Feanor : squared up against multiple balrogs at the same time and held them up for a time until he got tired and overwhelmed

Fingolfin : dueled a weakened morgoth and wounded him 7 times and gave him a permanent leg injury with his dying breath.

Thirty minutes later ...

In terms of time.

Hear me out.

He has a final count of 42.

He is already up to 19 in the opening couple of minutes, after which we immediately see him shoot a 20th.

After quite a bit of battle time later we see him do the epic shield slide and take out more enemies.

After his quiver runs out he whips out the white knives and kills another.

We see him slice another as the order to retreat to the Hornburg is given.

Then when the next retreat order is given we see him shoot several more.

When the cavalry ride out we see him slice yet another.

He has killed the vast majority of his 42 Uruk Hai within very few minutes of screen time in a battle that he fought in for many hours.

The vast majority of the night, he wasn't killing any Uruk Hai.

Similar with Gimli who is chanting 17, 18, 19 before the wall even comes down and he only killed 1 more in total.

Edit: just pointing this out for a laugh, as usual there are a lot of very angry and anonymous people online 😅

Hi! I'm a polymer clay artist and am currently sculpting Gothmog performing ballet. He'll ultimately be spinning on the top of that piece of Minas Tirith that lands at his feet whilst a LOTR music box plays. I CANNOT WAIT! Hope you like. Will post the completed sculpt at some point fairly soon.

Would he accept Aragorn's kingship? Could he kneel before Aragorn as Faramir had?

Bear McCreary and Chance Thomas also deserve a shout out!

My next pending project finished, Mitrhil Stone made with resin, the base is clay with engraved dwarf runes. The model of the stone is of a real stone so there is no other like this! :D, shown are 2 with little differences in the resin color

Just finished this poster for my best friend for her bday/bachelorette party present! She's a big LotR fan and also a Led Zeppelin fan, and I'm a big Zeppelin fan who also likes LotR (though I haven't read the books yet).

I did a good amount of research to try and include as many LotR references as I could while maintaining the design and feel of the classic Stairway to Heaven poster. I created it using Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, and it probably took about 20 hours all said and done. Happy to share more about my process if anyone is interested!

EDIT: wow, thank you all so much for the kind responses, I really didn't expect this many people to be stoked on it! Since I made this as a custom gift, I don't have plans to sell prints at this time, but if that ever changes maybe I'll hit up the subreddit mods to see if they'll let me share a way to purchase. Truly, thank you all for the support; as an artist who only really makes stuff for friends, it means a lot to see others enjoy it as well! Cheers!

My first ever foray into filet crochet, and I fear most other crochet styles have been ruined for me. This is sick as hell and I cant wait to show it off at the Ren Faire this weekend. All inspiration goes to the lovely esotericinterval of Etsy for this pattern!

I made this lucky hobbit foot bag charm / keychain for an art market last week and I’m wondering how I could make it more obvious that it’s a hobbit foot and not big foot? I also felted Gandalf the Grey. Hope y’all like them ☺️☺️🤞🤞

So like the title says, I'm looking for other tolkein Dwarven iconography, ideally official in some way. The only one I can think of is the doors of Durin, or just the crown and stars portion of it. Are there any other examples Dwarven heraldry or something similar tolkein did, or from the movies, RoP, or even art from John Howe or Alan Lee that depicts dwarven imagery?
