  • Ok, I'll update it.

  • The Sun (from Lord of the Rings Tarot Cards by Sceith-A)

    Jump

  • Hah, the "Hanged Man" is Frodo caught in Shelob's webbing! That artist apparently made 32 tarot cards. I think there are actually 78 cards in a tarot deck, any idea if they're going to do the full deck?

    Thanks for contributing!

  • Boromir's death (Bakshi 1978)

    Jump

  • It has been ages since I watched that. I don't think I appreciated it as much when I was younger since I was more familiar with The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Rankin Bass cartoons. But, this just looks so unique and interesting that I should really re-watch it as an adult to see what it's like. The great thing about Tolkien's work is the wide variety of artistic interpretations. I love them all.

    Thanks for posting!

  • I wrote a program that generated this video which plots the paths of all characters in Lord of the Rings.

    Jump

  • Thanks! It was a fun project. Some day I hope to go back to it and add more detail. Maybe change the timing on the early parts so that there isn't as much dead time while Boromir is the only one travelling. I'm always working on something, so it may be a while. I never did get around to adding The Fox, which was always kind of a joke, but I felt it needed to be in there. I also just realized I never put Goldberry in there either, which is a shame. There's always more to do.

    I was listening to the Fellowship of the Ring again and realized that in Lorien they mention that orcs travelled up to Moria days earlier, so the orcs weren't just already in Moria, they travelled there, which means I should add them to the video.

    The author of the atlas seems to have a background in map making because she also made a map book for Forgotten Realms that I have. I was organizing things and was thinking about what books to get rid of when I recognized the author's name and decided to keep it for that reason.

  • Saruman and Grima in the Shire

    Jump

  • Here's another picture which I believe is from the same author. This appears to be Frodo and Sam, so that means the bowl cut guy in the above picture is Frodo and Sam is the angry guy right above Grima. The two armored hobbits must be Merry and Pippin.

  • Thanks! I did a reverse image search, but didn't find that.

  • A wonderful stylized version of the Middle Earth map

    Jump

  • I'm curious why the other post I did today about Bilbo's journey got so much more love than this one. Perhaps it's because we see Bilbo in the other one, but this one just shows the map? I can see that. There's a bigger emotional hook in that one.

    Personally, if you look at the making-of stuff I linked to, it's clear this is a really tremendous work of art. I'm really impressed by this one.

  • Love how many different interpretations of these characters there are.

  • There are no less than 3 sources of fire in that image containing a room full of extremely dry documents that are likely to all be hundreds to possibly thousands of years old. Librarians were much more lax in those days I guess.

    That said, I suppose Gandalf had the ring of fire, so he could control the fire and prevent it from doing any damage.

  • Epic depiction of Éowyn and Merry taking down the Witch King.

    Jump

  • Yep, that's from the books. The Witch King wore one of the 9 rings made for mortal men. After some time this caused them to fade and become permanently invisible and entirely under the control of Sauron.

    If Bilbo had continued wearing the ring, the same would have happened to him eventually. Although, given that Gollum had it for hundreds of years, it's possible the process just takes a very long time for hobbits.

    Actually, it's notable that wearing the ring made Bilbo invisible, including his clothes, whereas the Nazgul were invisible, but not their clothes. So, I guess that probably means that they had faded to permanent invisibility, but weren't actually wearing the rings anymore.

  • Frodo in the Prancing Pony. Looks more like Bilbo to me.

    Jump

  • That's amazing. I don't recall seeing a use of AI where a drawn image is converted into a real one.
