  5. what is this? some kind of a joke? I agree with Elfchick and Geko. I'd die if Treebeard appears like that in the movie.

  7. Please, please tell me this isn't true. I'm pretty new to the internet and I'm not sure if this is a suggstion only or whether its already in the movie. Treebeard is not a funny cartoon charachter - this isn't Disney - this is, or shoud be Tolkien. I can not imagine such charachters being the destroyers of Isengard

  19. Nice job, but I pictured treebeard to be wider and his beard went down to his chest. Treebeard looked like a gaint boulder, I know he's a tree but not a skiny one.

  47. listen up, everyone...this is simply a conceptual illustration..this isn't the definite version of Treebeard. I must say tho, it's a pretty crappy image of an Ent, the race who knocked the hell out of everyone at Isengard. The Ents should be more deisel, not so twiggy.

  55. As someone said "ITS WEED MAN!" Yeah, he does look like some sort of stupid dandelion man. He's a weed that was fed radioactive fertilizer and is now terrorizing the shire! Ew...Its good..but just so disturbing! Its just really scary. Don't worry everyone, It IS treebeard... just in a very wierd, twisted sort of way...

    (he'd better not be like that in the movie...)

  65. I think this is really strange and totally diff from the way I saw Treebeard, In this he doesn't even look like a tree, ents are supposed to disguise themselves as trees and just stand there but if I saw that in a park I think I'd look twice. This is just my point of view but I thought he looked a bit more like Hagrid in the Harry Potter movie only more.........tree-ish. But the rest of the picture is O-K but hes also a little too big.

    btw, the hildebrands have the worst middle earth artwork possible, it's nice, but not acurate, it mostly doesnt makes any sence.
    I last saw an picture of them, it said "rivendel" and it looked like the house of the dwarves of snowwhite or something,

  103. It's alright, I mean, the hobbits are good, but Treebeard isn't supposed to look like that is he? Well everyone has a different picture of him in their heads, and this was the artist's.

  109. Whahaha it looks sooo cool

    It?s only not really like Tolkien meant Treebeard to be, I think, but I give it a 3 because of the great way you painted everything

    And Treebeards head is quite funny

  111. When they painted this, Greg and Tim Hildebrant were the ony two people that agreed (forgive my spelling) on what Treebread looked like, and that's saying alot! Also I am a Hildebrant fan so I give it a 5.

  112. This is just one artists interpretation. Granted, it's a reather cartooney, demented illustration, but geez. You purists need not get so messed up over it.

  113. Granted, this picture isn't the best...in fact it would make Tolkien roll over in his grave, but no matter...

    This is the artist's impression, and really I think we're being a wee bit too harsh.

    Just look at it this way: Cousin It has grown a face! Should't we all be happy for him?

    just for all them nasty comments I'm giving this picture a five...

  117. as a few people have mentioned before (why am i saying it again then? who knows!) ...this is artworkd from the 70s! it has nothing to do with the Peter Jackson renditions in the movies. Also, it seems that a lot of people come to this site assuming that evgerything here has to do with PJ's movies.NEWS FLASH: a majority of the material here has NOTHING to do with the modern movie versions. See, a while back there was a man named Tolkien, and he wrote books about Middle-earth! Yes, that's where PJ got the idea! oh no! wake up folks...

    5 because it's cool

  119. I loved that calendar. That was when I first fell in love w/ Tolkein.... that first blush....

    Now I feel old.

    But someone finally make a LOTR movie that looks the way I imagined it. I never thought it would be possible...

    Now I feel young and happy!

    Thanks for the flashback! (gotta lay off the LSD...)

  123. There's something about this version of Treebeard that's kinda freaky and creepy, yet, there's also something rather warm and friendly about him. You know, sort of like big, hairy Ludo from the fantasy movie "Labryinth, with Jennifer Conelly and David Bowie. Ludo was a big monster that was freaky-looking on the outside, but sweet and gentle on the inside. This Treebeard sorta follows that image--freaky, but gentle. It's not particularly one of my favorite Hildebrant pictures, but it's still good nonetheless!

  124. Yeah............. right. It doesn't have an kind of representation of a TREE to begin with.

    Actually, that... thing looks like a cartoon.

    I'm afraid to rate it, though, cuz I know it's rather difficult to draw Ents. Maybe it's cuz they're all vastly variegated - which is what J.R.R. said in his trilogy when describing the Ents.
