Going under the monicker of 'Breathing2004' on Deviantart, Jian Guo is an incredibly talented Chinese illustrator who set his sights on bringing the various works of Tolkien to life via a series of truly amazing illustrations. Covering various moments from all three of J.R.R. Tolkien's works -
The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and
The Silmarillion, Jian Guo's pieces are all executed in a visually rich, colorful style reminiscent of stained glass murals.
To date he's created dozens upon dozens of these illustrations, which have only been sold in very limited edition quantities as replica prints. While we await the next installment of
The Hobbit trilogy, I guess these awesome illustrations will tide us over in the meantime. More illustrations after the break!
