This was influenced by Irish and Scottish art especially in the Dublin Danelag, and earlier versions I remember as more geometrically inspired. I have the idea that Dale was preceding the ancient proto-Germanic tribes in the bronze age, which was a symptom of decay, as hinted by the great man himself in the Book Of Lost Tales. Then, if bronze age culture would be inspired by an older culture, and Old Norse iconography could be traced back to the Scythian animal styles (which is said to having had influenced the Irish and general Celtic art), the Quenya and Sindarin arts would either be the predecessor of Proto-Germanic or Proto-Celtic art, resulting in either curvacious or geometrically based designs, but with no knotwork panels. Or, it could be more floral, due to Elvish obsession with plants and trees. I imagine that the Elves (inspiring human cultures) used abstractions of the floral and animal world without knotwork. The Dalians, however would be heirs to the first men in middle-earth, born under the shadow, and, if they be influenced by Elves, that must have been the elven folk of the years of twilight..., which must have had a different style of arts. In any case, the style of abstraction and the grammar would differ from Old Norse arts in a way. I am not sure, how much...also, there´s this dwarf-kingdom, and I have always associated them with more harsh, geometrically designed artwork, even before Peter Jackson did injury to the world of my imagination.<br /><br />Please take note, this is not a criticism, but just some random thoughts you inspired me (again) to...and I hope to give something back...<br /><br /><br />Have.
