Brilliant. I love it when people take Tolkien's works to new levels.

Holy moly.
I just love this one!
Man, this is. Awesome. ._.

I still haven't read The Silmarillion, though. But after seeing this piece of niceness, it has just jumped up on my to-do list.
:iconsaulone:
Thanks! That is one of my favorites from the Tolkien work. Hearing that seeing this makes you put it up on your list of to-reads is huge. That's something every artist aspires to hear :)

The Sil is a heafty read. It's told differently than LOTR or the Hobbit - less story-centric and more like a History of the Elves of Middle-earth. It's a lot to take in and is tough to follow the first read-through (at least for me). It is good, but there are hundreds of little stories. So much so there is a series called the HOME series (History of Middle-earth) that expands upon many of the stories in the Silmarillion.

I've started reading it once or twice in a local book shop, and I liked the feel it has.
But life's been really rushy these days, so I haven't had the time to read it proper, so I still haven't bought it xD

I'm aware of the series. There are actually a whole bunch of other books, aren't there? Children of Hurin, Unfinished Tales, Bilbo's Last Song...

I haven't even seen all of them yet, but I wish I do, sometime soon.

Actually, Christopher Tolkien is doing a pretty awesome job, keeping his father's legacy going on...
:iconsaulone:
Yeah there are many others. Children of Hurin is probably the best of them, and the most recent. They are all quite immersive.

Great concept. I respect people who do original views on Tolkien characters, and do them well! Excellent job.
:iconsaulone:
Thanks mate! I can say the same to you with a ton of your work. I really appreciate the kind words. This was one of the pieces I spent the most time on as well. :)
