Can You Figure Out What’s Going On In This Russian LOTR Art?
These images may look like they’re from medieval times, but they’re from modern day artist Sergei Iukhimov, who has illustrated many passages in the Russian language version of Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings books.
His art is surreal and incredible, though it takes a few minutes of staring at each piece to figure out which scene they’re representing exactly. A few I’m still not sure of by the end, but most will be clear to fans with a bit of study.
