SciFi and Fantasy Art Thranduil Cave Version II by Henning Janssen

After I had placed my first concept version of Silvan Elven King Thranduils Halls on my homepage ('Hobbit' on www.henj.nl), I received quite some comments on them. Some, however, were discussing a different kind of soil and thus tectonic structure. Personally, I find this 'hanging root' version a bit odd and unfitting for the information that Tolkien gives us over the entrance of the Mirkwood hills (next to his simple illustration). Anyway - I took a few days and went on doodeling roots .... So have a look at Version I to compare. It certainly will not be the last concept of the caves I am going to produce for I am still far from satisfied.

27 Jul 2005	Emily Graham	Loading... Holy . . . crap. How long did that take?! The effect is astounding; it's so detailed. I can't say anything other than 'wow' and 'that must have taken forever'. Henning Janssen replies: "To answer the time question ... in this case eternity lasted less than a week "
27 Jul 2005	Fireclaw Elf	Loading... This really is an excellent picture. It doesn't look anything like what I think Thranduil's halls would, but it does look like some fantastic place you'd see in a big budget LOTR-style movie. I really like it. Henning Janssen replies: "If you would care to take a look at my homepage under "hobbit" there is another version (I) of the caves. I recently had the chance to talk to a geobiologist who called that first version pretty much spot on!"
27 Jul 2005	Maria Refors	Loading... And no comments! Why are there never any comments? It should be loads of them here. This picture is just too great, not to mention the detail!
28 Jul 2005	Kitsune-chan	Loading... 0.0 that is all I can say, really. The detail work just blows my mind! Wow, I hope someday my work can even come close to this; you're amazing!
23 Oct 2005	Annika	Loading... that detail-work is amazing! I bow to the ground for your patience!
12 Sep 2006	Rían	Loading... I like version 1, not on this page, better. I will become crazy when I have to live here, version one is more quiet. ( more Art Nouveau) I know that's personal. )
3 Oct 2006	Rebecca Magdalena Stutz	Loading... I'm reading The Hobbit and stumbled across this while doing a search for Thranduil. I love it! I'm wondering if there's a bigger version of it somewhere, seeing as Elfwood only lets you upload quite tiny pictures? And version I? I love your work so far, I'd love to see more of this
