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

Hi Obama

I like

the cleft

yeah

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.

little troll lol

the dwarf is named Gimli. those movies are very good =D. i like them a lot.

ZivilynBane

when the heck does pikachu kill ron and *HERMIONE**** lol this is awesome i love the part in idk which # but like the little troll dude and legolas compete to see who can kill the most beasts

I have

all three movies, plus the 12 disc box set of extended editions...
pure awesomeness

thats amazing!!!

wow thats awesome!!!! how do u make ur things soo realistic u have to spend like DAYS on them!!!!!!

no worries

i havent seen all the movies ever made either =D

4/5

really cool
i never watched lord of the rings before, well, atleast, not fully
i watched different parts of LOTR 1,2 and 3 but never got the chance to watch it fully

Good but

Lacking in shading and detail.

idk...

it's just so so with me.

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.

thanks =D

i liked the joker a bit better too =P

Meh. :/

looks like now

he's clad in red and red and red and a bit of dark red
do pikachu when he feels bad for killing ron and harmony.
when he was fighting mordor, king of darkness
and the cheek thing doesn't look so good

lol, I find it funny because I was watching the two towers yesterday evening. It's not as accurate as the joker, and it's unrecognizable, I wouldn't have known it was legolas if I hadn't seen the movie or hadn't read the title

Very nice!

4/5aveds
