Well, I do keep a link to it under "links" on the left side of my opening journal page along with one to my fic, but you have to scroll down to see it, I'll admit. Otherwise there's a link on my "User's Info." page, but who looks at that? you may well ask.
If you just click open the first one, you can just keep clicking, "Next," to view them full-size. Otherwise, just click on the image you are interested in and it will enlarge. There are two pages. Actually, there is probably something to click at the top to access Photobucket, too, if you are interested in checking out what they have to offer.
I started making them to entertain myself and other besotted posters in Frodo's Harem, a thread at Khazad-dum (a Tolkien messageboard). The first ones I made were meant to be funny, since we were always talking about film Frodo's "art masterpiece"-classical beauty. But I soon found that I could make really beautiful images of him, too. Others were merely excuses to see him dressed in the costume and look of another era.
He really is a splendid model!
To make them, I used the photoshopping programs we already had loaded on our machine at home. For almost all the manipping I used the older, Microsoft Digital Image Pro 7.0, because I understood more easily how to find the things I needed on it. For almost all the cropping and re-sizing I used ACDSee 7.0 which does those functions more easily. ACDSee does everything the other program does and more, but I don't understand how to use most of its functions or how to access the tools. I don't really know how to use either of them properly; I just kept learning things as I fiddle. People who manip a lot seem to prefer PhotoShop.
