Bilbo

I was going to say Auron. He's my favorite.

Is this really a painting? It looks so real!

In some paintings the face seems more real than everything else.

I always had a hard time picturing how a sword could cut off just a ring until the movies when they just showed all the fingers getting cut off at once. Made total sense.

Small sticky notes. That allows me to bookmark at a specific sentence rather than just the page.

I love any picture that shows a sense of scale like this. Not sure who the soldier is likely to be. Probably a random Gondorian who didn't sign up for this type of combat?

Always amazing when pixel art captures so much detail.

What does the scroll say?

You can. But if you aren't actually interested in devops then you won't be happy.

Would the ring be Pooh bear's honey in this world?

The depth of the book cannot be overstated. Everything has a backstory. Answers for questions are often sprinkled around in conversations spread throughout all the books. Tolkien spent years working on the Silmarillion before starting this which is why so much detail is sprinkled throughout.

And Tolkien was crazy detailed with everything. He plotted every step of the journey out on a map and ensured everything, including the phase of the moon, was kept consistent.

Everyone is dressed like a samurai? Is that what Ukiyo-e style means? It's a fun unique take. And love the shadow wings.
