Tolkien » Lord of the RingsTolkien Calendar Aug 1976 Treebeard |
Description: In this painting the eldest of the Ents, Treebeard befriends the Hobbits Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took. It is at this moment when Treebeard learns that Saruman is cutting down the forest, and the hobbits need help to defend it! Treebeard's strength and passion would lead the Ents to attack Isengard in the Last March of the Ents. This scene was an interesting project for Greg and Tim, who looked for a balance between human and tree.
