Wow, I haven't seen anything that beautiful since, since since. . . a long time ago! :P Really really cool.

armothe,

You outdo yourself every tme you make a new one of these, the complete package offered in this file is by far your best work. Having all these elements presented at the same time really makes it jump of the page and...


... I wish on to my printer. :D

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Superb. Kinda reminds me of Thomas Canty's illustrations, if you are familiar with his work. I was just casting about for some new oval shield designs since I just got in 40 new shields, so at the least I can use that.

One question though - due to the placement of the highlights and the narrowing effect of the coat....ummmm, Gil-Gald looks a bit....androgynous.

Anyway, great job. I'll have to print out the whole thing and start cutting as soon as I get a chance.

Nice rendition of the head. that band when printed in the right shade of yellow should definately add some structure to a minifig head.!!

You have elevated yourself to being the Blasterman/Red Bean of stickers! The details, colors, and authenticity (the flag is right from the drawing by Tolkien himself) are staggering. I'm in awe. TLC doesn't produce this level of detail. Heck they can't even get the brick colors right... :wink:
