Thanks Andy, these were shot as tests with the phone last night after setting most of it up. I should be able to get better colors and better clarity using a couple more candles and DSLR later.

Thanks man! This is just me being me, playing with my art utilizing a subject matter that is very dear to me and has deep meaning in my life personally. I am trying to get in touch with Christopher Tolkien and the Tolkien estate regarding a project I would love to do. But this is just my own art in motion. Hence the carefulness with the words and modified maps so no plagiarizing...
