FANTASTIC, it's beautiful to see an artwork which creates a different view for the Witch king from the movies; Merry, the green in the riders of Rohan clothes, and even the dark atmosphere comes directly from the books, and that that what makes this so true to Tolkien's works and give it more epicness!

This is one of those DD winners where I almost write "wow" instead of Congratulations, and it's truly a wonderful piece of oil painting. It represents a well-known scene from a hobbit's view (I think Merry or Pippin is seen in the background) - and depth plus movement make the scene not only terrific but splendid. The Nazgul's glowing eyes add just the right touch of light to an increasingly dark sky. Thank you.
