Its really a shame he wasnt properly utilized in the AUJ, he could have been such a presence, but instead is just portrayed as a whiner

The Russian ones feel very early Medieval, at least your pic, Chris, conveys the creepiness that is Mirkwood ! I was looking at this & decided if Peejers had filtered the fight with the Balrog,at the beginning,just make it dim & dark, slowly building up colour, then I would have found it more intense, You could then have the grand, climatic, fiery fall into the abyss to round it off .

The Russian ones are like old Russian medieval icons. They are strange but interesting.

Im quite fond of that picture actually but if you zoom out you see both Hobbits & the somewhat gentle way they are held

Very nice, particularly like the first one. The elvish feasting scene would have been magical on screen.
