@slinky413

Most of it is fan artwork.

man...this is one of the most lovely videos on youtube...

I've just read the silmarillion and these pictures are nothing but great!

thank you

[xxKALEMxx]

Thank you! Nice to hear that you enjoyed the pictures!

It´s a shame that audio was deleted, but I decided not to remove this video because of its beautiful artwork. Maybe you like it even without music ;-).

If you have the LotR soundtrack, you can listen to the tracks "The Prophecy" (FotR) and "The White Rider" (TTT) while watching this vid ;-). That´s what I´ve used here.

Please take a look at my other Silmarillion video (Great Moments) which I think is very beautiful, too. I´d be happy if you´d watch, rate and comment it :-).

this video was really awesome, everything was awesome about it. Does anyone know the information about the pic at 2:16? I've been trying to find that pic at a larger resolution for forever and haven't managed to. It looks to be a chained Melkor.

[xxKALEMxx]

Yes, that´s Melkor in chains before the throne of Manwe. I don´t know who the artist is, but I´ve got this pic on my PC. It´s really well done.

Tolkien is by far the greastest writer of fiction ever. The Silmarillion is a n amazing story and explains so much of The lord of the rings triology..

[Nimadan]

I like it but you need to slow. Some of these images are worth lingering over....

[hebertbortolini]

With each chapter of the book is possible to make a movie far better than lord of the rings... Silmarillion is one of the bests book that i ever read.

BEATIFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUL!!!!!!!! I loved it thanks for uploading!!!!!

[boshembechle]

There will never, and I mean NEVER, be a better writer of fantasy than Tolkien. Every single fantasy book written since him has elements that Tolkien created.

EEEPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[Semwvdh]

I simply loved the book....

Knowing the origin of Gandalf, the Valar and such, amazing <3 !

The Silmarillion is my bible and I smell the scent of one goblin here.

It really is a shame that this book never received that much public acclaim. Even today it's considered the weakest of his books by many people.

But you know what? To hell with all of them!

This book is a work of art. It's deep, it's epic, it's ambitious in scope, it's everything a fan of fantasy literature could want.

But alas, only a handful of people, like us, will ever really give this brilliant book the recognition it deserves.
