      I’d say not really, Tolkien was a writer, not an artist.

      What you are doing is violating the trademark Middle-Earth Enterprises has on the Gandalf character.

        The point was that I absorbed that information to inform my “art”, since we’re equating training with stealing.

        I guess this would have been a better example lol. It’s clearly not Gandalf, but I wouldn’t have ever come up with it if I hadn’t seen that scene
