Description
Hi everyone---here is my latest lord of the rings render, im really excited to post this one!
I have tried this scene several times before, and i finnally got one that I think is worth posting.
I worked in a period of 3 days off and on, first I posed and clothed the figures--then worked on the terrains/textures, and finally I added in the terrain details and clouds in photoshop. The helms and weapons are from freestuff.
"Upon great pedastals founded in the deep waters stood two great kings of stone: still with blurred eyes and crannied brows they frowned upon the North. The left hand of each was rasied palm outwards in a gesture of warning..."
-The Fellowship of the Ring
one of the coolest descriptions in the book IMO, the full excerpt is a page long, but I just found the main part of it.
thanks for looking!
