  7. Judging from the dwarf figures at the side and the style of the buildings, is seems that this picture is depicting the arrival of a Black Rider to the Dwarfs in the North as recalled by Gloin at the Council of Elrond.

    "Then about a year ago a messenger came to Dain, but not from Moria - from Mordor: a horseman in the night, who called Dain to his gate."

    The picture captures this part of the council excellently and is yet again a Howe masterpiece.

  11. No man on earth, other than the prime evil himself, possoses the kind of supreme evilness that exists in these! Truly the only ones worthy of an honor such as representing the big man up north!

  13. The color of everything gives it a soft feeling, but then the rider stands out and changes everything.

  53. Tee-hee, I absolutely LOVE the bridge, it's so cool-looking! Plus, the creepy Black Rider is very sinister and well-drawn. I kinda like the long, droopy tail of his hood, and the horse's glowing red eyes. I wish I could see a castle that looks this neat!
