Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit
Is the online game any good still?
>>8006448There is a dedicated following of welcoming, nice people who love it. The ones I see tend to be book-only fans, and use the game to explore Tolkien's secondary world together.

Antichrist and Satan, now I know you have turned this website of my youth for your own with the help of the Jews. People with pure hearts will always find something new.Sayonara for real, this time. I hope you God makes you curl up into a ball and hide as soon as you read this.
>>8018442The pharmacist called. Your meds are ready to pick up.
>>8005302Man... it's weird but this is almost 1-1 how i imagined the scene to look like when i read it. Awesome contribution!
>>8015951The Balrog doesn't have wings.
>>8029324Yes it does.
>>8029324Book 2, Chapter 5
>>8029324>>8029330>>8029441Okay, okay, let's go to the tape:>What it was could not be seen: it was like a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark form, of man-shape maybe, yet greater; and a power and terror seemed to be in it and to go before it.[...]>His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings.[...]>The fire in it seemed to die, but the darkness grew. It stepped forward slowly on to the bridge, and suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall; but still Gandalf could be seen, glimmering in the gloom; he seemed small, and altogether alone: grey and bent, like a wizened tree before the onset of a storm.[...]>With a terrible cry the Balrog fell forward, and its shadow plunged down and vanished.It seems to me that these passages taken together only describe a supernatural shadow/darkness/gloom that the creature projects. The second reference to "wings" is a callback to the first, which is clearly a simile.
>>8030455If they aren't wings then they are big shadow-flaps for being scary which explains why it can't fly. Thanks for clearing that up. From now on, the balrogs "wings" will be called shadow flaps.
>"There is more than one eagle coming," said Aragorn.>"Certainly," said Gandalf. "We are too great a burden for one.">"There are three," said Legolas, gazing out over the plain. "See how they fly! There is Landroval, and there is Meneldor beside him! But there is another that soars ahead: a very great bird. I have not seen his like before.">"Nor will you again," said Gandalf. "He is the Windlord: the eagle of the White Rider. We are going to battle together. His name is Shadowflaps."

>>8029324>>8030455I don't mind people interpreting it literally, I think Balrogs look great with wings. That being said, this is probably my favourite artistic interpretation.
bumpses, Precious!
High res Naismith art is the pinnacle

>>8015951>>8030455I really like how Gandalfs robe is flying towards the Balrog in the movie Balrog image, as the fire of Balrog is pulling in air like a fire would.
>My image of the moment when Aragorn Legolas and Gimli find themselves encircled by the Riders of Rohan has stuck in my head, more or less unchanged, since I first read TTT, I'd always wanted to see it rendered as a painting. What I'd hoped to capture here (and only partially succeeded, in my estimation) was a feel for both the land and people of Rohan, and for the moment itself; the tension between the rushing horses and the stable trio, like the calm eye in a spiraling storm, the power and motion of that foremost horse, the endless flat plain and vast, vaulted sky of the riddermark.
I love the landscapes here so much, thank you for posting them; they're genuinely my favourite kind of wallpaperUpscaled a couple to fit my screen better
>>8041769>>8041769This is retarded. Gandalf was never "young", or at least, not like this. As one of the five Istari, he, like the others, was clothed in the flesh of an old man when he entered into Arda.
Nice to see a thread I started so long ago is still alive
>>8041769>>8043095Character design challenges aren't bound by canon, anon.
>>8043104>>8043104Fair enough.
>>8005493beautiful
Any good detailed photos of Rivendale?
>>8043900>rivendaleffs anon, get your shit together
>>8043900Rivendell*
>>8043104howd they manage to make every character look the same?Theyre not even different heights ffs>>8006507I really love this one but Gondolin was built in a circle.
>>8043900Here's a good detailed 3D render, anyway.>>8044360They used a "paper doll" character creator, where all the components are drawn to fit the same figure.
