Because I'm too retarded to make one myself. Has anyone made any LOTR themed Gondolas?

Maybe just have a single gondola rowing through. Or something Shire related because you can't go wrong with that.
>>1057792
I'll get back to you on that soon, I can't find many good images or points in the video where the other boats aren't present, or the existing boats aren't close enough to put a visible gondola. and I don't know if i'd be good enough to shop them out, but we'll see.

Gondola does what a Gondola does, he stands, watches, observes and learns. Gondolas do what comes naturally, watching. It's all they can do for such a creature that can not speak, but it has no reason to speak for it just watches. Standing tall and humble, watching the kids play from a park bench, watching the birds from a grassy hill to the miracle of birth. Each feeling what only a gondola can feel from just watching, peace. Peace is what they only feel and with each person they observe or take interest upon, they too will feel the peace of a gondola. A peace that the world would one day know from take a different look at the way of life from watching beauty in all things. Something a Gondola knows all to well. The watchful eye of a gondola is something to celebrate.
How did the Gondolas get their name?

You're my fucking MVP dude. I've been trying to find this song since late last night.
>>1058294
because its such a specific aesthetic that's zeroed in on providing totally different atmospheres in quick 2-3 minute bursts. each gondola video is a microcosm of what the creator was feeling at the time of its creation, in a way gondolas are avatars into a persons inner most appreciation of the interaction between sound and visuals.
to "win" at the gondola you must create something that is utterly unpretentious and representitive of what you want the viewer to feel while watching it. they're deceptively personal.
gondola threads are a refreshing oasis from the culture of competitive cynicism that 4chan fosters in which posters bury their content under so many layers of irony nothing is real.
gondolas in their simplicity have somehow isolated themselves from the hate machine and seem to be attracting a following rather quickly because of this.
Well i'm hooked now. I'll be coming back for my fix sometime soon.
>>1056044
I'll never know this song
And it hurts.
Freshly made. I'm no artist, but I felt this was an untapped market.
Posting my OC from a while back. I need to make more with their own backgrounds.

>tfw you'll never go on a grand adventure
>>1058521
I agree up to a point. I think you're right on the little vignettes of atmosphere, and how they represent how the creator of them felt at the time.
My question would be if these aren't under a few layers of irony in themselves. As silly as it may sound, consider showing them to someone else. How would you explain them? How would you justify their existence? They're a two legged bear thing being injected into sombre scenes with no words, context, or explanation.
The question is whether that irony makes them more effective or not. I find it does, personally. I think the fact that they're so hard to explain is what makes the way they're inserted into scenes more thoughtful.

> How would you explain them? How would you justify their existence? They're a two legged bear thing being injected into sombre scenes with no words, context, or explanation.
ideally it shouldn't have to be explained to work. a good gondola evokes an emotion, feeling or atmosphere so concisely that the viewer intuitively understands the context of the character and whatever setting it happens to be in. a good gondola scene immerses the viewer almost instantly in its internal logic. at least that was the first reaction i had to the initial gondolas i had seen which led me to me into making gondolas.
people tend to have strong reactions to something that has a unexplained internal logic that simply seems to exist in spite of any context.
works like the paintings of zdzislaw beksinski, skeleton jelly, Prophet (2012 image comic), wayne barlowe's work, dark souls etc. are good examples of this.
my preference for this type of narrative is what i found so appealing about gondola.

>Gondola was not a mistake
Gondolas are relaxed, harmless creatures that observe their environment. They rarely interfere anything, but just keep observing. They rarely talk, just look around and smile. This makes them very different from other creatures such as spurdo, that feel, pepe, yoba, etc.
Gondola is the silent walker. Having no hands he embodies the Taoist
principle of wu-wei (non-action) while his smiling facial expression
shows his utter and complete acceptance of the world as it is.
>utter and complete acceptance of the world as it is
maybe we all feel like observers
