It was made by those who are Dead.

And the Dead keep it.

The way is shut.

After finishing this artwork, i recall reading a while back that one of the basis for Gandalf’s character was Odin.

Day 44 Uruk-hai

daxtee — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:20:03 +0000

I started this artwork as a parody of 300.=p ended up looking like a bunch of wrestlers. Hahaha. Also the high detailed belt… i’m sure there’s at least one artistic Uruk-hai, Goblin or Orc in Mordor who loves his belt making craft enough to sneak in some detail. hahahaha.

Day 43 Legolas

“a strange Elf, clad in green and brown” – Fellowship of the Ring

Day 42 Strider

daxtee — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:16:06 +0000

Dúnadan Ranger of the North, Strider.

Also known as Aragon, the heir of Isildur. I like the idea of the rightful king walking the path of a Ranger. Hiding in the shadows but radiating the courage of just and noble lords.
