    Fun fact: Tolkien’s inspiration for the dead marshes came from his time as a soldier in WWI. After a heavy rain, the craters in the field made by artillery shells would fill with water, and if there were any bodies in the crater they would float to just under the surface.
    Ok, so maybe not a fun fact, but maybe interesting? Beautiful build anyway!

    I’ve just finished marathoning the 3 Hobbit and 3 LOTR movies (extended editions). This scene has long stuck in my mind. I’m so thrilled you chose this very moment to memorialize. Your skills at modeling and painting are impressive, to say the least.

    This is the scene in the film that actually freaked me out. The sleep paralysis feeling I got from watching Frodo unable to look away really resonated with me because I often had sleep paralysis as a teen. I didn’t see a dead elf though, I would see the Beverly hillbillies grandma in a rocking chair in my room. I would have rather seen the elf haha. Your face sculpt of the deceased elf is dead on, pun intended. His hair is glorious I don’t blame Lorean Paris for hiring him.
    I bet the layer of sand helped the foliage stick really well so not a total loss

    I stumbled upon your videos yesterday and I've been enjoying binging them into the early hours of the morning. Always been a modelling fan myself as for some reason it always felt natural doing it, but watching the elven armor has made it clear why I like it so much: it's going the extra mile to get a better result.
    You gave it a full body armour yet only the top was visible, why bother? Because just in case it's visible, I know I got it covered. This is a practice I do in my everyday life with almost everything: go the extra mile just in case you need that bit of extra oomph and if not, you know you went above and beyond.
    Funny how sometimes a light switches on in the brain and makes you connect things together!
