A beautiful LOTR art(ish) site! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thanks for the link, Lumiel! I looked through the entire site, and it was really well done! (Couldn't read a word, though! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) I was very surprised and pleased to see an illustration of Pippin and the Palantir there! It is hard to find pictures of that scene, and I collect them! (One of my favorite scenes, ya know!)

I browsed about this evening and also found this link for a bit different artistic style: Cal Courtney's LOTR Illustrations . It is not extensive, but is rather a small collection of representations of the Fellowship as portrayed by the Peter Jackson Players, so to speak...I particularly like the whimsy employed in capturing the nature of both actor and character in some of these. A nice touch appears on the surfboard in the picture of Legolas, and the representation of Pippin made me laugh out loud! Still not quite sure why Frodo has flowers in his hair, unless it is an oblique pop culture reference to his pacifism (sword raised and all?), but Sam sitting in a field of elanor (!) flowers is beautiful! Sorry for the editorial, but I was amused! Don't forget to check out Gandalf! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I hope you enjoy them!

Cheers,
Lyta
