For more than a hundred days, the biggest battle in Europe since the end of the Second World War has been raging. Millions of people have lost their homes and many of them their lives because of the fighting. It is very difficult to imagine the feelings and sufferings of people who are going through this hell and have no alternative but to fight and win. I would like to dedicate this picture to all the brave people fighting this war with the aim of ending it as soon as possible. Let me end with a quote…
“The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own. I don’t think it gave life to the Orcs, it only ruined them and twisted them; and if they are to live at all, they have to live like other living creatures.”
This is truly an excellent piece of work. I find it amazing how one image can express so much at once.
Though it’s highly symbolic, and has a specific theme, I find it interesting how much world-building details went into this. I find it much easier to connect to a fictional world!
I would list all of the great details and connections I noticed, but that would spoil the experience for others. Let me just say that this artwork is so much deeper than it appears on the surface.
