I appreciate the movie depictions but definitely prefer a lot of the pre-movie interpretations in art, and a couple post-movie concepts as well

Personally I assume that in-universe they are dressed normally(at least through Bree), the billowing cloaks is just a visual cue for the audience in visual media(also I need to rewatch it, but I think the Bakshi film had them not do the cloak thing, but I could be wrong, it's been a couple years since I last saw it)

Funky See Funky Do posted:I figured as much. While I'm here has anyone ever seen a good depiction of a balrog that didn't look like hulking horned demon? I'd always pictured them as a large man shaped blackness that was on fire. I'm not sure what Tolkien had in mind when he described them. I seem to remember he was unhappy with them being depicted as winged and bestial but at the same time I remember him describing subjecting elves to the "torture of balrogs" with "tooth and claw". Well the Ralph Bakshi LOTR movie was a bit closer to what you're wanting

When it comes to Middle Earth art these days, my favorite is from an artist over on Deviantart who goes by Turner Mohan, there's a sense of believability to his stuff(but at the same time not held back by "realism" needlessly) while still retaining the inherent fantasy of the setting, especially love the way he draws the Orcs, and he did an absolutely lovely piece for the Blue Wizards

joat mon posted:cleave - Originally two different verbs that had different conjugation patterns that helped keep them separate. One meant to join, the other meant to separate. Kinda funny how both meanings of Awful can be used to describe this site
