The Scene

Smooth, hard-edged and polished like a dream painted from a photograph. Giant brass cogs droop like cloth, siege engines walk on spindly legs, and a winged fell beast has drawers in its body. Mount Doom is a thin red thread of fire far away.

The Style

A Surrealist painting of the 1930s: a smooth, endless desert, long hard shadows and ordinary things put together in ways that make no sense, painted very precisely.

The Inspiration

From The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien (1954 to 1955), the land of Mordor. The look is the cold, smooth, hyper-real manner of the Surrealist dream painters of the 1930s.

How It's Made

A print of a digital artwork in the style of the Surrealist dream painters of the 1930s, not an original. Each carries my printed Chapter & Scene signature.
