Finished my Witch King cosplay for this weekends con

The Two Trees of Telperion and Laurelin with Valimar in the background with Pelóri Mountains.

What do you think — does it capture the feel of Tolkien's description?

Sauron created One Ring to rule the waves, One Ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the swell and beaches bind them.

I made this one in 3D. Hope you like it!

Like I get it would be expensive they'd probably only do limited runs of it a few times a year, but I'd like an officially licensed replica I would pay even $500 dollars for it, now obviously you can get all the books and stuff for much cheaper but I'm talking it's like an officially licensed replica with the entire complete story of The Hobbit/There & Back Again, and The entire Lord of the Rings trilogy with Bilbo and Frodo's illustrations as well as the "Room for a little more" chapters that Frodo left for Sam to fill in.

I know Magnoli Props made one, but it's not the entire set of books and someone else makes one but it's not the same size or scale of the Red Book seen in the films, it's just a Set of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Rebound into one book with a cover that looks like the Red Book of westmarch, but doesn't have the same Type/Handwriting that Bilbo and Frodo and Sam have.

Second attempt - first time didn't post pics.

This is a quilt I made for my 11yo. When he asked for a Mordor themed quilt, of course I said yes!

If any of you parents out there are trying to hook your kids on Tolkien, the Andy Serkis audiobooks are fantastic!

ETA: Thank you so much for all the kind comments! And for those who've asked, sorry, I'm not making them to sell - this is the first quilt I've ever made and I was very literally learning as I went. It is far from perfect! The fact that someone besides my kiddo would want one enough to pay for it is such a compliment though!

I hope this inspires someone else to express their love of Tolkien creatively too, even if you don't think you have the skills - draw a picture, paint something, perler bead, cross stitch, bake some one ring cupcakes... after all, if more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

ETA2: You guys are awesome. I (and my kid!) truly appreciate all the kind and hilarious comments. There was a mention or two of wanting the pattern - I included a pic of my graph paper sketch and some notes over in the quilting sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/quilting/comments/1thn282/comment/omob57e/ I am a very fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants crafter so it's not super organized or detailed. Never thought this fun project I made with love for my son would garner so much interest!

Faramir's eyes filled with tears, his lips trembled, he swallowed hard. That was the moment that hurt me the most, since I was the child who wasn't the favorite.

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 😅

This is a dream come true. The rumours were true.

Wow.

After Boromir's death, Faramir became the only heir of Denethor. But he never denied the King’s return. Did the thought of ruling Gondor alone ever cross his mind? Did he ever see Aragorn as a rival? Did he ever desire to have the power alone?

Everything is made by hand, the sword is foam. It is far from finished but more progress coming soon
