Robinka:
Great art links! 
About slash:
| Quote: | I've tried to think it out and several reasons have come to my mind:
- people find het art boring or less atractive
- maybe they consider elves effeminate because of beauty
- on the contrary they may think female characters aren't powerful enough to be equal partners.
Anyway I don't like all those Thranduil/Haldir, Glorfindel/Erestor etc. fics. I've read few and come to conclusion they are ridiculous though some of them are very well written |
I think it is because there are not enough canon women to go around...

Plenty of canon women/females around... what is lacked is ready-made canon women, you know, where you don't have to use too much imagination and canon-knowledge to build a 3D character worthy of the name...

Thank you Robinka, I'm checking those out now. I guess soon photo manips are going to be a thing of the past if New Line has their way. So perhaps NOW we can get some of the fantasy artists out there to meet the need and make some really good Tolkien/Elf/Just Plain Ole Het, fantasy art. Please?????

I went to that site Robinka, I now know how to say mermaid in Polish. Syreny hehe. Still a bit cartoonish but I loved the Glorfindel drawing. Of course, I would.
Thanx hon.

Good Het art is hard to find, but when you're lucky, you come across a bit here and there. Here's the link to one of my fave artists (she has slash too, so beware -- although they're clothed!). She has a lovely drawing of Eomer and Lothiriel, I don't think it qualifies as NC17, but it's a start .
http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/h/o/hopehoover/hopehoover.html
You can also check here, but you'll need to wade through MUCH slash to find something Het.

Thanks Thuriniel, I love the picture of Glorfindel from Hope Hoover's gallery:  http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/h/o/hopehoover/glorfindels_fall.jpg.html, and Eomer with Lothiriel looks great too.
Most of the works from that polish site: http://anez.aq.pl/ can be also found here: http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/a/n/anez/anez.html - just to help anyone who doesn't want to waste time clicking on weird  polish words to check where those links lead
And some more pictures (but not all is erotica, or human - there are mermaids and fairies etc.):
http://www.drakkan.com/phoenix/angels/angelspg6.htm check the one by Billy Tackett, lovers.

Thu, I'm a huge Hope Hoover fan. I love her stuff
Triss, thank you for the links, there were a couple I hadn't seen before.
Unfortunately, with a very few exceptions, Luis and Boris are the monster bonker guys. Not that I don't like any of the non het/non human stuff. I just don't understand, with all the het fic fans, why someone hasn't compiled a comprehensive collection of erotic fantasy art in one place. I'm sure some of them know that there's a deman. Thanks so much everyone for all the cool art links.

I'm glad to be of any help
It realy irks me how much more pictures there are of females in comparison to males or couples. I understand that there are a lot of male artists in the fantasy art bisnes (and they prefer to draw nude girls) but couldn't they at least draw some more (human) couples? I've spent way too much time looking for those pictures.  |

Maybe somebody will start a Het only ART archive 
Wading through Elfwood is worse than wading through FF.net

It's not really erotic, but Jenny Dolfin has some nice work.
http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/g/o/goldseven/goldseven.html
I absolutely adore her rendition of Fingolfin.
Anke-Katrin Eissman is has some beautiful watercolours online
http://fan.theonering.net/rolozo/collection/eiszmann?hide=-3
She definitely is inspired by the books and not the movies.
Hmmm...still not erotic.
Pretty, but not erotic.
Sorry!
