Artist's Comments

An image that has always haunted me from "The Lord of the Rings." I wanted to make a contrast between the utter evil of the Wraith, and the innocence and "untaintedness" of the shire.
One of the larger watercolours I've worked on. It was too big to scan, so here is a photo of it. This took a rather long time to finish.
Inspired by John Howe's work.

Daily Deviation

Given 2004-04-08

Darkness enters the Shire. by ~nellmckellar captures the true magic of Tolkien's world. You can practically feel the wind blowing through the grass, and sense the evil emanating from the wraith. (Suggested by `twosilverstars and Featured by `leodadominico)
