Ring as "a strange Elf, clad in green and brown".
As part of the Fellowship of the Ring, Legolas is armed with a bow and arrows and a long knife. While the Fellowship attempts to cross Caradhras, Legolas alone remains light-hearted. He is little affected by the blowing winds and snow; he does not even wear boots, only light shoes, and his feet scarcely make imprints on the snow - illustrating the Elves' otherworldliness. Legolas' hair colour is not definitively stated. Both Ralph Bakshi and Peter Jackson make him blond in their respective film adaptations. In a musical version of The Lord of the Rings, Legolas is dark-haired. In the real-time strategy game The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring, his hair is white or silver. Though neither Legolas' age nor his birthdate are directly given in Tolkien's writings, some passages indicate he is far older than Aragorn and Gimli. For instance, he calls them "children" and says he has seen "many an oak grow from acorn to ruinous age". The Appendices to The Lord of the Rings do reveal Gimli's and Aragorn's birthdates: at the time of the War of the Ring, they are 139 and 87 respectively. Though his father and his kingdom appear in The Hobbit, Legolas does not appear himself, as his character had yet not been created (though his name had). However, since he is over 139 years old, being older than Gimli, he must have been alive during the events of The Hobbit, which take place less than a century before the Quest of Mount Doom. The name Legolas is a Sindarian dialect form which means "Greenleaf" (thus, Greenleaf is not his surname nor his epithet (as with Oakenshield), but a translation of his name. It consists of the Sindarin words laeg, green; and golas, a collection of leaves, foliage (being a prefixed collective form of las(s), leaf). Thanks wikipedia again =D Edit: Tags |

you could make pink that way, but it's more of a purplish pink. but the other alternative (my less favourite one) is mines, checked or spaced out.

not that great
...you can use any of my arts at any time, I have no use for them anymore.
If ever do another n-art... legolas looks good.
but you need to work on your shading and/or shadows.
