Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. -- J R R Tolkien __________________________________________ I just had to include that in there. This is an image that has been sitting on my computer waiting for me to finish it, for 364 days in fact. The Fell Beasts were taken in broad daylight on my camera as they sat perched up above the city streets where I live, back when the RotK World Premiere was screening here. The bg was added in Terragen, and everything postworked in Photoshop for hours and hours, taking out buildings, addin in bits of body, including finding some photos to add as textures to Terragen, as I still haven't gotten the hang of texturing in that medium and thought this looked more realistic, and meant less time taken to nut it all out. Having just taken a LotR tour recently which visited, flew over or drove past exact locations where they filmed the movies, this image is rather fitting as a first upload for me in some time. ~|~ Any and all critigues on my work are most welcome ~|~
