More from Tied up Black Rat
Die Fellschaft... äh... Gemeinschaft des Rings
Well here we go again. I am back to posting.
Here we have my take on how the characters from Tolkien´s Lord of the Rings would look like as anthros. I didn´t follow Peter Jackson´s costume designs but rather the descriptions of Tolkien´s original books.
Characters from Lord of the Rings belong to J. R. R. Tolkien

Hamster hobbits are even more adorable than the standard versions, likewise with foxes to represent the elves with their beauty and keen minds. Moles I think also make sense for dwarves, though with the typical beards being quite so thick and full it's the nose really that gives it away. Nice work as well with incorporating Gandalf and Aragorn's beards into their designs.
With orcs depicted as wolves or hyenas that would leave trolls, though I imagine for them that perhaps depicting them as anthro rhinoceroses might work with the size and bulk, tough hide and the destructiveness.

thanks much for the nice comment
As for trolls, because they are according to Fangorn´s own words mockeries for the Ents, I had an ursine appearence for them in mind, because i somehow had the impression to depict Ents some kind of ursine like as well as Tom Bombadil and other spirits for woods and forrests

As someone who's into description and detail when it comes to writing, I actually don't really mind Tolkien getting 'carried away', so to speak; mainly because it's still very good...
That, and the second famous author I take my writing influences from is someone who's WAY more guilty of getting carried away with his descriptions than Tolkien: good ol' H.P Lovecraft.

Hehe it is not a bad thing, that´s for sure^^. It´s only that some readers often get bored if descriptions are too much elaborated. That is why many people think Tolkien´s books are too difficult for them to read X3
Lovecraft, eh? I admit I never rade his stories, except for some teasers in google books and there it was the german translation, but I have heard his writing style was kind of "infernal" X3c according to some rumors

Yeah, that is a fair critique. Sometimes, too much of a good thing can end up becoming bad, after all...!
From my personal experience, Lovecraft's stories are VERY descriptive and long-winded, which does somewhat work in his favor since most of the main characters in his stories tend to be intellectuals who're trying to explain things that, to us puny human beings, are completely incomprehensible and far beyond our control. That's the key detail behind his brand of horror: there's no proper way to relate to the eldritch monstrosities or the forbidden knowledge he puts into his work; those very creatures are on a plane of existence far above our own, and we're pretty much nothing more than tiny bugs to them...! It can be a bit too much, though, even for someone like me...! ^^;
If you're interested in getting into Lovecraft's work more, a good place to start would probably be his most well-known book: The Call of Cthulhu. Aside from that, try and find a book that contains a large collection of his stories; that's usually how they're marketed, anyways...!
