There’s another one on the topic of ‘Eagle-eyed Dwarfs’ using a scene from Fraud of the Rings. It’s over on Sev.com. For me, the cartoon appears at the bottom of an acre of blank page, so scroll down if you can’t see anything at first. [More]

There seems to be a lot of news of coming out of Sideshow/Weta Collectibles these days, and this one was too time sensitive to wait until Monday. The 2000 piece limited edition Galadriel bust is about to sell out, with a mere 70 or so pieces remaining for purchase. If you were looking to collect the only Galadriel item from Sideshow/Weta, now would be the time. [More]
Anyone who’s seen FoTR will recognise this picture of Minas Tirith. But you won’t see a still with an angle quite as wide as this version that Barliman’s Regular Nob spliced together. [More]
After the great battle, Gimli and Legolas enters Minas Tirith and make some interesting observations about mankind. A servant of Prince Imrahil takes them to the houses of healing where they tell Pippin and Merry the dark tale of the Paths of the Dead. Meanwhile the Captains of the West hold a debate in the tents of Aragorn. For though one battle is won, Sauron is now massing armies so great that the defeat of Gondor seems inevitable.[More]

What do you think about Gimli and Legolas musings about Men? What do you think of the speculation about Imrahils background? The tale of the Paths of the Dead and the battle of Pelargir is also something we’ll look at more closely. What happens to Legolas, and what do you think about his vision of Aragorn with the One Ring?
During the debate of the captains a bold plan to ride out and meet Saurons forces is agreed upon. What are the captains hoping to achieve with this? How well do they guess Saurons mind? What precautions do they make in case their plan fails?
Join us in #thehalloffire as we take a look at Return of the King book V, Chapter IX – The Last Debate.

He also has two new high-quality limited edition giclee prints available — and the new LOTR Trivia game is out featuring his artwork. [More]
