Description
Gimli in the scene: "The Battle of the Hornburg" in The two Towers.

Ten thousand Uruk Hai march on the sparsely manned fortress of Helm's Deep. The thunder of their footsteps echoing throughout the darkened valley strikes fear into the hearts of the Rohirrim. The women and children in the caves tremble at the approach of their impending doom. Gimli's greatest troubles are being too short to see over the wall and the sarcastic Elf making fun of him for it.

I do like this scene. Though, admittedly, I chose it more for the technical challenge than for any profound emotional quality or significance to the story. It certainly did deliver. And here I must try very hard not to gush profusely about how happy I am with this piece, and simply let it speak for itself. Suffice to say it is tied with "Stormcrow" for the position of "Favorite" (I suspect the beard to be a strong factor).

*Wipes brow* Whew, that was fun. Now let's see if I can get the other two done before I die of old age.
