Let us lie in the sun. Le Seigneur des anneaux illustré à l'iconographie orthodoxe. Avec le nombre épique de pages qu'il a livrées sur la Terre du Milieu, J.R.R. Tolkien n'aura certes pas été avare en descriptions nous permettant d'imaginer précisément les lieux et personnages qui habitent ses oeuvres. Pourtant, les illustrateurs du Seigneur des anneaux, ou encore du Hobbit, nous les ont dépeints avec des styles graphiques parfois très singuliers. C'est le cas notamment avec une édition russe datant de 1993, illustrée par Sergey Yuhimov, et dont le caractère orthodoxe donnerait presque des airs de Byzance à Hobbitebourg. Si les maisons d'édition nous ont représenté la Terre du Milieu de bien des manières, on redécouvrait dernièrement une version soviétique du Hobbit par exemple, cette mouture iconographique concoctée en Russie se prête particulièrement bien aux épopées fantastiques décrites dans les romans de Tolkien.
Néanmoins, et comme pour d'autres moutures, on pourrait toujours s'amuser à y trouver des incohérences entre l'oeuvre littéraire et sa mise en images.

So I know I said I wasn't planning on doing (or monkeying with) any of these Silmarillion pieces digitally. But I gave in and joined the Dark Side for a bit to push the Glorfindel and the Balrog piece a little further.
I can't help it, sometimes I just have to monkey with the paintings. This version of the image is much more like the frame that was in my head originally, with a little more emphasis put on the fire and atmosphere. Hopefully the digital work doesn't affect the overall classic feel I was going for in the original. Having things turn out too synthetic looking is always a concern when painting in Photoshop.
In the end, I just love pushing the traditional parts further on the computer. But this is where it starts guys. The Hobbit. One of the great things about the worlds that Tolkien creates are the half-mentioned places and events that are going on in the background of Middle Earth. By hinting at them and leaving them a bit mysterious, Tolkien gives the reader a chance to use their imagination and place themselves inside the world and explore it for themselves. Many of us, when we read stories like these, like to imagine ourselves there in the background as clever, dangerous warriors, or as powerful wizards and the like.
We don't ever just place ourselves in there as hapless serfs who get ordered around a lot and eventually eaten. Or as complete bunglers for that matter. Which led me to an idea for a painting that I plan to share with you over the next few weeks as it develops. Here's an initial thumbnail: Makes sense right? Let me explain: A few months ago, I went mountain biking with a few of my friends. This image was a result of that. When I got back from the trail ride, I scribbled this thumbnail down: The Lord of the Rings.

Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn’t he?” Okay, that quote doesn’t really have anything to do with the Shire. This poster is the third and final design in my Lord of the Rings series. While these aren’t explicitly posters for the films or the books, they are meant to be chronological. More than anything, these posters reflect how the movies feel to me. Prints of the Mordor poster are still up for grabs on my Kickstarter Poster Project! Let me know what you think the comments!
