Artist's Comments

Sting, the sword of Frodo, made by the Elves of Gondolin.

The inscription reads: Maegnas is my name - I am the spider's bane.


I tried hard to get this to look like it was hanging in Shelob's Lair, trapped along with Frodo. I have had this image pictured in my head for over a year now, and I am very happy with the results...hope you like it too!

I like this one better than the wider one, now that I have seen both. A very nice shot, well done to you indeed, mister! :aww:

Awesome lighting and atmosphere, and the composition enhances the power of it all.

So well worth having waited for it!

Oooouhh, wow! I really got an urge to have a "Lord of the Rings" extended edition-marathon now!
It looks great!

Just curious; is it real spider's web? Or did you make it out of..something?

Thanks again! I like this one a little better too, Sting is featured better here. I have a few more shots of this, I might put another up if I think it works well with these two.

Haha, I felt the same way as I was doing this! I have 3 shots of Gandalf's sword and 2 of Narsil somewhere in my gallery, take a look if you have some time (Gandalf's sword pics are my fav, but I do like these).

The webbing is made of cheap Halloween web material, stretched thin over a fallen tree.

Thanks for the :+fav:!!
:iconcatocalafraxini:
Ooouh! More swords! :D I'll take a look as soon as I get back home and have some more time online ;)
